$50 million per year for 5 years = freaking retarded

Quickest way to sink your franchise.

Not that anybody in this country gives a flying rat's azz about futbol anyhow.

The dude's getting more than A-Rod to play a sport that no one here will watch, and he's not even in the discussion of the world's greatest soccer players (at least that's what Eric C. said on ESPN Radio tonight - I don't really pay attention to skirtball)

Did you hear SportsBash is going away. Tomorrow is the last show, he's leaving to host some NASCAR show or something.

That freakin' sucks! His show is one of my favorites, along with Mike & Mike. Don't care for Colin and I hate Dan Patrick.

Cowherd is the f'ing man! Mike & Mike rock.

Sportsbash is my least favorite of the 4 shows.

What's going to replace Sports Bash?

Have to admit, I don't get much of a chance to listen to Cowherd. Maybe he just hasn't grown on me yet.

It took FOREVER for me to like Cowherd. I was sucha Tony K fan and when he left, I vowed to pretty much not even give Colin a chance. After about a year or so, I finally caught myself paying attention to the guy. He's funny, he's smart as hell, and he's arrogant. All of those are elements that make up a great 3 hours of radio.

I take it you live in a part of town with no Mexican immigrants.

The contract will be paid by the entire league and will be 50 million over five. The remaining 200 will be endorsement dollars.

What part of this town would that be?

Precisely my point.
