Yeah that was excellent. Lebatard isn't a moron. I've always enjoyed his takes on sports related issues and social developments. He's about the only one that actually has his own individual, unique thought. Him and Bomani are very solid.

I love LeBatard, but I can't stand that asshat Stu Gotz that is on his show with him.

You have to view him as the lovable moron and also remember that he's there as basically a stand-in for every gas bag radio host who spews hot takes with impunity despite being ill- or misinformed. Stugotz definitely has a lot of that in him, but his character on the show obviously takes it to another level.E.H.

Yeah. I mean I don't hate him enough to stop listening, but that is more because of Lebatard.

Yep and I enjoy having a gasbag next to Lebatard. Great Foil. Lebatard calls him out every-time he starts drifting into a shallow, pointless hot-take or wandering into a worthless sports radio narrative that everyone else has been spewing for literally no reason. Stu Gotz alone would be god awful.

Re: The downfall of ESPN continues...
Before the show went national there would be days when LeBatard was doing his TV show or PTI and so the first hour of the show would be just Stugotz. It was unlistenable.jwfocker wrote:E.H.

I just saw a commercial on ESPN referring to McCutcheon as "Cutch". Is that an actual nickname or are they trying to make that stick?!
