Would all you League Pass subscribers sign it? Essentially, a petition to ask LP to never pick up the Spurs broadcast if the team they are playing is broadcasting the game.

Tonight, Elliot literally ruined a great game between the Spurs and C's with his color commentary that is more than homeristic. He says things that are flat out ignorant, stupid, and inaccurate. And yet never contributes anything regarding strategy or philosophy to the broadcast.

We pay $200 a year for LP, so if 1000 of us sign, thats $200,000 worth of us paying customers! Who's in?

There are worse commentators out there. Nobody would support you just for him.

i need quotes of what he said...

i agree with Netsforce also...Celtics are horrible, and they both sound like drunks and don't even know much about basketball.

Have you ever heard the Celtics commentators? They are hands down the worst sprots commentators of any sport - EVER. So if you include them on your petition I'll sign it.

Denver's announcers are pretty terrible too..

It's really mainly Tommy Heinsohn from the Celtics.

If I had to pick between Tommy and Elliot, I'd pick Elliot 99 times out of 50.

Tommy is by far the worst in NBA history.

man **** yall we got the best announcers in the league.

mike and tommy FTW!!!1!

I agree that Heinsohn is still the worst, but Elliot is gaining on him. Problem is, he cant fall back on the "cute old man with alzheimers" excuse like Tommy can.

And yes there are other bad ones, but right now Elliot is out of control horrid.

I agree, Scott hastings is who you refer to.

But this is about banning Elliot from LP. We cant ban them all so lets ban the worst.

With all due respect, this is aimed at other LP paying customers who are subjected to Spurs broadcasts. If you havent heard his commentary, no post here will do justice to how bad he is.

I miss Chick.

We still have Lawler thank God

You got my vote the guy is cracked out. I like listening to the Celtics way more the homerism comes off as kinda funny but elliot is the biggest homer and talks like he was some top 10 of all time baller. I cant stand the way he talks he makes me hate the spurs.

Elliot is the worse in pro sports. He thinks he still playing. What makes me mad about Elliot is he doesn't study other teams. He says stuff that showcases he has not watched any or much film on teams. That to me is what seperates him from just being a homer.

Elliot a few years ago: "Dwight Howard has never seen anyone as big and athletic as Rasho Nesterovic."

Yeah Elliott was complete garbage tonight and all nights I watch Spurs games on LP. Even his play by play partner is going with his homeristic idiocy and cheering for them in game, I mean they showed a highlight tonight that showed that they made a bad call against the C's and said "woops, maybe we shouldnt have shown that". Comeon.

I find Tommy at least entertaining sometimes especially when he starts yelling towards the refs. Elliot is just annoying and not entertaining or informing at all.

The Denver color guy is the worst of the 3 though and its not close. I dont know how that guy still has a job. He complains after EVERY call and does it in the most annoying way fathomable. He even finds ways to criticize the refs when they're helping the Nugs too, and the WORLD has a conspiracy against the Nuggets every game from his perspective. Get HIM off the air.

Oh man I thought I was the only one who hated Sean Elliot's commentary. I remember when the Rockets first played the Spurs this season, Elliot was absolutely ridiculous. I remember Yao was playing pretty darn good defense on TD, and TD kept missing baby hook shots. After TD missed yet another hook shot Elliot said, "Pretty soon Timmy's gonna stop the hook shots, extend that arm and dunk in Yao's mouth"...I was in awe, like wtf is that?

I haven't listened to Tommy Heinshohn, but Sean Elliot is absolutely HORRIBLE. I'd sign the petition gladly.
