  1. Craig M what on earth are you talking about? Clearly you’ve never seen these shows. Personally I can’t wait for the final installment of “Yesterday’s Heroes” but I’m sure you have no idea what that is. Maybe you should take a look at them before forming an opinion.

  4. Speaking for myself, I think it’s sad Fox Sports would even think I’d so much as
    contemplate watching has beens from Commercial Telly and others who probably couldn’t get a job there in the first place.
