no but I'm dead serious about CBS
their tv shows are offensive. They have 12 different cop shows. TWELVE. Not to mention 2.5 men which is a crime against humanity.
And they just gave fred durst a sitcom.

He is truly awful
Him and Nantz are extremely boring to listen to. They’re worse than Buck/Aikman, which is very hard to do.
What's that about?
I can't stand Buck and Aikman's a moron.
Simms is worse than both Buck and Aikman but I can tolerate Nantz.

I'd like to say I expressed this opinion once and was shot down by some Giants fans in here
but he is absolutely the worst. They have a good pre-game show, probably the best, but Phil Simms makes me want to watch on mute.

I would be disappointed if Murphy and Ike combined for 5 WAR
The were nearly worth five WAR combined in 2011 with Ike missing most of the year.
I'd be surprised if Ike wasn't worth 5 war on his own
The other stuff will happen too. I said it would, so it’s true.

does Collins insist on bunting base stealers over like Manuel? Cause no amount of allegiance to a team will allow me to watch that for 162 games again.

He got a little bunt happy as the season went on

I think that he bunted a lot in April
then eased up through most of the season. But when September hit, Terry fell off the wagon and started up with Buntapalooza™.

yeah you absolutely have to watch the first two seasons
and because I’m 100% dedicated to not paying for anything ever here’s a download link for all the episodes in the first two seasons.
