  • Painful

    I can’t stand these bozos. I dont know why Bradfo ever put them on. Not only do they not know much and don’t have any actual intelligent insights they are also painfully unfunny or interesting as people. If you want funny go to section 10 if you want smart insights go to soxprospects.
