Do Larry Merchant, Jim Lamplee read sumthing in Backgrounds when They speak?

[j]

reading something in the backround, you mean like a teleprompter or cue cards? wouldn't surprise me, at least for the intros.

but merchant hitting the henney? i always thought of himself as a jd old # 7 kind of guy. maybe a jack and coke kinda guy.

also keep in mind that they are responding to the action in the ring...emotions and whatnot WILL come into play...

just think back to you watching a fight with someone...you may be explaining a particular fighter to that person or a fact about the match they may not know...then while you are explaining :::BOOM::: someone goes down and you abruptly pause and say "whooooooo! oooo damn look at that! get up! get up!"

your emotions will always come into play

If you go to the HBO website, they have bio's on Lampley and Merchant. Both are very accomplished sport article writers. Lampley had great commentary background. You should read it, it's very nice to know some of hte background of the people that call the show every time. As for reading words off a screen, I believe they do or are given cues, not to mention they have ear pieces on which tell them a lot of stuff. A lot of time after Jim asks Merchant a question, you see Jim looking off abit as he's hearing what's in his ear piece while Merchant distracts with his usual BS.
