That's really sad. Nessler's is ok but BILL WALTON.. I just don't get what they see in this guy! Sounds like NBC really didn't try hard to get good announcing teams.

It kind of like howard Cosell ... either you love hime or you hated him. Personnally Walton is a bit dramatic .. but he really knows the game and calls it as he sees it. I like him ... he gives the game a little excitement.... not to mention a few lines that make you go "huh". I also like Barkley .. he doesn't always think before he speaks .. but he makes it fun.
All that I have to say is: Where's The Snapper?........
Another reason to love NBA League Pass.
