Petition to have Reggie Miller removed from Spurs telecasts

Sign in.

[spursfan1000]

He hasn't been that bad

[Robz4000]

I'll sign it if it also includes taking him out back to be shot.

[Chris]

As long as it isn't Jon "Full of Piss & Vinegar" Barry imo

[hater]

He's better than cuck Barry or his brotha tbh

Better than Shaq too

[CosmicCowboy]

Fssw with Sean is better.

[baseline bum]

I think Miller is pretty awful for a color guy, but I did love when Milled christened Tim Old Man Riverwalk after he hit that series winning turnaround in OKC.

[SpursforSix]

Fssw with Sean is better.

Mine is blacked out (no racist).

[Sean Cagney]

As long as it isn't Jon "Full of Piss & Vinegar" Barry imo

I can stand that fool Jon Barry, agreed on that part. Him and his smug look on his sorry ass face when he tries to diss the Spurs on the low. He is another upset they never won shit in the league, probably jealous of his brother.

[baseline bum]

Fssw with Sean is better.

Easily. As much as I hate the picture quality for FSSW vs TNT/ESPN (FSSW's lighting is shit, everything looks too dark and too green), I'd much rather listen to our own guys so I leave it on Fox Sports.

[DarrinS]

Meh, I'm used to his shit takes.

[random21]

One of my fav all-time bball players when I was in elementary.. Is a Spurs hater def........

[Chris]

Miller has a subtle hatred for the Spurs which is evident, but he is a fan of the system and a big fan of Pop.

[tholdren]

Not as annoying as half of st

[LakerHater]

Yup, hadta switch to fox sports

[TheGreatYacht]

He hasn't been that bad

[dabom]

Dude always slobbed GSW a few years ago and still does.

[TheGreatYacht]

Marc Jackson, Jon Barry, and JVG are worse

[Keepin' it real]

Sign in.

Link?

[dabom]

And I don't think he is on the Spurs telecast...

[Ron Swanson]

Fssw with Sean is better.

[steeledl]

I like Reggie tbh..... I like Van Gundy as well.... Don't get the hate for these dudes.

[Gagnrath]

The thing that I don't get is that Bret Barry is decent whenever he comments on or about the spurs save for Parker directly. His brother Jon seems to carry a hatred.

[BillMc]

I'd rather ban Stephen A and Skip from ever speaking again.

[SpurPadre]

As long as it isn't Jon "TP fucked my brother's wife, wah, wah!" Barry imo

FIFY

[DPG21920]

I think Miller is pretty awful for a color guy, but I did love when Milled christened Tim Old Man Riverwalk after he hit that series winning turnaround in OKC.

Yup. He's the worst, but came up with the most random all time great walk off line.

[spurs10]

Same. Sometimes they have me SMH but not all the time tbh.

[steeledl]

Every announcer has bad takes but JVG makes me die laughing. He gives zero fucks .

Exactly! Some people take shit too seriously.

[Spurs9]

Barkley just called Reggie the worst analyst on tv :lol

[ViceCity86]

Charles Barkley just said Reggie Miller may be the worst analysts on television.:lol

[ViceCity86]

:lmao:lmao:lmao

[Keepin' it real]

Exactly! Some people take shit too seriously.

Yes, but some people don't take "shit" seriously enough.

[TheDoctor]

He's bad, but MJackson and Barry bros are the worst.

[HarlemHeat37]

Reggie is the 2nd worst behind Jon Barry, but he hasn't been that bad in this series IMO..they haven't really discussed anything outside of Memphis' injuries, tbh:lol

In all honesty, though, there aren't more than a few National "analysts" that are good..I like McHale and JVG, that's about it, off the top of my head..

Mike Fratello, Webber and current, senile Hubie Brown are horrible..

Brent Barry has been really good at it..

[HarlemHeat37]

Brent Barry has been really good at it..

I can't really remember his level of quality as an announcer, tbh..I think of him as the halftime/pre-game guy on NBA TV..

[Spurs9]

We need to bring back Bill Walton tbh

[Chris]

I forgot Webber is terrible :lol

[808]

Lol is this a play on the damn sensitive Seahawk fans who started a petition to ban Joe Buck and Troy Aikman from calling their games?

[KDKSpurs24]

Yes, but some people don't take "shit" seriously enough.
I'm talking about how people think these commentators are against their team. Even if they say good stuff about the team it seems like bias people only hear the bad. Then start talking bad about these guys.

[Sean Cagney]

Sean I think you left an 't...

Yep, not can that is for certain.

[Spurtacular]

Sign in.

Only if it includes blocking apalisoc_9 's IP.

[apalisoc_9]

Hubie brown :lmao

Guy is senile now tbh. :lmao

[Mouth is Bleeding]

Reggie is the one I just can't tolerate.

Hubie, JVG, Brent Barry or Webber being worse than him seems like an insane opinion. Do you guys base this just on Spurs games?

Almost all sharp NBA fans think Hubie and Brent are the best currently.

Jon Barry is the only one that runs Reggie close in awfulness.

Also not impressed with Grant Hill so far.

[lefty]

I'd rather ban Stephen A and Skip from ever speaking again.

Those 2 announing a game would be epic

[313]

It's a shame no one's told Hubie how senile he's become

[hsxvvd]

Why no Sean?

[hsxvvd]

I pay for premium league pass to avoid this sort of shit.

[BillMc]

Those 2 announing a game would be epic

They'd just argue all the time and we'd never hear any of the game.:lol

[Gervin44Silas13]

Reggie Miller is a Star Trek Ferengie looking motherfucker who is one bitter anti Spurs because I dont have a ring and my brosister was a better palyer than him........ fuck him and Greg Anthony.

[cd98]

Ya'll don't know how lucky we have it. Try listening to Brent Barry's dad commentate in the 90s. He was so smug. To be honest, I prefer Bill Walton. Sure, his takes were eh, but you can't beat his enthusiasm and love of the game.

[Keepin' it real]

To summarize Spurstalk's comments on this thread:

Every NBA commentator and analyst sucks, and the pre and post-game reporters and opinion givers (like Skip, Steven A., Wilbon, Kornheiser etc.) suck too.

Some of you fools need to go to broadcast journalism school, get your degrees, work shit journalism jobs for a couple of decades until you finally make it big, so you can show us how it should be done.

And then come back to Spurstalk and read post after post criticizing you for sucking at your job.

[hater]

Hubie brown is awesome and easily best analyst out there.

Surprising such an ancient mummy has such a clear thinking IMO.

Great stuff from him every single time

[urunobili]

He's been decent this series thus far.

Because ALL these motherfuckers are NBA 1980's purists on the Magic Jordan and Bird COCK

Amad Rashad was always on Jordan Cock on Inside Stuff

ESPN has always rode the Kobe and Lebron Dick!!!!!

Now they are so eager to suck on Stephs mouthguard cock piece

Teams like the Pistons Spurs and Mavs that have won the Chip the networks really don't give them not enough credit its always been about the other assholes mentioned above!!!!!

I think we as Spurs Fans are just tried of this shit


And then come back to Spurstalk and read post after post criticizing you for sucking at your job.

[.G.]

I also miss Bill Walton. Fucker is funny and usually has oddball takes that often involve silly tangents that just make you go wtf?!?! :lol

I also miss that lil nigga rapping roberto calling basketball. Costas can be insightful with colorful story telling that goes beyond the game. I'll never forget that one story from the 99 Finals where he was dining at some NYC restaurant and in comes David Robinson. Costas said that virtuality everyone stopped what they were doing to give Robinson a standing ovation.

Little tidbits like that are what make that nigga easy on the ears for me.

Also agree that Stephen A and Skip calling a game would be very fun to listen to.

[Blake]

Reggie is pretty mediocre but I don't care enough to petition his removal.

Crazy that out of all the thousand options they should have for color commentary that he's the best they can get

[Proxy]

everybody sign the paper and I'll show the police

[Brazil]

Webber is by far the worst... not even close :lol... dude has no clue... if u want to get what vanila means listen to him...

[Spur|n|Austin]

I've considered watching it on TNT and listening to WOAI for the play by play but I assume there is a delay on the telecast so doubt that would work.

Agreed though, FSSW's feed is turrible.

Schoening is even worse than Miller tbh

[philldafunk]

I have to remember not everyone has FSSW

[Spur|n|Austin]

That's a stretch, I'd take Bill over Reggie all day.

Why the distaste for The Stache?

[SPURt]

We need to bring back Bill Walton tbh
Now that he has his health back it'd be fun to hear him again. He can't be worse than 90% of the garbage out there. Looking at you Houston announcers.

[poop]

I think Miller is pretty awful for a color guy, but

Racist post reported :rollin

[NameLess Scrub]

I haven't noticed anything particular to dislike about Reggie.

JVG is ok except when he rambles about the hack strategy. He is not afraid to criticize the officiating.

Hubbie seems to have an analytical style. That's cool by me.

Mark Jackson I don't like so much.

[Chinook]

I like Brown and Webber quite a bit. I don't really like Breen, as he likes to editorialize too much. Miller is pretty much hater with a microphone.

[cd98]

Some perspective on Miller. I don't love his commentating, but I think he talks up the underdog more than he simply just hates SA. Why is he going to say "Well, the Spurs need to do this on defense..." when the Spurs are up by 10+ points? Instead, he talks about what Memphis needs to do to get into the game. I don't think he hates on the Spurs like Barry does, but rather I think he just talks about what the losing team or struggling team or underdog team needs to do to compete. I also like Van Gundy and I think he is thoughtful about the Spurs and is fair in his calling. Never been a fan of Marc Jackson, but I don't hate him. Webber is bland. Like I said earlier, Walton is fun. Put him with Hubie and the television might explode with basketball knowledge and entertainment.

[quentin_compson]

I don't care if he loves or hates the Spurs, but Reggie Miller is just fucking terrible. He is by far the worst thing about the series against the Grizzlies - even worse than the quality of the D-Leaguers that Memphis has to play.

[tonight...you]

We need to bring back Bill Walton tbh
Now we're talking. That guy makes me feel like I'm watching games on shrooms.

Signed in just to say thanks for posting this. Great point re: Reggie and underdogs.

[ploto]

I miss Steve Kerr calling games. I do not hate Reggie. I think he tries hard and is just not a natural. Same with Chris Webber. At least JVG is not afraid to say what he thinks. Sorry, I still find Bill Land annoying.

[100%duncan]

He's been annoying esp about officiating :lol

But that Old Man Riverwalk quote makes him forgiven i guess.

[Dingle Barry]

Schoening is even worse than Miller tbh

Wtf? Schoening is elite.

[SouthernFried]

Mark Jackson is the worse. When I listen to him, I cannot believe he was actually a coach. Just terrible.

Reggie Miller, eh. JVG can make you laugh, even if not intentionally. lol. But, Mark Jackson...guy has some serious mental issues, imho.

Either way, if FSSW and Sean aren't broadcasting the game, I now just turn off the volume...until TNT halftime report with charles and shaq :)

And yet he cock sucks the Warriors 24/7. . .even when the Warriors aren't playing (especially during Spurs games). As if to try and remind everyone that no matter how good the Spurs look, there's a team with a few more wins who are the defending champs and favorites. Not just once but several times a broadcast. He did the same for the Lakers when Pau Gasol was still around for them to be good. So I don't buy that he's an underdog guy. If that's all it was I would have no prob, but he always cock sucks the league's current flavor of the month (Lakers, Thunder, Clippers, Heat, Warriors) when they're peaking in popularity.

[MultiTroll]

phaggots talking about where Kevin may or may like the culture of the city while game is going on.

[BD24]

Reggie saying the Spurs aren't as good as this and Warriors arent as bad as this. Wouldn't of said that is the score was flipped.

Then consoling Warriors fans at the end saying that its only 1 game.

Faggot :lol

[Spur|n|Austin]

And now for Reggie's quotes of the night!

"The warriors are not this bad and the Spurs are not this good."
"Talking about sager strong, let's talk about Jonathan Simmons strong"
"With the dagger, cuts the league to 10."
"Warriors will you start 24-0? Obviously no."
"The Warriors are on a little run here" They had just gone from 29 down to 25 down"

Reggie says it and it's faggotry. Pop says it and it's wisdom.

Spurs aren't good enough to blow the Warriors out on their home court on any given NBA night. So Reggie was right.

I caught the Sager comment, uncouth to say the least. Reggie isn't very good at fast thinking away from the ball.

TNT tries to make snooze fests more exciting by trying to convince the viewer that they aren't seeing what they are seeing.

[SilverSpur]

Reggie Miller is a bitch, he had nothing good to say about the Spurs and had many excuses for the Warriors.
The Spurs aren't this good? What a Asshole, the Spurs are always good but were even better tonight.
He was part of the "Hype parade" that had to eat they're words and a big helping of shit.
TNT , ESPN and all the networks are going to hype the warriors all year and I hope they are disappointed more often than they expect.
I predict teams like the Spurs , Wolves , Thunder and Cavs will give them more losses than last year.

[BD24]

Obviously he is right, the point is no way in hell he says that if the score was reversed. I am not under any illusion that we are gonna stomp the Warriors every time we play them, they are still the favorites for the title.

How about fucking Kenny predicting the Warriors will only lose 5 games this year :lol

[mudyez]

How about fucking Kenny predicting the Warriors will only lose 5 games this year :lol

With four of These coming from the Spurs.

[MultiTroll]

Please.
The offensive foul on ZBo for slightly shoving LMA did look ticky tack in real time. However the review showed ZBo clearly grabbing LMAs jersey and using it as leverage to move him out of the way. Superb reffing!

I know this has been asked/answered but I cannot find it.
Does Spurs Telecast with Shaun and Bill Land run simultaneously? Or no go when national broadcast?

[SpurPadre]

To be fair, Reggie also clearly said he hoped Kawhi wins Finals MVP during the game, which was shocking.

[sasaint]

Yes, I am able to watch Sean and Bill on most national broadcasts at the same time as others are suffering with the likes of Reggie. My sympathies.

[DMC]

Reggie, for a good portion of the game, seemed as if he was distracted and had no idea what he was saying, and had to be corrected multiple times. Dude is mailing it in.
