Is there gonna be a parade for this or anything?

It seems I'm the only one who can't stand brad daughtery on the mic. Sucks to me.

I'll see what I can do to talk him out of it.

I’m gonna miss him. Every year, again.

I welcome this post like an old friend. One year soon it will be true but AC will have to be dragged away

Can’t believe he’s finally retiring. Again.

I hate that he has a NASCAR voice and a basketball voice…seems a bit disingenuous to me and for that I can “take him or leave him“ as he seems to pander to who he thinks is his audience. AC seems more natural as a broadcaster if you like no frills - which I do. I like Fratello too.

Love AC and can’t believe he’s finally really retiring after so many fake April 1st announcements.

When he tries to get to detailed in his analysis, the words can fumble, but he’s at his best when he’s just having fun on the mic. Fred knew how to bring that out of him. Brad does it as well, more than John Michael at least. Brad on his own is a fine enough replacement.

Damn shame that Richard Jefferson is a national talent because he’d be the perfect man for the job.

Hello everyone.

Guess what? Austin Carr to retire at the end of the season, yet again.


April Fool’s Day!

Somehow we historically have two existing April Fools threads devoted to A.C. retiring. This is just the one from two years ago. The other one probably ran from 2012 or so to 2021.

Could be what they’re grooming Ty Jerome for…

Definitely! I just heard that today from both Woj and Fedor!

I know this an April fools gag but his clearly being phased out. It weeks between when he calls a game. I like Brad, I really do but his too positive all the time. All least with AC it's not always rainbows and sunshine and he'll call out the team for their shit play like current situation
