I love the sports nerd level, Pietragallo’s research, calm demeanor and brutal observations delivered waaay better than Skip Bayless ever could 🤣. As the most wonderful bonus, Whisman delivers the most beautiful, hilarious ignorance as cohost Andrew Jackson. If you don’t appreciate this; (semicolon James!!) you don’t deserve the phenomenon that is the Crime in Sports Movement, live from the Crime in Sports Studio. 🫶🤘💪
