Eddie Doucette, the forgotten play by play man...

I thought "Steady" Eddie Doucette was there longer than two years. He was pretty good, good enough to have his own dictionary.

The guy who was horrible was the TV guy thats doing Memphis games now. I never liked Snapper either.

 

Versatile guy....

Doucette did TV for a few years before Pete Pranica, at least one year with Snapper Jones that I remember. Eddie was the anti-homer, and he was basically mailing it in at that point.

 

Man, that video was a trip down memory lane. I want that (deep playoff runs) again!!!

 

Loved Eddie. He had Steve laughing constantly.

 

He's got his personal cell # on his website??

 

Hands down, the all-time worst was Pat Lafferty.

lol.

"Were here at the Alamo Dome, where the Spurs are tougher than a armadillo sandwhich at home".

 

I remember Eddie. Oi do I.

 

My favorite two quotes from Eddie.

"He squeezed that one out of the pastry bag!"
"That guy is one spicey sausage."

Something tells me Eddie liked to eat...alot.

 

He liked cake. He was the one who first started calling me Cake Lady.

Then he switched to TV and cornered me at a game because I was still handing the cakes to the radio announcers. I got a speech that started something like "Well, Cake Lady, so now you only talk to the radio guys..." and then continued. A lot. I kept opening my mouth to reply but was against a professional talker and could not get a word in edgewise, not something that happens a lot with me.

Eddie & Rice used to trade subtle little barbs over politics. I gather Doucette is pretty conservative and Rice liberal.

Another good Doucette quote: "To me, rap is what the nuns gave me over the knuckles".

 

"that shot was a Ross Perot, in and out and back in again"

 

Wasn't Eddie the one that used "Riding the gravy train with biscuit wheels?" -- He was funny.

 

My dad used to hate Eddie; he'd say, "When I listen to him I see lawyers and politicians and dancing bears and plates of spaghetti and opera singers but NO BASKETBALL PLAYERS!"

 

Haha, I loved Eddie. He and Snapper were hillarious.

 

Yep, it's him. I called him. Said I was a fan of the NBA, big fan of the Blazers, and we were discussing him on a message board. He didn't talk as much as usual...
