Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 45 ratings
  • Too negative, too many ad reads

    I’m a pessimistic Giants fan but Pat is unbearable. Everything he says is through the most negative prism. I get it, they’re a joke, but it pays to be fair too.

I like the elephants that we got now, and we got some on both sides of the ball, and they're big. They're massive, they're strong, they seem to want to play.
