"That's what you call ATTITUDE!" Haha classic Murphy quotes, he was funny as hell. "DID YOU SEE WHAT I JUST SAW" Bill - Woooooooo!
I always felt he should at least move to the radio, it made sense. Hopefully he is back alongside Worrell though. But man... he will be rubbing Brook's ego all the time if he is that close. Brook's will think he is Chris Paul.
More Calvin... <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/H9pLUvX80Ak&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/H9pLUvX80Ak&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
That's fantastic. I can just imagine it now: Bill Worrell: Hey Bud. Matt Bullard: Let's Party! Calvin Murphy: What the F*** are you guys talking about?!!
Nice !!! I think it's a possibility Drexler will be gone after the year because he wanted to go coach. However, he said specifically he wanted to coach ONE DAY and I highly doubt Leslie wants Calvin back as a commentator since he has fired him twice now. Though maybe, just maybe, he has watched Clyde on TV and thought: "This guy is turrible". I hope it is Drexler moving up because his remarks though funny add nothing to the game. He never gives any insight on what's going on, which is what he is there for !! Bullard at least knows what he's talking about and I love how he goes after the refs from time to time. How can you guys as Rockets fans not appreciate that ?? All the b****ing about refs and then when some1, a broadcaster for crying out loud, goes after them you do not like it ?? The Rockets are blatantly on the wrong end of a rigged game or terrible called game so let Bull alone. When he sees red, he goes after it. If it is Drexler he is replacing, wouldn't it be great to have Drexler, Bill & Calvin to do home games for the rest of the season ?? I can picture a conversation going like this near the end of the 3rd being down by double digits: (Drexler - Calvin - Bill sitting like this) Calvin We need some more energy and intensity out there Bill !! Drexler (interrupts): Another great night for the Houston Rockets Calvin Clyde, what are you talking about ? The Rockets are playing with no sense of urgency. We need some1 to fire these guys up, Brooks needs to show his leadership and step up. [Takes off his headset, yells Brooks to come over while screaming in Clyde's ear and tells AB in street, pimp lingo what to do] Drexler Uhuhuhhu - his trademark laugh -......Calvin Murphy ladies and gentlemen Bill I agree with you there Calvin, it seems like with Yao out, Tracy out, Artest gone that nobody is willing to step up. It's time.. Drexler (interrupts again) It's time for the Rockets to score some points Bill. In the end, all that matters who's got the most points on the scoreboard. Calvin Damn right but how do you suggest they do that ?? Down 12 points with 1:05 left in the 3rd.... Drexler (interrupts again) That's the great thing about the game. On any given night, anything can happen and it's a beautiful thing, Bill Bill uhhmm yeah..... [silence for a few secs with Drexler looking nervous, Bill flabbergasted and Calvin shocked, until Landry dunks it home] Calvin OW MY, DID YOU SEE THAT BILL ?? NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL INTENSITY, MY YOUNG BROTHA !! HAHA !! GOING UP FOR THE DUNK ALL THE WAY FROM THE FT LINE. NOW LET'S FEED OFF THAT Bill Woho, CARL LANDRY..... Drexler (Bill wants to say something else but again Drexler interrupts) uhuhuhuh - trademark laugh - from the FT line Calvin ? Are you kidding me ?? [actually in excitement but Calvin takes it the wrong way thinking Clyde's disrespecting] Calvin Look Clyde, I know you threw down some dunks in the past but nothing like this here YOUNG FELLA !! He took off from the FT line, THAT'S FACT BROTHA !! HAHA Bill He sure did Drexler (trying to contain his anger and frustration) Carl Landry should be able to do that everytime. It's like clubbin baby seals Calvin CLUBBIN BABY SEALS ?? [standing up] what are you talking about. Is guy even a commentator ?? Bill (Bill with a big smile on his face) He sure is Calvin Drexler Exactly, like clubbing baby seals because it's just so easy, uhuhuhu - trademark laugh - just like you used to do Calvin [sarcastic] CALVIN GOES CRAZY, TAKES OFF HIS PURPLE SUIT, THROWS IT TO BILL AND KNOCKS CLYDE THE F*** OUT, while the camera shows everything and Clyde was doing his - trademark laugh - uhuhuhuh again !! End of 3rd quarter
Rockets Jones that was awesome!! I would love to have Calvin back if it means Drexler is gone. I really like the chemistry between Bill and Calvin. I can understand people not liking the antics or the cookies or whatever, but personally I didn't mind it. I thought Calvin delivered when it was needed most. Still like Bull, he and Bill work well together, hopefully he's still there for road games

He had his own radio show for 3 years, I highly doubt he'll move back to a radio gig. He also mentioned that he will be doing spotty radio work, as in going out to scheduled events & making cameos on his show to share info on the Rockets. Therefore he will still be somewhat commited to his former show here and there.
What Calvin's ESPN show is getting canned? That sucks, I haven't listened in a few weeks but, I really enjoyed hearing him on the radio on the afternoon drive.
From what Dave said yesterday, the Blitz will be extended to being 1-4 pm and Put up your Dukes will be extended to being 4-7 pm with Dave and Julie joining Dukes to co host from 5-7 pm, from what they say. So yeah, no more C Murph show. It really was pretty entertaining.
