  • Love the show

    Love the college coverage. The only problem is just cause your broadcasting a matchup doesn’t mean you can’t have an opinion on who wins. I think it’s the weakest take in the business.

  • Who’s Andrew?

    Not sure who Andrew is either. I plead AutoCorrect. But I can assure Mr. Kane that the the Alex & David team has many fans as they have become the Laurel & Hardy, Burns & Allen, perhaps Butch & Sundance of our time.
