Hated him in fact. He just didn't like the way Jack called games. He liked Harry Carrey much better, but Harry couldn't keep it in his pants and got canned. And my Dad always had it in for Jack.

You'll never have anyone in a position like that where everyone likes them. Not possible. I agree Kelly blew the call on Saturday. That was pathetic. But the first time we beat the Nubs, him and Kadlec got that one right, 100%. He's not great, just OK, and that's fine. Not worth getting all worked up though.
