  • Good Show

    I was not a fan of Breakfast Ball, but wanted to give Craig another shot. This show is much better and Craig has really good chemistry with Tyrone.

  • Loudmouth New Yorker

    Generally like the show, Schlereth and Danny are great! However, is it mandatory to have someone on the show that is loudmouth New Yorker who just blathers on about his favorite teams. Craig may be the nicest guy in the world, but I can’t stand his NY bias.
