OT: Official Sports Media Thread IV (TV, Radio, Print) - Jack Edwards' contract extended

[McGarnagle]

Sarah Davis was my fave <3 <3

 

[GordonHowe]

I love that Jack is back!!!!

Me too. BTW, Kathryn Tappen was excellent on NESN and at her present gig.

 

[chizzler]

I have no problem with her. Better than Noako and Simpson. That job is what it is. She’ll mobe on eventually. It’s a stepping stone job. I’m more MEH on Jack coming back . Plus.... she’s pleasing to the eye and asked pretty decent questions by the end of the year.

 

[LSCII]

Rob Simpson wasn't annoying.

Boom.

Never understood why people liked him. He sucked. Naoko sucked too. Just like today.

FWIW, I think intermission show they put on is terrible in general. It's nearly tolerable if Jaffe is on, but anyone else, it's lousy.

Really liked Simpson. He was quirky, but entertaining.

If I found Alex Kraemer remotely attractive, she might be more tolerable. Her mouth is enormous, and if we were dating (an impossibility I know) I could see myself waking up in a cold sweat having nightmares about her hovering over me and swallowing me whole. I'm sure there is some sort of Freudian message in there that I would rather not explore

 

[Gee Wally]

Jack royally pisses off the opposing fans.

Therefore I love Jack.

Kraemer just plain sucks.

 

[LSCII]

Simpson was definitely quirky. But I didn't find that quirkiness entertaining. I found it grating on my every last nerve. To the point where I muted him whenever he was on.

Totally agree. There’s was an unsettling quirkiness to that guy.

It’s a let down when Jaffe isn’t there.

^^^^^^^^^THIS!^^^

I'm sure Billy is a decent fellow who knows his stuff.

I was happy with Barry & Nifty. Nothing flashy, but that's not what I want during an intermission. Two former B's who get "the Bruins Way" is fine with me.

No accounting for taste,

I don't know how NESN lucked into Jaffe, but they should be quite thankful they did. He's excellent. Great on the radio, as well.

 

[eightspokedb]

Great....years more of The Jack Edwards Show.

Mute button gonna get lots of work....thank the Maker for XM radio and 98.5...

 

[Flannelman]

If you don’t like Jack: who is your benchmark? Genuinely interested.

probably have to thank SN for that, AS well as the Thrashers/Jets, we don't know how he balances that

Fred Cusick.

 

[Chief Nine]

Fred Cusick.

That's the gold standard right there. There is and was no better than Fred Cusick

 

[Flannelman]

Good benchmark. Who that’s active?

 

[Chief Nine]

Good benchmark. Who that’s active?

For me Doc Emrick and Kenny Albert

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

For me Doc Emrick and Kenny Albert

I was going to say anyone who doesn't say "tumbling muffin" but I agree with these two.

 

[Dr Hook]

I love Jack- he gives me a good laugh at least once per game. My favorite guy is Darryl Reaugh, but Jack is second. I like the entertainment factor that both of those guys bring because honestly, TV doesn't require play by play. I can see well enough when the puck is passed or a penalty is called The pbp guys for me need to bring more to the table than calling the action.

 

[BiggioRainesHOF]

Nice case study in who takes themselves way too seriously going on here.

 

[LouJersey]

Good Lord! Who did she make a good impression with other than Lou????

Stupid NHLtv cut her out too much, need to switch back to Center Ice. Love her. She kinda looks like Aaron Judge with her hair up but idc.

You're a fan club of 1 Lou haha!

Kenny Albert sounds so much like his dad it creeps me out sometimes
