Haha.

As much as i love Boogie the player, and think he is likely a genuinely good dude, he is objectively bad at his job.

Jack ain't my cup of tea, and that's probably just my own subjective take, but he's 'good' at what he does.

Get this gahbage outta this thread.


I have you on ignore (to avoid the Fred groveling), regardless I fail to see the appeal of a hack broadcaster who's nothing more than a complete caricature of himself, who churns out sound effects, gimmicks and tired catch phrases; or, he's opining on climate change denial and Hazel McCallion, instead of the actual basketball game in front of him.

He looks so young there.

Is there a clip of the time last year when he meant to reference Ron Burgundy but said Ron Jermey by mistake? Now that broke up Devlin like nothing else.

Jack always had great chemistry with Chuck Swirsky as well, unlike Leo and Chuck




Matty D knowing who Ron Jeremy was instantly and going into a hissy fit was hilarious!

When you're so immature and defensive over a public figure that you demand to know personal and private information from a complete stranger on the internet, because they have a different opinion than you.

People think they just want analysis but it becomes incredibly dry. I've listened to Nate Duncan and Danny Leroux streams, they can be informative but i can't imagine the casual fan enjoying it. You need a mix of analysis and entertainment. Raptors' crew is leaning too much one way right now but i like the addition of Alvin Williams so it's provides a better mix.

A little more actual detailed analysis would be nice occasionally.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

What always amazed me was Jack during his 40's, he looked like he was 65 lol.

Announcers at the end of the day are supposed to be enhancing the product and be entertaining. Matt and Jack are exactly that!
