I actually prefer Keith talking sports over Keith talking politics. Wish Dan Patrick was joining him.

I watched it from nearly Day One. His sports show has some of the same elements, including the "Worst Person", complete with the same music, and the same Keithy sense of humor and not-dumbed-down commentary. He even throws his stack of papers at the camera. It gives me a feeling that all is well with the world again.
