What happened to Joel Blank?

since 2003. i wonder what happened?

 

I thought they were both fine due to lowered expectations since there will never be another Rockets broadcaster that can make "Backing it in. Backing it in. Backing it in." sound as good as it used to.

 

Joel had been Director of Broadcasting as far back as 2001 when I was working with him at Channel 20. Back then he was only on the business side and was not on air. He's was a fun good guy to work with......was a bit of a locker room setting around him......

Who knows what happened....maybe his on-air work and Director of Broadcasting work became too much of a package deal and when they felt he failed at one position..it was too much to keep him aboard.

I know he'll do fine..but he's not going anywhere with his wife Lisa Hernandez having deep roots at Channel 11 and a new child as well. Maybe he can get on with the Astros or Texans.

Good luck to him

 

Still no cyberx.....just saying

 

Good riddance. Perhaps the inbreeders up there are into his rhyming.

 

aww man, i was one of the few that liked those rhyming recaps lol

 

He's always mention his love of the Packers on the broadcast.

 

His cousin Lance is also out of a job.

 

I could imagine, why hock a team for free if you're not affiliated with them anymore?

 

How about now? :grin:

 

A month late (but just seeing now)...

He has his own show on ESPN 97.5 from 1-4.

Joel Blank, the Rockets' former director of broadcasting, has joined Gow Media's KFNC (97.5 FM) and will host a 1-4 p.m. weekdays talk show beginning Monday. He will be joined on Mondays and Fridays by former Texans lineman Travis Johnson and by Barry Laminack, who hosts the station's weekend NFL preview program, on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Spoiler

 

So what does Blank know about DMO that no one else does not... including Cyberx, Berman, and Woj...?

 

Joel was fired for some comments he made to an intern, it was a trumped up deal in order for the Rockets to fire him, they did him dirty.

Joel Blank would've been a great commentator, his interviews were always great!

 

When you look for a reason, you will find one. Doesn't take long.

 

Did I just hear Blank call Morey and Les flatout idiots? crook owner, manipulator GM

Not something new but still funny.

 

Always good to hear one side of the story. I'm curious what was actually said.

 

What did he say? What was the context?
