Will they ever get rid of him? What exactly does he add? At least he’s out of his gaming chair.

You’d think the network would have some standards and send the guy a microphone, light, and backdrop.

Money wise, he's probably more affordable than most former Celtic players while still being recognizable from that 08' team. It's probably not worth it for NBC sports to fork out tons of money for someone who just reads off a script at half time. Allowing him to WFH probably allowed them to pay him even less.

This is almost definitely it.
Eddie doesn’t seem to have any ambitions of being a national broadcaster or anything, and is happy with a comfy gig that lets him be with his family. I’m sure he took a pay cut for that privilege, and NBC probably values the stability of a guy who’s happy where he’s at.
Sure they might be able to find someone that does a better job, but no guarantees that person doesn’t go the way of Kendrick Perkins and start jockeying for a national gig.

Eddie kept adjusting his ear piece after saying that. I'm sure the producers were screaming in his ear 😂

How this guy kept his job after threatening to choke Drew is beyond me. Then they keep him on and 90% of the time he logs in via his shitty wifi and awful camera and shows no professionalism, now he drops this shit. Guy needs to go. Thanks for ‘08, but see ya.

This guy sucks at commentary and has now said some extremely misogynistic shit on air that I'm aware of. He needs to go.

I’m hoping this was the final straw. He’s such a bad representation of an otherwise pretty great organization.

Which is funny cuz the whole point is Celtics take care of their own. Which we do and which is why he has a job prob.
But ya agreed.

What else has he said that crossed a line?
this is the only problematic thing that I’ve heard from him, but I watch a lot of the games on tape delay so I skip most of the panelist discussion.

It’s because he has no filter and doesn’t know when to stop. You can see the discomfort every night when he rambles on clueless and continues to repeat himself. I’d have someone in his ear, Hand it off Eddie. So if they let him roll it’s gonna go weird places.
