John Stevens, under the watchful eye of none other than Charles Haley.

The trio then pays homage to the legendary Bill Mercer, a titan in the realm of sports broadcasting and the original voice of both the Cowboys and the Texas Rangers. Mercer's iconic play-by-play style, honed over decades in the industry, is celebrated with anecdotes and memories that transport listeners back to a golden era of sports commentary.
