    My guess?
    Comcast wants to try a three-announcer broadcast. Worrell-Murph-Clyde at home, Worrell-Murph-Bullard on the road.

    So Clyde fills in all the deadspace with his signature "huh huh huh"?

    I can deal with that.

    I wonder if you'll need to have Comcast to watch Rockets games

    Ah come on man, why give us hope?? :(

    I am really starting to believe and when it's not going to happen I'm going to be pissed. I really hope CSN does shake things up broadcasting wise, Fox sports was getting boring. From the lame virtual introduction shows to the score boards taking up way too much space in the team screens. From what I've seen, Comcast uses the small ones like NBC used late 90s.

    I was hoping with the switch to Comcast, they would want an announcer that can both home and away thus forcing Drexler out. Then Calvin can come back and do all the games again. Bullard is worse than Drexler, at least Clyde brings comedy but it's mostly the combination of Bill & Drexler that makes it bad. Bill is getting older and forgetful so together they sound like two old farts that don't know ****. I am sure with Calvin we will have fun, even if the games suck.Calvin brings the classics, tell great stories of Rockets history and I am sure with that, Worrell will get his memory back :)

    Yesss, Just in time. Sometimes I fear Bill might murder Clyde on the air for his stupidity.
