The live commentary of the EPT is still featuring professional Jason Mercier. Mercier and the other commentators have been reading some emails once in a while from fans of the broadcast.
One of the latest emails discussed the issue of calling the clock and the incident between Marc Goodwin and Santiago Terrazas. The author of the email mentioned that if he knew someone became irritated from having the clock called on them, he or she would call the clock every time in an effort to tilt the player.
Mercier commented in response, "If you called the clock every time, you'd be consider a d******e bag and probably be shot in the parking lot outside."
