I'd take Merchant far above Lampley.Merchant is exactly what you see.An older breed from yesteryear,a cynical crab at times,awkward when he spins into forced quippy stories,...but you'll have little doubt where he stands weather you agree or not.Lamply comes across as a pure company man towing the line and consistently calls invisible punches from the favorite while over looking the 'other' guys positives.Yells,barks and likes to hear himself recite a thesaurus at noisome.Maybe a bit harsh,but maybe my least fav blow by blow guy of all time,maybe?
