You won't hear anymore Collinsworth, Michaels, Aikman or Buck bashing from me.......
I was driving up from Maryland last night during the game and the only station that would come in was the Philly feed......so I had the unpleasure of listening to this joke Merrill Reese do the game......talk about an utter and complete homer who sounds like he has a permanent **** lodged in his throat. Awful awful awful......I understand home radio stations typically are less bias than national broadcasts but this was unbearable. Him and his butt buddy call every Eagle play as if it should have been a TD and they call it that way LIVE so you think it's a huge play occurring and then after the play is over they chime in with "loss of 4" or "incomplete pass." The only way to gauge what was actually happening on the field was to try and focus on the crowd noise and reaction behind these two clowns......awful awful awful......I kind of feel bad for Philly having to listen to those two.
It was interesting when 660 started coming in and they were reviewing the Jackson catch we were flipping back and forth to get each team's read on the call.....obviously Bob and Carl were saying no catch and the Eagles schmo's were saying 100% catch during the review.
The only thing worse than listening to half the game from the Philly side was finally getting home and in front of my tube to see the kick fall three yards short.......but it does make me appreciate how blessed we are to have guys like Bob and Banks calling the game and to have had great's like Gordon and Lynch......the best ever.
