I thought Roy Jones was pretty good as an announcer. And Merchant and Jones had their arguments, but that goes with the territory, Merchant has had arguments with Lampley too. If someone says something he thinks is inaccurate, he's paid to question it.
Man you know just as well as I do that's not what goes on. There's a difference between correcting someone for stating something inaccurate and being an @sshole. If someone says so and so fought someone before and he's mistaken, then it's understandable to correct them. That's completely different from shooting down an innocent statement, as you'll find NO other commentator in sports who does this, because it's unprofessional. And one thing you can't deny is how clean explained that Merchant purposely says the guys name after bitter remark. Everyone knows he does it.
