  • Despite Michael K.

    I always look forward to Tony’s takes on all sports, especially football. The person I can’t stand is his son Michael. What a know it all, especially about golf, gardening, cooking, the Nats etc. At least he knows zilch about music! Nigel is quite likable but Michael never stops talking and gently needling his Dad, it’s quite irritating to me, anyway. Michael go on vacation, please!🙏

  • Conversation interruptus

    While i will always enjoy Tony and his great storytelling, a major drawback is his son’s constant interruptions with either meaningless minor corrections or somehow relating the story to either him or the grandkids. It totally interrupts the flow of the story, and by extension, the flow of the whole show. Unlike some of the unlistenable guests, like Wilbon or Chuck Todd, you can’t skip forward, because Michael is always there, disrupting and annoying us. Best shows are when Michael is on vacatio... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

“Tales from the CVS”
Q: Does Murphy get together with his team and say, this is our strategy, Rasmussen has been great, we're going to limit his ability to last in this game?
Olney says the team does not plan specifically to foul off pitches; its roster is built around players who compete through long at-bats, wear down pitchers and hit the ball the other way.
“Tales from the CVS”
Q: Do you agree or disagree that the Chicago Bears are the best team in the NFL right now?
Wilbon says San Francisco would still rank first for him, but agrees the Bears are good and wants to see how they perform against Seattle.
“We are Muppets”
Q: Maryland fired Mike Locksley. No one is going to defend Mike Locksley's record. It's terrible. He doesn't win any games in the Big Ten. I was surprised that Maryland fired him in the middle of the season. Were you?
La Canfora says he was not surprised, but describes Maryland as a challenging job and argues the school needs a careful coaching search and realistic expectations.
“We are Muppets”
Q: Is there in fact a controversy over the medical treatment of Jalen Hurts, or is this just internet people screaming?
La Canfora says the matter deserves more scrutiny and questions whether the league investigated it adequately. He also raises broader concerns about player medical care, injuries, and the demands of international travel.
“Parade Day!”
Q: What is your overall impression of the World Series?
Feinsand says the Brewers were the best team in baseball all year, with strong starting pitching, an effective bullpen, and few weaknesses during their postseason run.
