I really can't stand most of those guys.

Booner is better now that he's paired with someone who lets him speak.

Boone? Are you serious? Half the time the guy doesn't know his ass from a hole in the wall.

I would rather listen to PK than Boone.

Locke and DJ are the best no doubt but you gotta love Boone and Boler.

No, I don't have to love Boler. In fact I've found myself watching the Jazz on mute quite often rather than listen to him; I really tire of "Money!" and "Buckle up" and all the other crap he says. On top of that I've never gotten the impression he understands basketball any more than your average casual fan.

On a related note, I thought Harpring did pretty well when he did some radio commentary. I'd love to hear him paired with Locke or join the TV crew more frequently.

qtf. boler sucks, he has no passion. you can tell he doesn't really care about the outcome of the game, whenever i hear him, it just sounds like he's working

For radio, DJ is the best. On TV, it seems all are universally mediocre, with the exception of Pace Manion, who makes my eyes bleed.

I like Ross Siler the best. Hey does a good job and doesnt have some kind of Utah agenda ala a homer or a hater like Monson.

The absolute worst is Allema Harrington. He alone shows everyone it only matters who you know or rather what church you belong to...

Harrington isnt even fit to do Flash broadcasts. He is just terrible.

I used to love DJ but his head has gotten really big over the last few years. I do like Hans a lot too but I went with Mr Locke.

Boler by far is the worst....I also have a hard time with anyone on 1320 because they are practically legally bound to homer the Jazz, regardless of how stupid of a move they make. PK is the only one I can stomach over there.

OK I'll admit it, I am David Locke... no really. Can't you imagine my posts in pre-pubescent squeeks?

I kid, I kid... I like Locke most of the time, but he comes up with some bad homerism from time to time... He is still the best I have heard so far.

i voted for boler and i have to say in his defense i dont understand people getting on him for saying "money!" and "buckle up!" because that is what announcers do they have there sayings and they use them. i've never heard anyone whine about hot rod saying "and the cowhide globe hits home" or "you gotta love it baby" and thats because everyone knows they are his signature sayings just like boler has his
