  • Sui Generis, No Other Show Like It

    This is what I look forward to every Saturday, there’s nothing else like it, I’ve looked up to LaVar and TJ since they were blocking FGs against PITT and scoring TDs against ND in the Fiesta Bowl and Plaxico is great as well, NOBODY, even other former pros, give the insight that these guys do every Saturday, I hope you guys keep this show going for a long, long time

    LaVar, bring back “Conversations with a Legend,” and have Greg Lloyd back on as the first episode when it returns

  • Hate

    You claim hate is at an all time high. Maybe read a history book you moron. You think the world is more hateful than 1950 or how about 1850? The world has never been more accepting than it has today.
