  • Great Show Celebrating a Criminal

    Cocaine QB is fascinating theatre. But, ignoring the dark side of who got hurt while treating Hanson like a celebrity speaks volumes of where we are as a society. Never mind the way he speaks of women, female traffic particularly those from Latin America Sure, he served his time, but does he deserve the respect and adulation Matt and Jerry showered him with? Now, they fan boi over an admitted MLB PED user. Any shame whatsoever?
