Humm Diddly Dee: The Eric Collins Thread

Honestly I don't mind him at all at this point. I like our crew.

You guys need to watch some other crews to appreciate ours I think. I watched the TOR crew handle the GSW game last night and they are legitimately awful. I watched GSW's a bit another night and I really did not like theirs either.

Done. Done done done done done. Absolutely done. DONE. I can't do it anymore.

He's the worst play-by-play caller I've ever heard in professional sports, and frankly, right there at the bottom of all broadcasts, professional or otherwise.

Awful. Absolutely **** awful.

Its kinda weird that he is always asking Dell and Steph questions like:

Lopez just left the bench and headed back towards the locker room. He Dell, do you think he had to take a dump? What is your best doo doo story from your playing days?

"Hey Dell, did you ever see Muggsy's package during showers? What do you think? Bigger or smaller relatively?"

Don't you think it's because he's so green he doesn't have his own stories? I mean, Fats, what's your favorite story about Steve Martin saying he shot that from Denver, North Carolina?

Bigger than BJ Armstrong. He's got a teeny weeny.

Actually, I liked his call this evening when Hawes had his purple patch. Heading into commercial, he said, "Brooklyn getting blistered by Hawes. Friskiest of the ten on the court." And you know what, Hawes was looking kinda frisky!

Random story... so I worked a few Hornets games back in 1990 as helper to the guy who recorded the games off the house feed for the coaches, refs and lounge. We had to go in and out of the locker rooms to change tapes. I was 16-17 years old at the time. Everyone would always make jokes like "hey, have you seen Muggsy's junk yet?" Apparently his junk was the stuff of legends. I did not see his junk, but I did see Hakeem.

We walked in the visitors locker room and Hakeen was butt naked standing about 5 feet in front of me just chillin'.

Yeah, true. I'm sure if he is still doing games in five years with Dell and Steph they will have a lot of "remember when" stories to talk about.

Jim Barnett might be my favorite color guy in the league. Fitz can get annoying (Barnett and Greg Papa was a much better duo) but I consider that to be one of the best crews in the NBA.

I agree. Barnett is great, and GSW games are usually pretty fun to listen to.

Cleveland is the hardest broadcast for me to listen to in the NBA. Austin Carr is dreadful.

Eric Collins needs to take it up a notch. Remember that Florida Panthers radio guy?

so what should be on the list of Eric Collins's beloved phrases, words, cliches?

the home team always is called - the locals;
any 13-point advantage has to be referred to as the - baker's dozen;
a dunk is - a chin-up;
a lay-up on which one twists in the air (?) is a - dipsy-doo

He is growing on me

Post #75 » by **yosemiteben** » Wed Dec 9, 2015 5:29 pm

I actually like him. At first I was neutral, now I'm a fan.

I love it when he says dipsy doo

LamarMatic7 · Post #77 » by **LamarMatic7** » Wed Dec 9, 2015 6:28 pm

I bet we wouldn't be able to stand him if this was last year and the record was 5-15, yet Collins stayed positive.

WTF is a moon ball?

Similar to a moon landing (where two men accidentally touch their butts together), except instead it's the backside of two scrotums accidentally brushing. They're pretty rare.
