Ban?

Merrill Reese is light years past his prime, if he ever had a prime. He single-handedly ruined all the important calls in the 2017 season and playoff run by not being able to identify who was on the field and who was involved in the play. Completely butchered them all. Thanks god we have Kevin Harlan's Super Bowl call.

I know I am in the minority, but I thought he added no insight to the game and grated on me. All he did was mention what College the players went to repeatedly (as an Australian I don't get why people care), and just spent the whole game trying to fit in as many of his boring catch phrases as possible.

Ban confirmed.

Who gives a **** about insight from a play by play guy? Talk about missing the point.

Not only is it untrue, it's blasphemous.

That's literally his job...announcing the game. Zu is a legend.

I'm sorry, but with these two, it's non stop chattering and laughing, and they just aren't that interesting or funny. Just throttle it back and call the damn game. It's TV, there doesn't have to be chatter every second.

Women do not have the right voice to call games. I would rather have that Charlotte guy yelling and hyperventilating. This is ruined for me now.

She would be 100% better without the shouting and attempts at being 'hip' with lingo and nicknames. Problem is, that's the way virtually all young broadcasters are now, men and women.. Subtlety and actually letting a game breathe are relics of the past.

She is good for radio, not for TV.

The network wont look good by replacing Kate Scott, so Im guessing Alaa is the next one who’s gonna get replaced.

I’d prefer a recent (lates 90s to early 2000) ex-sixer to cover games.

You and me both. When Kate gets excited the abrasive meter goes into the red.
