Bullard told Gatlin that he was not given a reason for the decision, and he did not ask. Among his comments, via Houston CBS affiliate KHOU: They called me just a couple days ago and said that they were not going to be renewing my contract. It was a big surprise to me. I felt like the work that we did this year on AT&T SportsNet in the middle of a pandemic — calling games off of monitors, and not being able to travel and be with the team — I felt like the product that we put out this year was some of our best work. I was looking forward to getting right back at it next season, but they called and said that they will not be renewing my contract. So I won’t be back on AT&T SportsNet next season.
@Clutch who do we write to protest this horse ****? We should do a petition of some sort, I want my god damn nostalgic connection to Bill and Hakeem, Bull is a corndog but he's our ****ing corndog.
Best of luck to Bull! In my opinion, he was kinda getting a little too political at times in the past year or so. But overall, he was fantastic as a commentator and will be missed. It’ll be interesting to see who the team will be now. I think Craig will take over as the full time lead (but who knows anymore) but who will be his partner? Vernon Maxwell, Robert Horry (doesn’t he do Lakers’ post games?)?
What?! This doesnt make sense, I mean how much money could they be paying him, probabky not a lot. I though him and Ackerman will be doing Rockets games the next 20 years. Whos going to replace him?
While Bull seems like a great guy and is an absolute ROCKETS LEGEND, I won't miss him explaining why he doesn't like charges being called on a pass off or that in FIBA you can touch the ball when it's on the rim every single game. This really is a completely new era of Rockets basketball. Let's hope it's a good one.
All I remember was him saying go vote and wear masks Is that considered too political these days? Or am I legitimately missing something
Also that fouls were much harder back in the day, that wouldn't have even been called WHEN I PLAYED IN THE 90s lol
Crazy how many people have abandoned this organization after morey left. Even the commentators aren’t safe
" TM: I heard a lot of the managers who are still working are on half pay. Is that right? TF: Absolutely. And thrilled to do it. If not, you have to lay them off or furlough them." Thrilled to be working for half pay for a billionaire who wont take a minority owner for pride, won't sell his yacthcs or jets. Dude is a class A clown. Sad to see an original lifer like bullard not be apart of the rockets. Move by move, we change from the houston rockets to Landry's Rockets. Thanks for the memories Matt...I hope we bring in more former rockets.
