what happened to the YouTube post?
if I wanted to listen to negative ranting on fast Forward for an hour I would just get all of my commentary from Reddit. turned it off of the 10-minute mark, why the heck would anyone listen to this for the entire podcast.
I feel like an accessory to murder with all the 'ax'ing' going on in the last podcast. Holmes is one of the most articulate sports broadcasters around & NBC chose this over him...smh.
