Hey Scruffy, didja hear CJME is going 10 hours with gameday coverage. 10 hours?! What a joke! Talk about overkill. I thought the pre-game show for the Super Bowl was bad, but that is the biggest game of the year.

Didn't Rod Smith do some play-by-play last season? He wasn't bad. Why not put Black as host of the show and move Smith into a p x p role.
