  • Impossible To Listen to This Guy

    Listening to Byk completely incapable of communicating a thought without long pauses and hems and haws should seriously be employed by the military in lieu of water boarding. He destroys his own show. Learn to speak for God sake, you are horrrible. Pure torture.

  • Monday lineup

    What has happened to Monday’s with Rich Migliore? He provides great insight from a rider’s perspective. I’m not interested in handicapping, so he is a principal reason for me to listen.
