Not surprised that he was fired Never the right choice to be hired His Wisconsin roots were never admired And his commentary never inspired More often than not he misfired His lame rhyming eventually backfired And all his audience became tired I hope he is now back home happily retired
real talk, from what i know joel blank is a really good dude and his contribution to the organization went beyond radio commentary. he was with them long before he started doing the radio.
He was their radio pre/halftime/post game guy. He also did color at home games. The rockets don't have a color guy that travels on the road. Given the rockets are one of the most profitable teams in the NBA they are pretty cheap for not having a color guy on the radio. He is like calvin and kevin on the TV broadcasts.
Thanks. That being the case, I'm assuming his firing/whatever was a result of something more serious than lame rhymes.
wait isn't this the guy who did all those player interviews on rockets.com? who said he was with the team since before the championship years?
Joel is just he most recent victim of the Front Office carnage. At some point they'll have to fire their guns at each other. I'll miss Joel, as I thought he was one of the few guys not buying in to the pre-stocked company lines.
had no idea there were people here that liked Blank. Ackerman is awesome but I always hated Joel's commentary. He never added anything and he ruined the flow of the broadcast.
