Broken 16 381 Report post Posted January 5, 2011 He still cracks me up from time to time. Murphy is the one that needs work. The way he enunciates words is mind boggling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragonballgtz 273 Report post Posted January 5, 2011 Murphy was wasted even before the puck dropped today. I wonder what they gave him during the first intermission? He seemed to get better during the second period and coherent during the third. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CaliWingsNut Report post Posted January 5, 2011 I agree, Murph is much worse than John. Actually, I don't really have any problem w/ John. Call sam studio Mick is the worst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reedlarson 1 Report post Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Lets rank all the FS Red Wings guys. Here is my list: Mickey Redmond Ken Daniels Trevor Thompson Larry Murphy Mickey York John Keating "This is just a list, aren't you going to provide some sort of commentary or explanation about why you chose them in that order?" You want commentary? Um. . . its 2:00am. "So?" So!??!!? So. .. . I need to go to bed. I'm tired. I can't delay my sleep any longer just to give my post some actual depth and meaning.

irishtemper14+25 11 Report post Posted January 5, 2011 Did anyone else notice when they were talking about the retired numbers in edmonton and Murph said something along the lines of "Yea they had a lot of success here in Vancouver." Then they didn't even acknowledge or correct his statement. 3 Din758, Namingway and zoso reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kylee 727 Report post Posted January 5, 2011 Murphy was wasted even before the puck dropped today. I wonder what they gave him during the first intermission? He seemed to get better during the second period and coherent during the third. i think its been the last two road games in a row that Murphy has taken Redmond's place as the color guy, but he mentioned in two separate broadcasts how good the miller lite graphic looked for each game. Ken Daniels ignored him both times. im like, really Murph? hes just as bad if not worse than john keating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigWillieStyle 662 Report post Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Murphy and the looonnng pauses between words, or even sylables, drives me nuts. He's even worse on NHL on the Fly. It makes me want to smack him on the back and say spit it out Murph. Kind of like the stuttering kid you used to pick on, just without the stutter. I can only imagine I would have failed Grammar class if I would have had to diagram Murphy's sentences. Edited January 5, 2011 by BigWillieStyle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can only imagine I would have failed Grammar class if I would have had to diagram Murphy's sentences. I'm kind of blown away that he still has a job. When your profession requires you to speak coherently and hopefully even eloquently (not Shakespeare, but at least being able to flow through statements), and you talk like Murph, your days should be numbered.

When your profession requires you to speak coherently and hopefully even eloquently (not Shakespeare, but at least being able to flow through statements), and you talk like Murph, your days should be numbered. It's like that with all sports, they just get former players in to talk about a game which has vastly changed since the last time they played for one reason or another. Recipe for disaster.

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted January 5, 2011 Murph can be entertaining sometimes, but my God he can get annoying. It makes me mad, honestly, that people like Murphy, who can't speak correctly, can get and keep jobs while a lot of us who are qualified for various jobs can't get them. Can you imagine what it's going to be like when Redmond retires and Murph becomes Ken's full time partner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
