Rappaport got slammed for that comment, but it takes away from decent sports discussion. Not on the show today, much better.


The problem is that you are relying on HQ for decent sports discussions. The show is whimsical and amusing. There are many other platforms if you want serious sports talk.

I’m a huge fan of “popi”.

Dan is funny. I DVR HQ everyday. When they start their political shite, I just fast forward to the next question.

He serves no purpose whatsoever. But the show still sucks with or without him.

Don’t understand how that can’t be construde as racially insensitive when he is laughed at and mocked for his English. If he was on FOX the LIBS would be up in arms.

I love papi. Dude was an engineer in cuba and came to america to give his kids a piece of the american dream. Now lebatard is repaying the favor by giving his dad some celebrity late in life. And Papi was a plant manager here, baws.

Frick all you american hating communists shitting on papi.

No, he is great. But then again, I'm not a Trump voter, so an accent does not offend me.

As long as they don’t talk politics the Lebatard show is the best radio show on the ESPN lineup by far

You have to listen to it often to understand the subtle inside jokes that the show pulls out

If this is what you're expecting from LeBatard, then it's true, "You don't get the show."

I enjoy the radio show in short exposures, too much and it wears on me.

The issue is they are so committed to satire and parody of a blow hard sports radio show that their premise doesn't really allow them to actually talk about sports or issues seriously without getting on a soapbox to differentiate between "regular jokes show today" vs "listen up everyone this is serious"

So they latch onto something and then run shite into the ground constantly filling up air time.

Stugots is a national treasure, but his character can be so one note they cant help but take his good jokes and grind them into dust. The "Maury" bit was a recent example of this.

That's one of the worst shows on television. I watched it once and haven't thought about it since reading this thread. Awful show.
