Mavs PA Announcer Voting - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

jthig32 · 10-10-2009, 10:04 AM

The Mavs have chosen 10 candidates. Their audition videos are online and you can vote for you favorite. See here.

And if you don't vote for Rodney Blue then you suck.

(Although voting for Gribbs is acceptable.)

LonghornDub · 10-10-2009, 11:15 AM

I thought Rodney Blue was maybe the 3rd or so best, but he wasn't my favorite. Gribble was hilarious. Would he take it seriously if he actually got it?

jthig32 · 10-10-2009, 01:00 PM

If you thought Gribble's was hilarious then you should have seen his entire audition. He ended it with the most over top spastic yelling I've ever seen. I belive his final line was "Hell yeah, bitches!"

Yeah. And he also mispronounced Dirk's last name. But a ton of people did that.

kg_veteran · 10-10-2009, 04:12 PM

I wasn't overly impressed with any of them, but I think I voted for the next-to-last guy.

jthig32 · 10-10-2009, 04:20 PM

Hey that Chris Ryan is the Chris Ryan from The Eagle (the radio station). I thought he sounded familiar.

Dirkadirkastan · 10-10-2009, 04:34 PM

Didn't Cuban consider the possibility of splitting the job into two?

horse900703 · 10-10-2009, 04:55 PM

I thought #2 Chris Martin is pretty good.

Usually Lurkin · 10-10-2009, 06:06 PM

I think #29 said that he'd won an Indy 500 as part of a pit crew. That's kinda cool.

SMC0007 · 10-10-2009, 08:00 PM

LOL @ these auditions. #4 Michael Taylor cracks me up. I voted for him.

Dirkenstien · 10-10-2009, 08:05 PM

My vote is for Michael Taylor.

This man speaks truth. Rodney Blue better win this.

SMC0007 · 10-12-2009, 10:36 AM

And1, Rucker park style probably won't work here in Dallas.

Wasn't he the "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, BROTHERS and SISTERS!" guy?

Thought I was listening to some kind of And1 circus intro.

jthig32 · 10-12-2009, 11:20 AM

I just like Blue because he's unique. Most of the other guys sound just like any genero announcer.

thurst0509 · 10-12-2009, 11:36 AM

Exactly - RB seems to have so much more personality and originality compared to everyone else. Unfortunately our usual crowd at the AAC seems to have trouble staying excited during games without someone encouraging us. I think we could use a cool black guy doing the PA work for a change (and I'm a nerdy white boy, btw).

SMC0007 · 10-12-2009, 11:47 AM

Unfortunately Gribble was better than all of them and he didn't even care. All of them were geeks except Rodney Blue. I chose Michael Taylor mostly because of how he announced Dirks name

, it cracked me up. The whole thing is a damn joke tbh, if that's all they got for a final 10 they need to re-do the auditions, that shit sucks. I liked how RB announced ma ma ma ma-matrix tho.

Robillion · 10-12-2009, 12:54 PM

I will say this... the announcer at the game last night suuuuuuuuuuuuucked!!

"Pau GAShole coming in.."
"Memphis with the basket tending.."
"defense..DEFENSE.......DEfenCE.....defence?..DAfe nce..."

A couple behind me and myself were laughing at him the hole time. Absolutely horrendous.

Lmao

must of been Ro Parrish again.

Robillion · 10-12-2009, 01:05 PM

In all seriousness... #2 Chris Martin was the best by far. Though Rodney Blue was would be pretty hilarious.

I don't know...that GASHole pronunciation is about the only thing that kept me and my buddy entertained.

- Gooden blocked that GASHole into next week.
- Get that GASHole outta here.
- I'm surrounded by GASHole's.
- That team is anchored by a GASHole.

We had a fine time.

The job would suit me

What is funny is that he actually pronounced it correctly when he said it was Pau Gasol.. then when he realized that it was Marc, that's when he started saying GAShole. haha

SMC0007 · 10-13-2009, 02:08 PM

Tom Gribble is going to PA half of the game thurs (i think) vs the Pistons! Suhweet!! Sounds like he's maybe kinda serious about it.

LonghornDub · 10-13-2009, 07:45 PM

My two favorites (with Rodney Blue 3rd, as I mentioned before) were #2 Chris Martin and #4 Michael Taylor, which seems to align with the general sentiment in this thread. I agree with Thig that RB is by far the most unique.

#4 Michael Taylor would have been my absolute favorite in terms of energy and vibe, but his voice is a little weird. It's almost like he has a bit of a lisp.

Dirkadirkastan · 10-13-2009, 07:52 PM

Has anyone voted for the gay guy?

Ok, the one that's just a bit fruitier than the others. You knew what I meant.

Robillion · 10-13-2009, 09:39 PM

Please tell me more people are voting for Chris Martin.. he is the only professional, yet rowdy proud and load voice of the bunch.

He just isn't that good. He's loud and that's about it. His voice isn't as polished as some of the other contestants.

It'll either be #4 Michael Taylor or #47 Chris Ryan

His voice is fine.

Yeah it's fine, but not as good as the other guys, imo. Hey I may be wrong and he may get the job but I'd pick three other guys before him.

craggmac · 10-14-2009, 06:38 PM

I'm pretty sure that Rodney Blue is Wesley Willis reincarnated.
