In the words of Jack Armstrong, \"HELLO!\" Jack Armstrong has been an entertaining, colourful and knowledgeable commentator for the Toronto Raptors for several years and is one of the most recognizable and respected faces on the Canadian Basketball landscape. Widely known for his candor, in-depth insight, enthusiasm and gregarious sense of humour, Jack Armstrong, otherwise known as \"The Coach\", is hugely popular among Raptors fans. We are dismayed to learn that he will no longer be calling Raptors games for Rogers Sportsnet after the 2007-2008 season. We, Raptors fans from around the world, are united in petitioning to BRING BACK JACK next year and for many years to come. We suggest that action be taken by the Raptors organization to place Jack in the role of colour commentator for Raptors game broadcasts on CBC and The Score television networks beginning in the 2008-2009 season.

If everyone who reads this sends the link to a couple of people right now we can hit that milestone before dinner time and show them we are not just a few loud fans.
