Just curious I have not listened to finebaum in 2 years. What is the world can he talk about now.

The XFL was supposed to have enough money for two years no matter what...I'm not sure anyone saw this coming when that was stated...

I remember reading/hearing the same.

Finebaum has lost his stir stick.

Yep. The Stand.

Never read the Stand, but I am currently reading the Dark Tower Book 4

The difference between the XFL and AAF is that the XFL is capable of surviving due to Vince McMahon's money as long as he wants. The only worrisome thing is if WWE takes an insane hit because of no crowds will he pull the plug.

After watching both IndyCar and Nascar in the iRace game format, we might end up with a huge Madden Tournament in the Fall. Not that I want that to be a possibility. Virtual Nascar is actually kind of fun to watch because the commentators dont take themselves too seriously and it's at least entertaining.

I have never listened to him, but if it is anything like what Atlanta sports stations are talking about, he is discussing how there is nothing to talk about.

Good news. All signs point to the full return of sports this fall. Will be a crazy amount of sports with the NBA finishing their season and the start of CFB and the NFL. Can't wait..

3 Man Front has become my favorite of the shows on WJOX. They get quite a few good guests and they work well together. When it first started, I was worried their might be an auburn lean but that’s not the case. Cole Cubelic calls it like he sees it for sure.

That being said, The Round Table struggles to talk sports for 4 hours in the middle of SEC football so they definitely have issues. I find often that Dunnaway and Brown almost interview Lance Taylor almost as he’s some kind of authority. lol. The “Jimmy the Greek” of Birmingham with his gambling advice.

I hope you are correct, but it is still pure speculation at this point.

If sports ever comes back, we could have all of them on at the same time. Is there enough channels to cover all of this?

Yes, without leaving the disney tree.

Yes, without leaving the disney tree.

Maybe it is my cynical nature, but I have a feeling we will see some pay per view sports so they can make up for lost money.

As long as they don't do that with football, I'll be fine.

On the way in this morning, this was being discussed on the Round Table WJOX. LT seems to think the attendance will be hurt due to this taking place during football season. LOL The toughest ticket in sports will probably do ok. LT, stay on the couch sipping Natty Seltzer and watch Buffalo vs. Cleveland.
