Love Merrill Reese — legendary play-by-play guy for the Eagles. Perhaps matched only by the Flyers Gene Hart. Many Eagles fans will mute the TV announcers (esp. if it’s Collingsworth, Romo or Aiken) and listen to Reese instead.

The tricky part is getting the video and sound to match up. The radio is usually ahead of the video feed. While this was good, the best Merrill Reese call ever was the Miracle of The Meadowlands when Herm Edwards scooped up Joe Pisarcik's fumble and scored to win the game and put Dick Vermeil's Eagles in to the playoffs for the first time in 18 years:

"Under 30 seconds left of the game Pisarcik can just fall on the football and there is nothing the Eagles can do, and Pisarcik fumbles the football! It's picked up by Herman Edwards.
