@EditorOfTheDailyFaberian: Exactly, if I were Von Hayes - ironic that mr. soccer fan didn't pick Eric Wynalda or Alexi Lalas for his name - I wouldn't get so worked up about people not liking their sport. It is like a good beer. I like Stella, you may think it sucks. I don't give a shit what you think because I like what I like.

Soccer fans have a chip on their should and actually a superiority complex. I don't like their sport, I think it sucks. Rome doesn't like their sport, it is funny when he rips on it just like when he used to rip on NASCAR before he sold out.

@Von Hayes: I don't need to "bring the smack," Soccer sucks in its own right. If it was a cool sport, more people would go to the games and watch it. MLS is a joke and nobody goes to the games because it is boring. You weren't wrong all these years, you probably liked soccer because all the good athletes played the fun sports...football, basketball, baseball....that thinned the competition.

When he's doing interviews, he should repeat the names of the people he's interviewing more frequently. Until then, DISAPPROVE.

A very enthusiastic... eh. Most Friday mornings I drive around for a couple hours as part of work and will listen to him. A handful of really funny callers with the rest being just plain awful. He himself never really brings much as far as sports talk or "takes", but he does get a good interview out of guests.
