TORONTO (RT) -- Rod Black, TSN and CTV jack-of-all trades broadcaster extraordinaire, has filed a court order against Matt Devlin that seeks to force the new Toronto Raptors TV commentator from sounding so much like him.
In court documents obtained by Raptorstruth.com late Saturday night, the handsome Black (pictured left) filed a motion with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto last week asking Devlin to use his vocal chords in a way that prevents him from sounding like the 15-time Figure Skating Broadcaster of the Year.
Materials filed by Black's lawyers ask that Devlin, in only his third game as a Raptors commentator, "fuck off." They further state: "Is nothing sacred? Next thing you know he will grow a mustache and wear sexy suits."
The move was not a surprise considering how much Devlin, is his first season with the Raptors after splitting the last six years in Charlotte and Memphis, actually does sound like the Honourable Mr. Black.
The fear from Black's camp is that Devlin could win over the hearts of females in the 55-75 age bracket, which is Black's No. 1 demographic.
"Obviously Black sees him [Devlin] as a threat," a broadcasting executive told Raptorstruth.com. "Rod wants the grannies wetting their panties for him, not some copy cat."
Devlin, who was working Saturday night's game in Milwaukee against the Bucs, could not be reached for comment.

Both these guys STINK - Where's Chuck Swirsky?
Chuck had enthusiasm and charisma.
Devlin and Black are mono-tone robots.
WE ALL MISS CHUCK!
