:roll: The disgustingly absurd amount of irony in JR giving NHL analysis and talking about a player's ego needing to be checked is not lost on me.
Honestly, I wish he'd just STFU.

Talk about egos. They don't get any bigger than his. I can't stand him.

Once a ****** that can't keep his mouth shut, always a ****** that can't keep his mouth shut.
JR, that in a nutshell is your problem.

First let's give him a bobble head night. Maybe a tag team one of JR and Cheli?

Frankly, I like listening to JR. Everybody has an opinion.
I like Cherry too. And Macguire. At least they're entertaining.
What would you prefer - a commentator/host that says all the safe boring things that you agree with?
... Milbury rubs me the wrong way though, not sure why.

JR just doesnt ever know when to shut the **** up. He's a great guy for the fans though. He'd be perfect if he didn't have a MOUTH.

JR is certainly interesting, I like him. Cherry too, he says exactly what he feels. Macguire is a joke he only takes about the wings and how good they are and how much he loves to blow them. Milbury is a prick and an idiot so yeah.

It's one thing to say boring things, but JR just likes to say things he doesn't even believe because he wants the reaction and the attention. Just like the other fucksticks on your list. I don't need people to agree with me, I just need them to have a fucking brain when they say something. And Milbury has never been accused of that.

I have zero problems with JR or any other analyst being honest and giving their true opinions rather than cliches. The problem with JR is that he'd like people to think he's all refreshing and vanguard in this manner when in fact he's full of shit and his analysis at any given moment or whimsy is fueled in fact not by critical analysis but rather emotional baggage bs he's bringing to the table. As in he gladly and seemingly under the guise of reconciliation accepts his Heritage Night---a sign that perhaps hatchets are being buried between him and the Hawks especially when coupled with the fact that he had expressed the previous season that he wouldn't mind being named a Hawks Ambassador too. You think he's come to peace (or is starting to) with shit then during the Playoffs he says during the WCF that if pressured he has to pick SJ for sentimental reasons which is fine, that's his opinion but then prefaces that shit with crap like their organization deserves it and their fans deserve it because they treated him so well. That implies that Chicago fans ran him out of town and did something other than adore his Hawks contributions and what a character he was.
Okay, whatever but THEN in the SCF he turns around and says the SAME EXACT crap about PHI! Once again saying their organization and fans deserved it, that they treated him so well. WTF is that? Why would he say and do this to Chicago fans when he knows how much they suffered? And indeed if he had any positive vestigial feelings and emotions about the club wouldn't he want them to at least also get the Cup after almost a half a century? So unnecessary. He's NOWHERE NEAR having learned how to get past shit emotionally which doesn't therefore bring about "truthful" analysis IMO but rather patently emotional responses. Proof? His teary reaction to "the Haws man" at the end of Game 6. Oh, so I guess he does still have deep feelings for the organization and can be happy they won because it would have seemed to me prior to that he would be torn up about PHI and their fans not getting what they deserve. Please, his awesome on-ice talents aside JR is a needy media and fame whore.

Exactly, bookjones. JR says shit to say shit. He doesn't believe half of it. I still don't even buy that he cried last year because he was touched that the Hawks had won the Cup; he was simply upset that he wasn't the savior to lead the Hawks to the promised land, that he wasn't part of the parade.
He is a media whore, nothing more, nothing less. And I'm not going to use the acronym -- dude needs to shut the **** up.
Okay, gotta get going to catch our plane to Chicago so we can see the banner raised on Saturday. In so many ways it seems like they won the Cup just yesterday. Can't wait to experience this, Lord and USAirways willing.

Well, while there's been a few good points made here, I still prefer to have some "commentators" show their warts and all and be entertaining. If you don't want emotion - which can change one's opinion about life on the go- then I guess Bob McKenzie or Dave Hodge would be better.
I'll listen to Kypreos or JR any day of the week.

I like Don Cherry, cuz he says what he believes, even when I disagree with him 100%, JR, on the other hand, says what'll get a reaction, even if he knows it's a crock.
