Does dude doing the play-by-play on @WElite8 on ABC think he's on the radio? Can he breathe a little more so the women can add the insight that makes it interesting? ESPN is so much better
“The cost of apathy is life, but the price of life is as small as an act of kindness. I am a life preserved by the kindness that was offered to me by others when I could not produce kindness for myself.” Harry Miller @h_miller76
