Basher Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Devlin is a true "network" voice. You won't hear any outlandish catch phrases, or homerism of any kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Now, if only they could fire Leo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgnor Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 ooopsI just echoed all of this in another thread...uniteHe's gonna be leagues better than the Swizzle, I lost my patience with that skeleton a long time ago. Now they only have to get rid of Routins, who was admirable as a player but leaves much to be desired in a Colour Commentator. I usually say his points before he does and that doesn't really suggest he knows too much... I've never played in an organized game before but we'e on the same level!?!?!?!?!?!?

Jaimoe Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Leo never shuts the fuck up and only occasionally says something insightful. The brass behind the various Raptors TV productions are fucking idiots to let Jack Armstrong walk. When he's serious, there's few if any colour guys working in this country smarter or more entertaining than Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afro poppa Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 yea Jack is the man...but frankly I enjoy Leo Rautins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 The 6PM Sportsnet newscast said "good-bye" to Jack tonight - alluding to a NYC broadcasting gig for Yankees baseball and the Fucking Knicks. However, Doug Smith wrote today on his Toronto Star blog that Jack is more than likely not going anywhere. I think Doug is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Jack is done with Sportsnet. On the Fan tonight he said he thinks he'll be around the Raps. Sportsnet is out of the basketball biz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Doug wrote that he thinks we'll see a lot more of Jack now that he'd done with Sportsnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgnor Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Jack's aiight. I think we're gonna hear a Score announcement for the Raps for the leftover games and some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
