Yesterday was freaking amazing. Even though there were other big games on, I wanted to continue to bask in the glory of the Ole Miss victory, so I pulled up the post game show on the smart tv. There was Chase, ever the skillful moderator. He was interrupted a few times by giggling little kids, but he didn’t let that become much of a distraction. We love Chase, so he gets a pass for that. Then there was Siskey, who has really grown into this media role. I wasn’t sure what to think for a while. I couldn’t understand what Neal saw in him. But he has settled in and brings so much to the table. We’re lucky to have him. And then there was that guy who wouldn’t sit still. He kept moving around while Siskey and Chase were talking and then he would pop on screen and interrupt with some comment that revealed that he was only half paying attention. Newsflash: It was the biggest night ever for Ole Miss fans. No one - literally no one - logged in to watch you cook a steak. We wanted to hear cogent takes on the game. We were waiting for Neal to come on and put a bow on it. Jesus, I’ve been a supporter of Neal’s decision to promote and develop Jeffrey, and I’m happy that the kid has found success. But damn, if you’re going to do a show, sit down and do it. Otherwise, go cook your steak and feed your baby and don’t ruin a great show.
