Lamps tends to call things that don't connect...that's my issue with him. He's a good mouthpiece & honestly...as stupid as this might sound...he gives it a bit of a sophistacated spin on it.

Agreed...again. It's the booze talkin when Merchant's on now.

Here I disagree...I often catch Steward back tracking on his lines & this & that.

Completely down with Kellerman...& yeah...I think that he'll replace Merchant...theyr'e just trying him out on BAD...I hope.

Disagree. I like Lewis & think that he'll pan out. He's been warming up with each match.

Nope. Now that is one man that I can not deal with...him or Atlas. ESPN can keep their commentators.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
