Hey Jay if you can read this while you are in Vegas we need help, the next time your in the booth with Jim Wytch either be nice and turn off his mike or drop your drink cup and try to grab it and elbow Jim in the mouth so he can't talk. He sucks and the only thing worse about the pay per view is foriegn commercials, they are making enough money from us AZer's to not need advertisements. Whack em good and send him back to Canada, call Fatboy if you need help. ROFLMBAO--Leonard

Thank you, Wych is the most annoying pool commentator alive, oh with the exception of the guy who did the IPT.
 
I also forgot the limey interviewer who sat with Peaches parents, he needs the batteries shorted out on his cordless mike.
Jay and Jerry are doing a fine job.

OK, over the past year or so I've heard people here say Grady sucks, Mitch it terrible, Hopkins is horrible, Incardona blows, Danny D. is horrendous, Jim Wyche is the worst, Landon Shuffet at the Action Challenge sounded like a girl, etc... etc...etc...

Does anybody like any pool commentators? I think given the fact they get paid next to nothing, and the fact that no one is watching (compared to NFL or MLB etc...) they do a reasonable job.
 
I want to see and hear McCready and Dennis Hatch drink a fifth and commentate. Killer.
 
actually... I think Billy, Danny D., Grady, and Allen are all very good. Landon did a very good job for a youngster with NO experience on the mic. Jim Wyche however, is easily my last choice . Just using the phrase "break off"
to descibe the break ruins it for me.. It seems silly I know but it sure is annoying.

Me to, the only problem would be paying attention to the match.
 
I'll be the first to agree with U Gotaction about Grady, Billy I and Danny D being the best. Buddy Hall gives great insight about which english and patterns and Landon did a great job, and whoever said he sounded like a girl is going to get beat by Landon like I will if we ever play.

Ok I stepped up, Jim was here last night at my house and I talked to him, first off he is one hell of a great guy. He is welcome here anytime. Second I did step up with respect and I did suggest a couple things to him, he isnt allowed to say the words "slotting in balls" anymore. He will improve overtime-100% i'll stand behind that.
 
Jay, Not To Worry

WANT TO USE MY BAT CANE TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE?
 
Buddy Hall is the best I've seen...very colorful & entertaining. "Tell that young lady to go home and hug & kiss her Momma & Daddy and tell them they did a fine job"....LOL!!!:D I like Bill Incardona as well. Never really had a problem with Grady either.
 
Sorry, I can't help you. I listen to what Jimmy says and I try to respond the best way I can. To commentate effectively we must be able to have a conversation in that booth.

Personally I have a nice rapport with Jimmy, and I respect his knowledge of cue sports. In case you didn't know, he was at one time a world class snooker player. A few years ago, his commentating on pool was full of snooker terminology. He has, little by little, replaced that with the pool terms we all know and recognize.

I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Jimmy and Jerry on these exciting pool shows. The production qualities far exceed anything I see on that other network. Excuse me for saying so. ;)
 
I'm ok with that Jay just turn his mike down so I don't have to turn my sound down and miss your commentary, and tell that sucker he still owes me a t shirt.

You say that like it's a bad thing :mad: ;) There are some wonderful colourful terms from snooker, like "snooker" itself ... and as an added bonus it's fun to say things like "he's snookered himself" and "that was some deep screw there !" :D :D :D

The term "snookered" is one that has transcended snooker alone and been incorporated into the pool lexicon. To me it is a crossover term, that can be used in either cue sport.

Now, as far as "deep screw" is concerned, I am a bit reluctant to use that phrase. My producer and director might howl with laughter in my ear, and make lewd comments to me while I'm trying to talk. I kid you not. :)
