    Just remember that you were happy before you read this thread. If you like being happy, stop reading this thread now. You were warned! :)

    <HR>

    A source very close to the organization is saying that the Rockets are planning to go into the season without Calvin Murphy and instead going with surprisingly not Matt Bullard, but… drumroll, please: CYNTHIA COOPER.

    Yes, the halftime show disaster is now spilling over in to play-by-play color work. How Bullard was passed up is anyone’s guess. This will be a front page story shortly.

    I’ve never been so happy to get road broadcasts on the NBA package in my life.

    Worrell was always tolerable because Murphy and he had good chemistry.

    Worrell and Cooper together ....................*ouch*

    This is not only the worst decision the Rockets have ever made, this is one of the worst decisions in the history of the universe!

    I always hated League Pass for not having many Bill and Calvin broadcasts, but I will hate no more!

    <memo>
    Attn: Rockets Brass

    Just because someone is a Rockets or Comets former player does not make them a good choice for game commentator.

    Thank you,

    Rockets Fans


    PS: Don't say you didn't get the memo.</memo>

    Hopefully it won't be to long and either Calvin or the Bull can take over.

    I won't be able to stand hearing her for a whole season.

    This must be a "dues paid" kind of issue for the Rockets. She is definitely a "turn down the sound & turn up the radio" event waiting to happen.

    I'd rather listen to Gene Petersen anyway.

    I'm definitely not gonna be able to listen to her stutter through the games. No offense, she's just not any good when she has time to prepare in the studio. How much worse will it be when she has to talk on the fly?

    That's a way to discourage TV Rox fans and put more butt in seats.
    Shrewd Rockets ;)

    Hopefully addign T-Mac has made the Rockets popular enought that we will have more nationally televised games this year. Just as long as it isn't Marv and the Tsar. That's about the only thing that could be worse.

    I'd even rather listen to Tom Troll-butt than Coop.

    I dont necessarily think them hiring Coop is a bad thing. It just means that we alllllllllll have a chance to be color analyst next year. lol

    CC is horrible on the broadcasts ... Bullard would be a much better choice

    Who do I write to make sure that League Pass goes with the other teams' duo?
