Since Ryan mentioned all sports, we can mention Matt Millen, right?

I don't know where MLB Network dug up this clown Christopher Russo, but they need to send him back. What a spastic [expletive].

He has a siriusxm channel named after him. He's been on MLB network all year.

 

He's national. For a sports talk radio guy he is about as big as you can get.

I know, I was just teasing you because my New York friends are obsessed with both of those guys and can't believe that I don't listen to them.

 

Still, "incredibly famous" is a stretch.

I'm stuck in Iowa, and even I've known who Christopher Russo is for quite a while. Then again, it's probably because goony brought him up here or something stupid like that.

[XZero771679666304]

Sports talk radio has been dead to me for a decade plus because I felt like it was predominantly ignorant, meatball-y, bombastic blowhards, so it makes sense that I wasn't familiar. And if Russo is popular enough to have his own radio channel, I think my assessment was probably right.

no argument here

maybe the way it's originally framed is stupid (in asking "should they do this"), but all he's really doing is saying mike trout is so amazing and his contract is so amazing that it totally makes up for two awful contracts in hamilton and pujols, which is actually sort of amazing. i mean it's obvious that trout is awesome but those two contracts are disastrous already and he still manages to more than make up for them.

But everybody who knows anything about baseball knows that guys in their first six years subsidize the established veterans. That wasn't an amazing discovery.
