Pool Announcers; What do you want?

[AtLarge]

I actually enjoy listening to Phil Yates when he is in the com box. Here's a little interview he did with Karl Boyes earlier this year:

I liked Billy and Grady. Sorry I’m old.
I also liked the Accu-Stats Player Reviews.

 

[Jack Fate]

If they gave you the orange five and left Phil Yates, you come out ahead only because you can mute PY.

Ok deal , I’m holding you to it

Ok deal , I’m holding you to it

Sorry, Emily won't make any change without a dozen meetings. And the meetings with the players will be "Phil who?"; except SVB who will turn up his hearing aids and say "announcers?".

Hope everyone noticed how well KB handled the interview. If they let him do pre-game talks with players, new viewers shoiuld be more engaged in the match

Billy Incardona, best commentator there is.

I like Billy Incardona and Grady Matthews. Love it when they're on the old Accu-Stats videos.

I also like JJ, but he should do us all a favor and forget the phrase "don't get me wrong."

I like Boyes myself. A good stream/broadcast needs some levity/humor to keep it light. I'll probably get crucified for this but i'd like to see Mataya back in the booth. Pair him with a good host and a dry technical type and you have a good team. I never said JJ didn't know his shit, he just never stops and over-analyzes simple shots/outs. I wish they'd just mic up the players and the table and just let the game speak for itself. Show me the score and i'm good.

I find accu stats commentators to be much easier to listen to.
Grady Matthews is a fun catalyst

Phil Yates is irritating

Danny D didn’t care for him at first but grew on me

JJ one of the best although I’m getting a bit tired of him ,

Bill Incardona ,another favorite

Earl ,well he’s Earl & I wouldn’t want him to be any other way

Karl B is good

Mark Wilson , nice & non irritating

Generally any actual player that guests are ok

Bill Murray would be fun

Phil Yates and the purple 5 must go

Bill Murray is a total AssClown. I turn the channel when he is broadcast at Pebble Beach.

Nice bite....

 

[softshot]

I'm my opinion the best team to ever do it..

Danny Dilberto and Billy Incardona.

Top pro knowledge and insights,

Entertaining banter

And a true love of the game..

They set the gold standard

Sadly that era is about over.


I don't know who if anyone can pick up that baton.
