Why was joel meyers fired

I always loved his fan-like excitement for the game, especially his Kobe at Portland call that 38 mentions.

Presumably as opposed to being a perfect shot that nevertheless missed when adversely affected by air circulation. Favorite phrases??? Well, NONE. I like him. Yeah, I like to put something right between HIS eyes. Or, hell That phrase is stupid on many levels. So to talk about the shooter giving the passer the assist, is a backassward way of thinking of things. Granted, there are times when the shooter makes a tough shot and it IS like he gave the passer the assist.

But in that case, again, he should probably be talking about the shot not the pass, right? But his color guy, Mike Smith? The one that always gets me about Joel is when he talks about a player that he and Stu really like.

Every one of these guys is a great player and a better kid according to Joel. On top of that he really liked them and knew they could play when he saw them in the summer league.

KFI is dropping its weekend sports talk show and will have sports talk only on Sundays, from 8 p. Joe McDonnell will be the host. SportsChannel has made a deal with the Rams to carry their three home exhibition games on a one-day tape delay and also to carry a Ram highlight show for 20 weeks.

Prime Ticket, according to spokeswoman Lori Gutknecht, passed on the package. Dick Bass, after 12 seasons, did not have his contract renewed.

Channel 11 will have a special Ram pregame show Saturday night at with sports anchor Rick Garcia. Channel 4 does not have a Saturday night sports wrap-up show. The Sunday night Nielsens: Channel 4, 6. Of course Channel 5 has the advantage of having its wrap-up shows on earlier than the network stations. Meyers has been teamed with Stu Lantz to create the Lakers play by play team, but it appears the team will be broken up at the end of the season.

According to the source all the Lakers broadcast analysts will see their contract expire at the end of the season, but only some of them will be back. It appears that Meyers will not be back with the team in Rumor has it that Los Angeles radio play by play analyst Spero Dedes will get the job. If you're no-talent of a broadcaster, is it better to be a corn dog or a weiner? On one side of this you have Joel Meyers.

A guy who's borrowed his voice from countless failed broadcasters. On the other side you have Ralph Lawler who is only original because he sounds so damn stupid.

If joel were broadcasting for any team but the Lakers, I'd give him the nod or at least place him alongside Lawler in terms of talent.
