  • Very good

    I’m warming up to Jacoby. I think it might the east coast/NYC aggressive vibe I’m getting used to. I do think from a purely audio pleasure standpoint, it seems like they need a more calming force. Both their voices are sorta sharp - it becomes a hard listen for me.

  • The worst elements of sports media

    I’m just really happy that Bill shoved his two worst employees onto the same show so we could all ignore them. Getting Verrier away from Verno was a great decision even if he now has to deal with Woz’s pontificating.

    I’m warming up to Jacoby. I think it might the east coast/NYC aggressive vibe I’m getting used to. I stuck with it for Verno and look forward to enjoying Jacoby more as time passes.
