Loss Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 I just wanted to start a thread about this. I see from Google that it looks like episode 100 was on 9/24/04, so I'm guessing this started around 2002. Is that correct? What kind of stuff was featured here that might be hard to find elsewhere? What stands out about this show to anyone who watched it? I'm interested in learning more, so feel free to discuss whatever you want about it in this thread.

anotherspammer Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I got the show somehwat regularly for awhile. It could be frustrating, with one episode showing a good deal of matches and the next episode just a few minutes of clipped finishes and that frog interviewing somebody the whole time.
