Sports with Bob McFlurry
In case you didn’t know Bob Salmi is out as the color commentator fo rhe 76ers after only one season. I’ve got nothing against Bob Salmi, he’s great on Sixers Post Game Live but just didn’t mesh as well as the Sixers management had hoped. Previous to the 2008-2009 season Steve Mix’s contract was not renewed and he was subsequently replaced by Salmi.
I’m here making an impassioned plee to please get Steve Mix back in front of a microphone and teaming with Zumoff. Zumoff is at his best when paired with Mix. There was a noticable lack of cohesion this year and bringing back Mix would solve that problem immediately. They really effortlessly play off of each other and you can genuinely tell they like and respect each other.
I know Mix can be somewhat critical of the Sixers and officiating sometimes but you must take the good wiht the bad. I’m fine with him bashing the Sixer s a little, I do it all the time when I’m watching them. If they are playing sloppy or a player is continuing to make dumb plays mix calls them out on it. Maybe not what the Sixers want but I like to hear an honest voice in the broadcast booth.
It would be as dumb as signing Sam Dalembert to a contract extension if they did not regain Mix as their voice of reason in the booth.
