The Palace

Random thought on a random night: Anyone else miss the Palace? Who knows when live, attended sports or concerts might actually return, but when I find myself reminiscing back to live events I have attended in the past, I often think back to trips I made to the Palace. I just really enjoyed that buil...

Re: Best/worst announcers of all time.

I think the worst color commentator of all time was Dennis Miller when he was on MNF from 2000-2001. He was pretty much panned for his unfunny jokes and was let go after one season. Two seasons, I believe. Miller, and Dan Fouts, were Al Michaels’ sidekicks in the booth for both 2000 and 2001, befor...

Re: Will history repeat itself? (Network switch)

Gee, do you think anything is possible? Considering you’ve said it 4 times in this thread, I’m going to go out in a limb and say that you do. Okay, on that basis, the DuMont Television Network wills itself back into existence 63 years after going bankrupt. They purchase channel 4, and force NBC onto...

Re: Arrow And Good Place Series Finales

I watched the first season of The Good Place, thought it was pretty stupid. Now it seems like every critic and everyone on social media loves the show. Not sure if it got better, or maybe it was just never my cup of tea.

I have a love/hate thing with Fellhauer. He is actually full of knowledge about the past of the show and current pop culture. I think he really helps carry the show. But at times he can be so damn condescending. I'll never forget the time Charlie Leduff put him in his place on the podcast. Overall ...

Re: What happened to Maz on the DMP?

I love Maz on the DMP. His 60s references, pop culture stuff, etc., are a hoot. He's the perfect fall guy when things go wrong. Drew should bring him back. He's the perfect comic foil. I feel like Maz is both the most beloved and most disliked person on the show. There does not seem to be much in b...

Re: What happened to Maz on the DMP?

I actually liked Tom on Drew's podcast, the Tuesday show was usually my favorite of the week. I'll still listen but something about that guy made the show fun. I completely agree. Tom was easily my favorite non-Drew person on the show. He always cracked me up, love his Frank Beckmann stories. The T...

Re: Hockey Night In Canada Apologizes For Don Cherry's Racist Rant

Did Don simply say that he wishes more immigrants wore poppies? Forgive me, I haven’t seen an exact quote. I don’t find that particularly xenophobic or racist. It’s an old guy wishing the new generation was more appreciative of prior sacrifices. I’m sure many people are supportive of veterans withou...

I totally agree! Bernie is the worst. Jamie is so much more pleasant to watch.

My preference is when Steve Garagiola covers the sports shift.

Re: Newest Jeopardy! Uberchampion

Much to my surprise, channel 4 was airing a Jeopardy repeat at 12:30 this afternoon. It seems like they’ve been mostly airing infomercials at 12:30 for years now. Also much to my surprise, the episode featured Jeopardy James. Typically, I believe the 12:30 Jeopardy (for the decade channel 4 aired th...
