Yes, unfortunateley, Chuck Swirski is leaving the Toronto Raptors and heading back to the Chicago Bulls. He had been with the Raptors for 10 years (since 1998). Before he came to the Raptors, Chuck was commentating with the Bulls. If you want to hear the Salami and Cheese, go to http://www.torontomike.com/2008/05/get_out_the_salami_and_cheese.html.
Chuck's famous lines:
"Sick, wicked, and nasty!"
"Get out the umbrellas; it's raining treys!" (when the Raptors make several three-pointers).
"Nothin' but nylon!" (when a Raptors player hits a shot ).
"Oh my Bosh!"
"Whatever" (Swirsky's standard line when he disagrees with something)
"Alright" (Swirsky's standard line when he wants to avoid or change a subject)
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, ya gotta love it!"
"Boom shaka-laka-laka-laka!!"
"Anticipation makes the hardon longer!"
"Ka-Bosh!"
"Kaboom!"
"Oh baby, what a play!"
"Bosh--count it and a foul"

More people should be pissed off about this in TO. Frankly, hes leaving town to support the enemy, but all the love he gets on his radio show is BS.

I just can't share your ire, Cloud9. Chuck has given Raptors fan's a decade of great service, and I think TO is thankful and appreciative of a what a great presence he was. Speaking for my household, we're sorry to see him go, and wish him the best.

Chuck Swirski is a moron no talent commentator who simply relies on idiotic catchphrases to cover up the fact that he obviously must have been sleeping with david stern in order to have landed a job as a commentator. I realize that the NBA is an image league where actual knowledge and sophistication are looked at suspiciously but Swirski contributed absolutely no insight to any game that I have ever watched. If I never have to hear about deli meats during a raptors game again I will die a happy man.
