    Dave I’m glad you feel better but you’re still off your game. You’re making a fool of yourself with your negativity and inane comments. You have got to buck up!

  • Sick House

    David it’s tough you were sick but you made some stupid comments which make me wonder whether you’re really watching the game or napping due to illness. I’ll take a break and try you in two weeks to see if you’ve pulled your head out.

  • Great inside info!

    Love the info on this podcast. However DV can be such a condescending jerk to callers. Tim Cates is a much better host. Dial the ego back a touch DV and this podcast will go from good to great!
