Holy crap, I don't know if I've just missed it or if it's a new commercial (or the stream just started airing it), but the drinky read for happy socks is certainly as bad as ANY mock sports minute. In fact, if I were Mr. FMT I would be having a discussion with drinky about doing his sports minutes in the same style as his commercials.

Abbatacola has slowly pigeon holed himself into a pretty tight spot - if he's not mocking callers he is speaking in ultra-ironic tones. If he's not doing either of those, he's gushing about the gushing over his sports minutes. It's too bad, he used to be pretty funny and likable dude.

Indeed. And his constant fake ignorance on what Terry and Dan may mention-particularly in random pop culture references- is quite tiresome, very infrequently amusing. If it's to unearth a by cracky from Boers I guess there's a point to it, but simply faking stupidity for the sake of fake stupidity is odd, and not really funny.

Oh, don't forget his HILARIOUS mentioning of an article that Dan JUST read.....with the hilarious "yah, we just read that" response from Dan! Great stuff, drinky.

Yeah. Everything he does is weird, stupid, unfunny or all of the above. I don't get it. He's also always in "ass clown" mode for some reason.

Sad to hear. I used to like listening to him.

It's gotten worse since Goff's departure.

I think the drink misses the Goffer very much. Think about it. That was his partner in crime for years. Those two were alway scheming and plotting against their media enemies - Score people or otherwise. They were co conspirators on sabotage ideas and attempts. These Bernstein soldiers worked tireless hours trying to assassinate me (To this very day, I check under my car every morning because of these two scrappers). Each one provided the other a shoulder to cry on when things didn't go their way at the Score. Now drink is all alone in the "good fight". Maybe that's why he's acting up more. Cuz he's all alone now.

Drinky should learn from the kid at the Score.

Look at how Connor does it. Does the updates well, minus his few malaprops. But they are clean, concise reads for the most part. He's not a smart ass while reporting, doing updates or hosting a show. When he does reads for paying sponsors, he doesn't behave like a clown which diverts attention from the message (Like Howard said, I'll bet those sponsors love that). He takes B&B's shit pretty well. He just smiles and moves on to the next update. Doesn't want to roll around in the mud with them. He's not looking to start Score wars all the time. Doesn't tell you who he hates. He doesn't cry about how he's been wronged. Bosses like these type of guys better. Especially from guys who haven't made it yet. Just sayin'.

If I hear drinky utter the phrase "Love me some happy socks" one more time today, I am going to think about this post and how I probably should have written something like "I am going to kill myself" before I realized that I wouldn't actually do that and no one really would have taken me seriously and then I'll continue to listen quietly.

But, I'm not going to be happy about it.
