Chris: With all due respect and you have my respect and appreciation for how informative and enjoyable this message board is, but geez. Regardless of how unpopular and politically incorrect it is to say this on this webpage I have to say that your Fawcast today was painful. There wasn't enough Cyclone news or information to fill a thimble. I'll bet that most of your listeners would be happy if you'd just did the Cyclone stuff, and other sports things if you must and turn the recorder off. All of this pointless chatter...

I've sworn off your Fawcasts for this exact reason. They are a colossally poor use of my time. The only reason I tried one again today was because you said that something really great was going to be reported at the end. I've listened and I still don't have a clue what that could be. Was it that you can't stand to be with your wife, that your dog is horny, or that somebody handsome is going to be at what, the recruiting party?

Who cares?

What was the great thing that you reported at the end? That you thought you reported at the end?

Again, thank you for the great job you do here. Your site gives me great enjoyment on more than a daily basis. I for one would like it if you'd tighten up your podcasts.

Just don't listen if you don't like it. Is this concept that hard for people?

Does Chris need to explain the point of the fawcast for the 1000th time?

If you don't like them, fair enough. That being said, you could have pm'd CW with your question/concern. That may have been a little classier way to handle it.

You just have to skip through and weed out the small talk. It's really not hard to forward to the info and skip past what you don't want to hear.

I'm grateful he labels them Fawcast so I can immediately delete them. I'd rather listen to an hour long montage of Chris Berman calling home run shots during the All-Star Game.

Probably better if you just private message him this information in the future.

Well, I find them entertaining there is more to life than sports, and that's what they talk about with some sports thrown in.

Eh. Its not for everyone, but neither are any of the other podcasts. They offer a range of stuff for different readers\listeners. If you dont like one of them, just dont click it. The fawcast is more 'like-minded cyclones shooting the ****' than some of the more serious pieces.. which really is what CF is all about anyways.
