Hot Rod in the rear-view mirror
The Trib's Kurt Kragthorpe laments that retiring Utah Jazz announcer Hot Rod Hundley got a classier send-off from the Lakers than he did from the team for whom he broadcast 35 years. Hudley, who played six seasons with Lakers in the olden days, was given a standing ovation at the Staples Center.But back in the EnergySolutions box, Hot Rod's service was barely acknowledged. Says Kragthorpe:
Sure, everything the Lakers do is self-serving, but this was classy. In Salt Lake City, only a "Hot Rod ... Thanks for the memories" sign held by longtime fan Richard Anderson that was shown on the video screen, followed by a cut to Hundley at his broadcast position, served to commemorate his last home game.
The Jazz alledge that Hundley will be honored with a major send off at a later date.
