    Well meh whatever

    Dude was not really a Rockets fan. This fool was constantly talking about some unheard of team, I think it was greenway Porkers or something

    Good riddance

    We need more loyal Rockets fans who have Houston Rockets in their blood not some fake imports just wanting to make some $$$

    They both work for cbs, I don't see how they couldn't either find a compromise or adequate childcare

    Blank? blank! like howard shooting a free throw
    At least he doesn't show up to games with a cup full of booze
    So why is everyone upset at Joel?
    It could be he is a fan of Dr. Seuss.

    I always loved listening to basketball on the radio until he started that miserable rhyming crap. I haven't listened in years despite really missing basketball on the radio. DVR has been the only thing to save me. I hope they clean house on that cast.

    I think Joel is a nice guy but I can't listen to him for 30 seconds.

    YES! This I can deal with. Someone with a brain and doesn't need a stupid rhyme to tell me what is going on. Probably short term but I listen on the next drive home.

    I like Craig a lot. I just wish that he would mention the score more often during gameplay. IT's always tough for me to keep track while listening.

    This! That and like someone mention before he confuses the ***** out of me with his hooting and holering on basic plays. Did I mention how much I miss Gene and Jim....

    He should have never worked color on the radio, just kept his old job. Adam Wexler was my pick to replace Jim Foley and he did a great job during the playoffs with the Lakers.

    You're crazy. Craig is a beast. I love that about him. You really want people droning on the radio? I'm trying to hear some emotion.

    Just speculating, but I wonder if the FO thought it was Joel that was dropping those nuggets to the media, about the Harden/Dwight rift and everything. Whatever Brown came out and patently denied.

    Brown seemed pretty furious in his comments on the issue, I bet they've been looking from top to bottom on who said that stuff.

    Never said that, but if you ever listened to Gene Peterson he would paint a picture of the game. Excitement was done when needed and not over the top. Ackerman has big shoes to fill and I don't expect him to be comparable to legends but don't try so hard.

    I was just going to say this..because of the timing of it all...unless they suddenly decided they really wanted to take care of their kid themselves, then i guess that could make you quit your dream job.
