Boom Gonzales is lame

[Pandaemonaeon]

Lo and behold, Boom Gonzales's arsenal of shỉtty catchphrases!

Infraction
Carom
15th Parallel
Interdiction
Infraction
Trickle in
Gets it to go
Sends that baby home
Aggression foul

[Verbl Kint]

He should really get a thesaurus.:D

[krazie21]

Fave nya yung "gets it to go" kapag 3 pt shot.

[grim646]

sakit sa tenga pakinggan yung infraction, lalu na yung 15 ft. parallel? parallel san, sa baseline?:D

[nastrans]

Onga parang *** 4.5 meter line na sa PBA. Tsaka *** mga tawag niya sa players e first name.

[she_yeo]

i guess that's why a lot of people loves him...he's really one of a kind...

[bishop]

15th parallel is really lame.... meron bang 3rd, 4th, or seventh parallel? obob talaga... kung 15-foot parallel, tatanggapin ko pa...

he says transgression every time there's a turnover? what tha!?!? nagpapauso talaga....

also, a rebound for him is a repossession... tha f*ck!?!

palitan na yan

[economics101]

he kept on mentioning the Parallel... maybe he has read so much about the "38th Parallel" in the Korean peninsula! :lol:

[leftwinger]

boom gonzales is not his real name. though boom was his nick since he was in high school.

[jenna_haze]

What do you guys expect from a lasallite huh?

[economics101]

perhaps Boom is trying to make his own "trademark" like Arnold Clavio, who is known for his trademarks "Igan" and "Ako naman, Arnold Clavio"... :D

Kaya nga hindi ko siya trip pag siya ang nagcocover e, *** mga terms sa basketball nagiiba e, he should stick to the more basic terms, hindi kasi nakakarelate *** ibang basketball fans e.

Boom is doing a decent job. Yun nga lang florid yung approach rather than technical.

hahaha....asar nga ako sa mga terminologies nya e....parang nasa outer space...15th parallel, transgression (what does it mean ba? heheehe)...

bring KABOOM back!

[faaip_de_oiad]

I don't like his terms as well.

15th parallel?! Why not call it the demilitarized zone instead?

at least he's not as bad as those MC's covering the street games at Rucker Park. :glee:

[easter]

Ok naman si Boom. At least kakaiba.

[AirHare]

...oh yeah... that 15th parallel....very annoying!!! we want kaboom!!!

[theFan]

sports language should be enriched, guys! and he is contributing to that.

actually, some of the terms mentioned (caroms, agression foul, etc.) came from NBA coverage, the 15th parallel is adapted from US football.

if you don't like him, switch to mute mode.

and does it really matter which school he came from? or some guys are just looking for opportunities to bash other schools...

tsk, tsk... grow up...

[hunny_bee]

he's doing NCAA coverage.. minsan *** sya sa UAAP..

[HansMon]

I think what makes that 15th parallel term so annoying is that it's used almost everytime a player goes to the free-throw line. And it seems like the other commentators are using it na rin.

To coydeleon: Ouch! Akala ka tapos na yun bro... It's all good.

Yes, but football has a lot of parallel lines. Thus, 15th is appropriate. Sa basketball?? 15-foot parallel is acceptable, pero 15th parallel? Saan yung first 14? Sa t-shirt ng ref??

[bchoter]

It's more annoying to hear Ryan Gregorio take forever to explain a simple play. The players would have gone up and down the court 3-4 times before he Ryan is done.

[nerdox]

"Renews his relationship with the 15th parallel..." :p

Lasalista ba yun? Eh ang bias sa Ateneo eh! :lol:

[bubuyog]

If it's all for the enrichment of basketball vocabulary, I wouldn't mind.

I mean, I was once annoyed by Kaboom's "kaboom!" everytime a player sinks a three.

Even the late Joe Cantada must've piqued old-school basketball aficionados the first time they heard his catchphrases.

However, commentators must see to it that they don't go beyond what's grammatical, if only to help improve their viewers' proficiency in English.

[nautilus]

Speaking of proficiency in English, I'm somehow distracted with Sev Sarmienta...

Often times, he's having a hard time adjusting with the way he used to cover the NCAA...

Please explain. This guy is veteran, a sportscaster since the 80s. Proficient in English, dynamic in his words. And this might not be part of the argument, but he is one great associate professor in Ateneo.

[gReEn_AsSaSsiN]

i guess boom's ok... steady... not bad, but not exactly great... wehehehehe

just thinking... if jude turcuato always shouts "kaboom" everytime a player hits a 3, maybe boom gonzales should shout "boom", too... i'd go with that rather than hear that totally sick tune that smart buddy uses whenever it replays a 3 pointer... totally sick... like a freakin doorbell... wehehehehehe

After his spiel, the great Chino Trinidad was turning over the coverage to the main commentators. He intended to say, "Back to you, Bill and Butch." However, what came out was, "Back to you, Bull and B itch."

Over halfway through the 1st Quarter, 2-point lead by the Blue Eagles; KG breaks the press and hands it over to a wide-open Paolo Hubalde that gets the shot to trickle in and is fouled. Paolo will visit the 15-foot parallel for some freebies."

Chino went to St. John's Academy, San Juan for high school. After that he erolled at UP, AB-English 'ata, then stopped after a year or so. He then reportedly completed his studies at UE.

hey do you remember that idiot doing the PBA coverage last year?

instead of "fall away" or "fade away" he would say "fall back"?

he was a dark-skinned dude with a booming voice.

for me, he outranks chino trinidad and anthony suntay as the worst sportscaster ever.

miko halili is good.

however odd the tandem is ---there is about a foot and a half disparity in height, for crying out loud--- i think norman black and miko halili is as close as you will get to joe cantada and pinggoy pecson, not in style but in quality of sportscasting.

[husurdaddy]

O nga! Si Ryan Gregorio nagsasalita hangang timeout! Kawawa naman yung play-by-play commentator partner niya. He should learn to keep things simple and straight to the point. It's distracting the whole show!

Molina also irritates me when he gets too excited and can’t pronounce the letter “R”. The “Rebound” sounds like “Yeebound”.

I miss the old silverstar coverage! Joaqui and Jimmy are at their best when its an ADMU vs DLSU game! Todo asaran kahit on-air sila! Jimmy would always rib Joaqui for staring at cute college girls!

O well! Times have changed! Sana ibalik sila kahit for one game lang sana!

[bluesoul]

I find him quite amusing. Tsaka DJ yan kaya sanay na mag monologue..

I think it's fine that he uses different words/phrases, pero na-weirduhan lang ako sa "infraction" and "aggression foul" nya.

His "15th parallel" ang "fishing expedition" are fine, pero sana stick to the basic basketball terms like "rebound", "travelling violation" and "offensive foul"

Babae na nga ako at nalilito minsan sa mga bball rules, tapos yung introduction of new terms makes it worse for me...

[kantoboy]

from dictionary.reference.com:

cher·ry P Pronunciation Key (chr)
n. pl. cher·ries
1. a. Any of several trees or shrubs of the genus Prunus, especially P. avium or P. cerasus, native chiefly to northern temperate regions and having pink or white flowers and small juicy drupes.
b. The yellow, red, or blackish fruit of any of these plants.
c. The wood of any of these plants, especially black cherry.
d. Any of various plants, such as the Barbados cherry or the cornelian cherry, having fruits resembling a cherry.
2. A moderate or strong red to purplish red.
3. Vulgar Slang. The hymen considered as a symbol of virginity.

so now we get the idea what he means when he says, "player-so-and-so goes cherry-picking." :)

i don't really know kung anong basis n'ya sa pag-imbento ng "cherry-picking" metaphor... at least sa "fishing expedition" pwede pang ma-connect sa "to fish" (which is "to find") na expression.

[coydeleon]

^ probably you pick cherries? as in charity shots? Of course, I could be hella wrong
(but still fishing expedition > j00)

[bchoter]

Cherry pickings: shots that are attempted without any difficult and without time pressure.

I hope I don;t spoil all the fun but I think we're bit picking on every Boom quote. But I guess it's all good... no publicity is bad publicy eh

Although I do not actually share the irritation expressed by several posters here, I myself wonder why Boom uses terms that are not usually used by other sportscasters. In other televised leagues, for example, an offensive foul is at times called a charge. The 15-foot line or charity line are substituted for the freethrow line. A follow-up, well, is called a follow-up.

Why doesn't he stick with these terms? Giving him the benefit of the doubt, I think he just wants to spice up his coverage of the games.

One big fight!

Sa totoo lang dude, hindi ko pa din alam bakit 15th parallel ang tawag ni Boom, parang siya si Garfield at Charlie Brown, masyadong malalim kaya di gets.

[bchoter]

malalim o masyadong nerdy :D

[coydeleon]

Pareho lang yun :lol:

[gox]

YOu cant fault the guy for trying to be original. He is trying to put a mark on this game and develop signature calls.

I find Boom to be better than most of the recent sportscasters who called the UAAP. He also has a great voice made for radio and broadcast. Aside from Jude ( I really like his "kaboom") and Boom, all of the UAAP sporstcasters have been **** IMO. Mico Halili had such a thick accent when he talked english, I had myself begging him on tv to stick to calling the games in tagalog. He did nothing good for the game except introduce Mike Cortez's nickname. His **** call, when Ateneo won the championship a few years ago, was an injustice to the Blue Eagle fans who waited to 14 years. I also hated it when Gregorio would go off tangent game action was in progress and he would be laughing with his partner about an inside joke none of us had any clue about. And then you had Danny Francisco...he should have just stuck to being remembered as a great college player because he was just SO boring as an analyst...and looked like a dork on tv.

"Cherrypicking", "stickback" and "fishing expeditions" have been part of the basketball lexicon in the 90s. I have been hearing it all the time in playgrounds across the states. Boom did not invent them. But I think "15th parallel" is his creation.

Nobody beats the original team of Silverstar sports. Joaqui and Jimmy should be back calling the UAAP.

The 3rd quadrilateral?

[michael]

Bakit nga ba hindi pwede sila Joaqui Trillo, Jimmy Javier and Jude Torcuato? I don't see any of them in any of the other channels. Si Bill Velasco, sa ABC 5 every weekend, kalaban pa nang UAAP tapos kasama sa NCAA. Si Ryan Gregorio nakita ko sa ABC5 rin doing PBA sa Cebu yata tapos ok lang siya sa UAAP. Diba coach rin yun nang PBA? Hindi yata consistent ang Studio 23 sa policies nila. Bumaba tuloy quality nang coverage nila.

Sorry for the tangent pero I think Boom is pretty good. Everyone has their weaknesses and his "pauso" words are it.

Larry Fonacier's also known as LA (for Larry Alexander) to his family and maybe even grade school friends. I'm sure though that Boom Gonzales wasn't aware of this fact and if he hadn't corrected himself, the reference would have been completely a propos the insight that LA Tenorio was in fact ably filling in for LA Fonacier.

[theFan]

dahil buwan ng wika ngayon,

ok kaya sa kanila ang mungkahi na gawing wikang pambansa ang "coverage", at mga cheers!

Sulong, Bughawang Agila!!

ahihihihi

[michael]

From the coverage yesterday, he still uses the phrases and although it was only a little annoying before, it is more annoying now that I've read this thread. Sorry Mr. Boom, it really sounds trying hard to be different.

I don't know if the pauso phrases are the reason, but the coverage of 23 this year has gone down a few levels.

[Blue Tong]

What's really funny is that, before this thread was started, I thought it was just I who was getting annoyed with his terms. Tapos lumabas ito and a lot pala share the same sentiments. Hehehe.

[theFan]

let history judge him...

will he be a jo cantada,

or a chino Trinidad?

ahihihi

[illumina]

Or maybe "cherry picking" comes from that cherry picker thingie that's used by firemen, electricians, technicians.... Hell, I don't know. :D

[L|J|APtop]

Meron kayang magttiyaga na bilangin kung ilang beses niya ginamit yung mga jargons niya? Like in the next game, how many times did he say carom? how many times did he say 15th parallel? something like that.. para hindi lang yung mga players yung may stats.. hehehe..

[meloncolee]

doesnt matter kung sinong commentator as long as maganda ang game. mas maingay pa kasi ako sa commentator kaya hindi ko nga nanonotice si boom gonzales eh! pinasikat nyo pa tuloy sa thread na 'to.:rolleyes: :p :o pero

[bchoter]

I'd take Boom over Ryan Gregorio... no contest.

[meloncolee]

[coydeleon]

^Indeed, Ryan seems to have problems explaining a play, and by the time he finishes, he barely has enough time to catch his breath to explain the one that just transpired.

In other news: according to Sev/Serv Sarmienta (sp?), the 15th parallel was taken from the Korean war.

[mullah_omar]

^ 38th parallel yung sa korean war. sabi ni sev baka daw pinanganak si boom gonzales nung korean war kasi nauso yung term na 38th parallel. tingin ko nagbabasa si sev sarmienta ng pex kaya lagi binabanggit sa tv yung tungkol sa pinagsasabi ni boom gonzales.

[coydeleon]

^so bakit 15th?

[mullah_omar]

pauso lang yun ni boom gonzales

[mullah_omar]

15 feet ayaw from the basket kasi ang ft line kaya nagpauso siya at ginawang 15th parallel

[out of order]

15th because it's from the 15th feet free throw line.

[mullah_omar]

15 feet away from the basket kasi ang ft line kaya nagpauso siya at ginawang 15th parallel

[coydeleon]

Oh, creative, but gets a lot of dead air, since not everyone gets it.

I think. :|

[guinevere_79]

Boom Gonzales is fine. Except for "15th parallel", most of the other terms he uses are already being used by US sports commentators. The problem is that it doesn't seem to appropriate to use the same terms here in the Philippines, were some of the puns and remarks don't really ring a bell.

I like Ronnie Magsanoc. I think he's very articulate and does his analyst's job really well.

Si sev narirnig kong magsabi nang "boom" kapag may tres. Baka si Boom isip nang ibang pakulo for three points instead of "gets it to go".

[theo78]

tuloy nami-miss ko na si sandy geronimo-grumo sa nbn last year...yung nagpa-uso ng from the outside, using the window tsaka yung 'four point eight tenths of a second' at yung 'player returns to the field'

[juz_me]

nasan na ba si jude turcuato ngayon???? as far as i've heard kasi he's in the states daw eh.....

[KuyaDanny]

Jude Turcuato now works for the PBA. He is not in the States.

[shak]

And he used to be the moderator of this forum as Kaboom!.

[michael]

I guess it's a case of you don't know how good you have it until it's gone. ABS-CBN let go of Jude Turcuato and it had a huge effect on their coverage. Naging trying hard na ngayon ang coverage nila. If Kaboom is not in the states, big mistake for ABS-CBN for not getting his services.

Bring back Jimmy Javier, Joaqui Trillo and Jude Turcuato! They're not working for any competitive stations anyway... at least I don't see them anywhere else.

[bchoter]

Last Sunday TJ Manotoc (yata) said that a certain player was suffering form a left-handed injury.

[coydeleon]

I like how Manotoc calls the game, talagang he tries to get into the X and O's without complicating things, unlike a certain anchor/PBA coach I know... *cough*Ryan*cough*

[marjubec]

Bagay si TJ sa UAAP. I never thought I'd say this so soon but the PBA coverage is now better than the UAAP/NCAA coverage. The departure of Mico Halili, Jude Turcuato and even Dominic Uy has taken its toll. Even their analysts are now no match for Quinito Henson, Norman Black and company. Tapos, if you go to the courtside reports naman... no contest rin.

[animo_92]

hindi taga-la salle si chino ano??? hindi porke palpak mag-inggles la sallista na. PUHLEEEZZZE!!!!

saka ok naman si boom ah? ganda nga ng boses saka nakakasunod siya sa bilis ng aksiyon sa loob ng court. di tulad ng iba diyan, nagkakandabulol-bulol sa pagpapabilis ng pananalita nila.....

Oh God no! I'll take the little irritations of Boom over Sandy Grumo any day.

[termite]

boom is courting the daughter of my godmother. she is also a dj of RX. she's only 21 yrs old while boom is on his early 30's. according to my ninang, boom is rich... he has a BMW... Boom is only his screenname, im nt that sure if his real name is jonathan fuentes. as far as i cud remember, he has a brother who is a former singer.

btw, i like boom's unconventional way of covering uaap games. wen i ask my tito, who does not watch uaap games regularly and is not that avid fan of bball, *** is 15th parallel, he immediately told me that it is the free throw line. it is 15th because it 15 ft away from the goal... i find his terminologies cool. i dnt always notice the things commentators say because im so absorbed on the game itself... just watch live games or switch ur tv to mute mode so that ul not hear those commentators whom u find papansin....

peace!

[bchoter]

Jonathan "Boom Gonzales" Fuentes?

[blacksheep_brat]

diba 2 naman ang commentator? e kung magkaroon ng sari-sariling naka-assign na mga commentator bawat school? example, si joaqui trillo sa dlsu since lasallista naman sha, tapos si kaboom sa ateneo.. tapos pag magkalaban sila, barahan sila or ipagtatanggol nila yung school. parang debate ang mangyayari non!

[nastrans]

Hmmm, parang wrestling yan ah with JR and Jerry "The King" Lawler.

[coydeleon]

Actually the set-up is suppose to be a play-by-play guy (one who can explain the X and O's, maybe a strategic view of the game) and one color (someone who adds "spice" to the game). Of course nowadays, I dunno which is which.

[Xiaoyu]

Hindi ba play-by-play = color = anchor? Analyst yung nage-explain ng Xs and Os.

Actually, I like Boom. And TJ Manotoc's my absolute favorite analyst in the world! I like their tandem.

[dirgni19]

Siempre kailangan ng analysts na walang biases, kasi parang mga refs rin sila that call the games (pero mga ibang refs may mga biases rin yan eh). Laugh trip 'tong thread nato, especially the "back to you, Bull and *****" story. I hate Boom's 15th parallel crap, parang may guerra, bwiset! Kaya I like watching games live. But he's alright.

[theFan]

i disliked TJ Manotoc REPEATEDLY saying Tenorio's tap on the head of Gandarosa should be given automatic technical. Taunting daw...

Andaming gumagawa nun, pinag-initan niya si Tenorio.

TJ is lousy...

[Pandaemonaeon]

^ The automatic technical on head tapping has been adopted late last season... since then, only few people have been doing it. Mark Abadia was the last, and only player penalized, if my memory serves me correct.

And puh-leaze! Tenorio's intent on his head tapping are purely for taunting -- an imbecile could see that. He's the reason why the rule exists in the first place.

your memory serves you incorrect...

it was Wesley vs Abadia that initiated the rule. may napenalize pang iba diyan, involving UP point guard and a UST player ata...

Tenorio had been doing that even with ****, Casio, etc. no big deal. Other players are still doing it... manood ka nga!

Gandarosa feel taunted kasi kalbo sya... siguro kalbo ka rin!!

TJ is still lousy! and so are you...

15th parallel :glee:

[cn_one]

"L.A. with the retrieval for his third carom of the game, dashes midcourt and enters the attack zone. He drives with an up-and-under move... and gets it to go! Over halfway through the 1st Quarter, 2-point lead by the Blue Eagles; KG breaks the press and hands it over to a wide-open Paolo Hubalde that gets the shot to trickle in and is fouled. Paolo will visit the 15-foot parallel for some freebies."

http://www.musicfanclubs.org/slipknot/sheep.jpg


i dont see anything wrong with that commentary... its quite entertaining... maybe your vocabulary levels just cant handle it.. this is a dumb thread...

oh and i too watch the games live....

GO ATENEO!

[nastrans]

Kaya nga lame e sa vocabulary pa lang hindi na pang-basketball.

[valdeaunia]

"And the <insert team here> is leading/down by just a solidary point!"

Napapadalas na ata ang paggamit nya ng word na iyon a :lol:

[heavenhoney]

:( crush ko pa **** si Boom..

anyway i still like him as a DJ!

[sweet_suicide]

I've worked with Boom several times and he's an awesome guy. Really nice and friendly.

[Koalaemonaeon]

"And the <insert team here> is leading/down by just a solidary point!"

Napapadalas na ata ang paggamit nya ng word na iyon a :lol:


Are you sure he uses "solidary"? That's not even a word. :lol: Chances are, you just misheard him.

I actually think he's ok. *okay* He delivers the game very cleanly and without any over the top theatrics. He's the second best commentator on the panel next to Sev. :D

[theo78]

in fairness: okay naman si boom...he's one of the best uaap comentators and he proved that hindi lang siya pang-dj, pang-sports pa...

[coley]

Well, solitary nga, my mistake :D

Babaguhin ko na sana kaso NAWAWALA YUNG EDIT BUTTON! D:

[nice_cha]

i think boom's not lame.. if think he's the best uaap commentator right now.. he really speaks clearly and he's very fluent.. and i think his voc is really cool..

he's not lame.. try listening to coach Ryan or even the guy that i really dont know the name but i think hes commentating more on NU games.. nakakaasar..

[galactus28]

I would still like to see Jude Turcuato commentate the games rather than him

[nice_cha]

i would love to see boom and jude together again..

[Overlord]

i dont see anything wrong with that commentary... its quite entertaining... maybe your vocabulary levels just cant handle it.. this is a dumb thread...

Using non-basketball terms to call basketball games is not uncommon. The late great Smokin Joe Cantada uses more flowery language in calling ballgames. If this is the only reason why some of the folks here hate Boom, this is indeed a dumb thread.

[theo78]

i hope malinawan ni boom that a yung mga timeouts sa 8 and 16 are not team timeouts...it's TV timeout...ayun...

I like his innovating words.. It's a BOOM!

boom is doing fine as a sportcaster...favorite pala niyang sport ay volleyball so expect him more sa uaap volleyball.

[Don Vito]

the only lame person here is the threadstarter and the ppl that support his opinion.

if a sportscaster uses standard terms, u ppl say its boring.
if a sportscaster uses unique terms, u ppl say its weird or annoying.

i say, u threadstarter and the ppl that support him are lame.

[chinita_grl]

So true Don Vito :D I like Boom Gonzales, period!

WRONG!

You people?

Like you are not human and do not hold an opinion.

Nagcollege or nasa college ka na ba? You can't seem to think and write like one.

I do not mind him but if there are other options I'd like to see them before picking him.

[iamtom]

hehe, it's Christmas guys...Peace Out!!!

[philippines123]

gusto kong sports caster yung bias... 2 sila... from competing schools.. hehehehe... saka yung maaanghang magsalita... parang ganito: ADMU vs. NU


ADMU Commentator: Pare... our team is really great... yours is so lame... yuck...
NU: p******na ka... ****.. di nga maka-shoot players nyo... o ayan ayan na... go jahnke... hoooo...
ADMU: Poooh-thang*na pare... ambobo ni reyes... di binantayan ang poo***** si jahnkeyyy...
NU: Ul*l ***** talaga kayo... o ayan... bantayan mo si Tiu baka maka-3 points ayan na ayan hooy, bantyayan nyo...
ADMU: Yeah wtf Tiu made it... hoooooo! your the man...
NU: Dambobobo nyo p******na kayo... ba't di nyo binantayan...
ADMU: wlah ka pare... admit it... you're a loser...
NU: and you are gay pare... pweh... o ayan na, 3 point asoro... go go go... hoooooo!


heheheheh... ang lively ng mga games kung ganito....

[theo78]

oh well...hehe! grabe namang commentating yan...:)

[animo_92]

he's doing a decent job... give him a break... si quinito ang ayaw ko.. puro stats... er, i guess pang UAAP acceptable si Boom...

sorry but can't help it (magreply ba sa lumang post? hehe). kaya po puro stats si quinito kasi analyst siya. he needs the stats to analyze the game, the teams, and predict the outcome of the ballgame. but an anchor like boom gonzales doesn't need stats, he only needs to describe what's happening in the game. :)

[bluemarc]

^ I agree. It's a tag team broadcasting. One describes the game, while the other throw in stats to add "spice" and intelligent discussion based on undisputable figures.

[diagonalley]

I actually like boom's commentating. He's not that bias, unlike sev.

[scqg]

boom is good for radio but not for basketball.

[JayLow]

Hands down to this guy.*okay**okay**okay* The metaphorical terms, The excitement he can give...especially for those who are just watching the game on their TV sets. He can turn an adrenaline pumping game into a literary masterpiece with his choice of words.:)

"beyond the area code" "15 ft parallel".

Ano pa nga ba yung iba?:)

[pepman]

He is also famous for his "I'm Sorry" mark during saying something wrong like Jai Reyes and Chris Tiu about something...

[JayLow]

^really? can you tell me more about it?

[James Ty III]

I still prefer Sev Sarmenta. Kaso, he's not with ABS-CBN anymore and may move to Solar for the PBA.

[JayLow]

^ no offense meant pero nalulumaan na ako ng konti sa kanya eh.

[animo24]

Between Boom and Sir Sev, I would also choose Sir Sev Sarmenta.

[Yakhouba_D]

parang ikaw lang ata natutuwa kay boom :lol:

[prikild]

I think boom did a good job last 2006 CDC.(tama ba?!) I wish he's the host for this year's competition. He established good rapport with the courtside reporters.

[kobebryant81]

i've always wanted to know what college he came from? he's one of the few announcers that shows no bias towards any school. unlike sev sarmenta, and mico halili who were always kissing ateneo's ***.

[Gospel of Judas]

boom invented the 15th parallel, referring to the freethrow line.

i wonder where's the first to fourteenth parallel.

he also invented the re-possession, referring to a rebound. his knack for stupendous wordplay is off the charts.

[Bahay_Na_Bato]

Boom Gonzales? Bulok.

"Stupendous word play?" Not really. "Stupidity and lack of command of the English language" is more correct.



Thumbs down to Boom Gonzales. :)

[Gospel of Judas]

hey, i'm sure he speaks better english than you.

[bluewing]

Boom is a glorified emcee. nothing more. also biased as hell. lasal super-fan.

[Gospel of Judas]

naaasar lang ako kay boom pag kasama mga courtside reporter. sobrang chancing si loko!!!

[Gospel of Judas]

Boom is a glorified emcee. nothing more. also biased as hell. lasal super-fan.
patas lang. maka-ateneo naman si tj manotoc eh. pag nag-sama yung dalawa nasa equilibrium lang.

[THE ONLOOKER]

"wheeled it in" = successful shot attempt

[scyon]

^ He "willed it in" yan ang sinasabi niya. Ano ba yan!

[dylanschuey]

Jimmy Javier and Jaoqui Trillo were the best and most entertaining game commentators pag Ateneo-la salle!*okay*

The green side will say boom is ok kasi grabe ***-kissing niya sa la salle.

The blue side might say Jude "Kaboom" Turcuato is better.

For me, sana si Sharon Yu and Lia Cruz na lang commentators!:bounce2:

[shock0]

I never liked this kid. I sometimes watch the games on mute so that I do not have to hear his stupid terms. He is obviously anti-Ateneo and loves to jinx Ateneo free-throw shooters.

Sev Sarmenta is still the best for me.

[scqg]

boom gonzales is radio jock. not a sports commentator. he's better off covering live uaap games in rx. :)

[Pandaemonaeon]

Boom Gonzales will go down in history as the only sports commentator -- below 80 years-old -- to call players by their first name.

[blue_quenky]

kung pwede lang itahi ang mga labi niya sa **** ng la salle, ginawa na siguro niya!!!!!

[commoner]

wala pa rin nakaalam kung saan siya nag HS at college?

[Bahay_Na_Bato]

hey, i'm sure he speaks better english than you.

you can say the same for tj manotoc and how he venerates ateneo!!!

[alvincell]

boom boom ahehe

[nwebhost]

"spheroid" tawag sa bola. ewan ko bakit ayaw niya gamitin ang word na "ball". :lol:

Sev Sarmenta pa rin.

[nwebhost]

wala pa rin nakaalam kung saan siya nag HS at college?


kahit anong galing ng schools niya (kung ano man yun), wala na talaga silang magagawa sa English ni Boom "spheroid-tawag-sa-bola" Gonzalez.

:lol:

OT comments on other commentators:

TJ Manotoc - kahit hindi ateneo ang naglalaro, pipilitin imention ang ateneo out of nowhere. ka-boses ni Willie Revillame sa wowowee.

Ronnie Magsanoc - hirap mag English. ambagal. parang Pentium Poor ang utak, nag coconvert pa yata from Tagalog to English sa utak.

Mark Molina - bading tignan sa TV. hindi ba pwede i-blur out yung face niya tuwing half-time? also, paki-confirm kung bading nga siya. kung gaano siya kabading tignan sa TV, ganon ka-robot siya magsalita.

Coffee-mate model guy (hindi ko alam pangalan) - ito lang yung may kwenta na commentator this year. 1x ko lang siya narinig this year as commentator. dapat siya na lang lagi para hindi na marinig pa ang "spheroid/infraction/15th parallel".

[Kambei]

Parang University of Manila yata si Boom...

Si Tj naman sa La Salle nag-college...

[dr.jackal]

hes not even in RX i think sa Magic sya...
And hindi naman sya ganoon ka panget mag announce...
no2 sya sa akin after sev, i think nasanay na kasi tayo sa mga katulad nila sev at iba pang matatandang commentator ng PBA hahahaha

he gives color to the announce team...
kaya nga color commentator eh....

[bluewing]

saan ba talaga to nag-aral?

nung una ang akala sa lasal kasi nga sobrang mahilig sya doon. tapos naging UST. tapos may nabasa pa yata ako na parang UP naman daw. tapos naging st. joseph. ngayon naman university of manila.

langya. wala ba talagang aangkin? i guess we'll never know for sure...

[five_crosses]

Pinakamalupit pa rin si Jude "Kaboom" Turcuato!

As for Boom Gonzales, not everyone can do the work he's doing. Aminin natin, entertaining pa rin ang commentating niya, may bias man o wala.

Mejo nainis nga lang ako nung 1st admu-dlsu, lagi niyang sinasabi na "pretenders to the crown" ang ateneo...

[bluewing]

entertaining in much the same way paquito, romy and max were entertaining. oh well... sabi nga nila, sa lahat ng kwento, may bida, may kontrabida.

[shock0]

I don't find him entertaining at all. Irritating, yes.

Pero pag pinormahan niya si Lia, ibang usapan na yun.
