    This should pave the way for Cynthia Cooper.

    Hot dog!

    I doubt he'll be back this year at all. The Rockets will need to hire a full time replacement since they don't know for sure that Murphy's not going to the slammer.

    I dont care what Calvin did. He didn't kill anybody.
    Look at RKelly, no one fired him.

    Come on, you can't be serious. If Calvin did this stuff, then he should go to jail, Period.

    I always liked Calvin as a broadcaster. He brought a lot to the games. Seemed like a great guy on tv, too.

    These are serious allegations brought by more than one person. I'll be following the trial for sure. I pray they aren't true, but I can see the Rockets' point of view in the matter. Child molestation is a monstrous crime no one wants to be associated with.

    Let's just hope this all turns out to be *only* a horrible injustice against Calvin.

    In my best Calvin Murphy voice:

    "Now that's unfortunate Bill."

    As irritating as he can be, I hope he gets to come back soon.

    He's 100% serious. And he's not alone in his beliefs.

    Personally, I hope Calvin is innocent. If not, I hope his punishment is a long life of prison rape.

    Why would anybody expect Le$ to support a lifetime Rocket?
