  • This team does their homework

    I love the cast and have been following religiously. Stuff they talk about has always been about believing they are talking all truths since most of their esoteric knowledge would be unverifiable for someone like me unless i rely purely on the internet. The YE Yang story, however, I know well since I am Korean and they nailed it. All objective truths combined with a broad unbiased narrative. So I salute your team and give you fill credibility on your work. Looking forward to the next sliver of k... more

  • Nattering nabobs of negativism

    The guy argues that the media and players don't have to be enemies and yet in the same podcast demonstrates exactly why the media is so often hated and wrong. Colin, he is on your case for not speaking detractors directly, but didn't they start it by so cowardly criticizing you in the first place? Does anyone on earth like Brandel Chamblee? Stand your ground, pal. Don't let the schmucks get you down.
