Portnoy is a slob.
Demond Williams needs to play a different position.
Dick Fain, "we want fans to be upset." I'm upset Dick, so much so that I'm done being a Husky fan. If they go on to win a NC, good but I can't live life being a hypocrite. NCAA just became MLB and I won't be watching either. The rich will get the best players and teams and that disgusts me.
It's true Hate the game because right now I do. The Huskies though don't make me feel good by letting AD's and Coaches get away or being fired.
College Football is now Major League Baseball, I don't watch MLB so...
I don't care what anyone says Fuck Kalen DeBoer!
I got NO time for the Mariners.
F*ck this show. If Hugh can't make his point because coach Baird gets upset then f'it I'm done on the radio and this podcast.
volume level sucks.
Sick spased out too much for me to keep listening. Dick Fain = Don Knotts
I used to like listening to the Honks but its just bullish!t now.
Softy took a little Adderall today.
Dick Fain sucks.
Tired of Dick's overreactions to non amazing plays and players.
