Im not going to bad mouth the guy who leaves on honorable terms. Homer? Yes but not an immoral guy or bad person .. which is saying something in this day and age to walk away and its not some forced scandal
Go do some good in the world Jack .. go mentor some college kids.
maybe find out what is ailing you and use that to help others with less access and connections
Good health and a long life to you

Good riddance. One of the most annoying bias homers in the world.
Id like to say I hope he gets better but i dont really know him as a person. So I will just say meh.

Wish him the best in his endeavors. He was a great announcer during his prime, homerisms included. It shows how good of a homer he was because of how hated he was by every other fanbase.
Best of luck and get better Jack!

Professionally I couldn't stand the guy.
Personally, I hope that he has a long, happy, & healthy retirement.

The criticism he faced from the non bruins fans outside the market of NESN (NEW ENGLAND Sports Network) makes me long for the days before Center Ice. Your regional sports network should always cater to the home market and not to random fans in Arizona, New Brunswick Canada or some guy in Florida.

He got worse as time went on. He was pretty solid when he first started and was an upgrade over Dale Arnold but he was no Fred Cusick that's for sure.
I guess it's time to change my avatar.
He was a true idiot and a big homer. He embarrassed himself publicly too often to even count. The Pat Maroon one was one to remember.
He'll be missed, he was funny.

People outside the bruins NESN market trying to dictate how the local announcer should sound. They had no business tuning into NESN other than wanting to get offended by the pbp guy so they can complain.
It's a modern day phenomenon.
I wish Time would've stole his douchebaggery skills years before in that case and maybe I'd be a bit more sympathetic. But happy health nonetheless....
thank God.

Good riddance. Wish him well with his health though.

He's been cleared by neurologists but something is not right there. Like he aged 20 years in a year.

When you really start to get old, basic skills and abilities can vanish with a snap. You can have it one day and then they're gone the next.

It can happen faster for some people, but he's only 66 and he talks like he's 86 now.

About f***ing time, this dude is the biggest homer and he is just trash at the job.

Really explains how clueless bruins fans are on here
They’ve been listening to this idiot for 20 years
He has been diagnosed with high level delusion.
Sadly, its quite off putting. Hope he recovers.

Anyone giving any hate towards Jack can go f themselves. Despite his obvious homerism he was easily among the bes5 PBP guys in the business. His knowledge and passion woll be hard to ever match.
Feel the same about him as I did about Don Cherry. Neanderthal and annoying at times, but always entertaining, he's a loss for hockey.

The thing that's going to be telling is when, at some point, it comes out what's wrong with Edwards. [I offered thoughts on this in an earlier thread on Edwards.]
A handful of people who've been critical of Edwards in this thread will have some contrition. Way too many of them, however, are going to take the opportunity to take yet another dump on him and be completely unrepentant about it. Not because he physically harmed them or defamed them, or otherwise did things to make their lives a living hell and such, but because ... he ... hurt their feelings at some point.
