Jalen Rose is terrible

[cyguytillidie]

I thought he did a good job in his analysis but he just doesn't have the voice for broadcasting. I found it rather annoying by the end of the game. Also, you probably could have made a drinking game off of how many times the two announcers said 'Royce White has 0 field goals today.'

 

[cyatheart]

I like him, knew the teams. Knew the personnel. Did a good job.

 

[rhillary]

I like him. He is unique and not a total homer for either team.


That is all....

 

[gocubs2118]

I thought he did a fine job, especially since this isn't his day job.

 

[MaccloNe]

i love how he brought up all the great cyclones players
hornacek, grayer, hoiberg, tinsley and fizer
he gets my vote

That was cool on his part.

 

[mac4cy]

Not bad IMHO. You can tell he love Fred and had some good shout outs to former Cyclones.

Ok this is something that really ******* pisses me off. The OP isn't trolling. Trolling applies when you deliberately try to **** someone off. The OP is just complaining, which is what 90% percent of this board is comprised of.

Not falling for a troll this time.

I like jalen, He keeps it casual and isn't corny throughout the telecast. Plus he isn't one of those announcers who just talkabout how bad everything is and how great it was in teh old days.

Jalen loves Fred........know his **** too

I'm not sure I agree about the "not corny" :smile:. In tonight's broadcast he broke out into song (Tony Toni Tone "It Feels Good") and also a rap ("Thinking of a master plan" from Eric B and Rakim's "Paid in Full.")

 

[bpmcclain]

He was 100x better than the other commentator. I guess I was unaware that Scotty was on the scout team last year...

 

[azepp]

Ok, maybe not TOTALLY terrible, but he needs a lot of polish. He has some potential as a color guy but stick to the game and stop the puns like "Grooms left at the altar"

I loved that line. Cheesy? Yes. But I loved it.

 

[Cloner97]

Disagree, he was a Fab Fiver

 

[Nihawk]

That is all.

I wonder what issues someone has in their life when they complain about announcers. Rose was fine.

I like him, knew the teams. Knew the personnel. Did a good job.

I agree with this, wasn't the best job ever but I enjoyed it. knew the teams and brought a different perspective. I like having more of a fan of the game every once in awhile. he did good, but not sure I would lime him for every game.

 

[moforisu]

Not sure I agree about the comment that he thought Murray St. should be ranked #1 since they are undefeated at this point in the season, even though he said they aren't the best team in the country.

I also questioned that comment about Murray St. but he did a pretty good job explaining himself.

I like him a lot he brought up some good stuff regarding screens and other stuff.
