A Joyless Exercise

I saw this show on SNY after the Mets game. Two grown men with disproportionate affectations for Bud Harrelson bear-hugging because they bludgeoned two Mets fans. The final score was, like, 610 - 105:

"Gary Cohen of SNY and Howie Rose of WOR radio surely qualify, and then some. Both are lifers with encyclopedic knowledge of Mets history.


...

No spoilers here about who won when they faced two teams of avid fans. But it is no spoiler to say it was a nerve-wracking experience.

'These people are studying and preparing and reading,' Cohen said between shows. 'We have our memories, but these people are obviously rehearsing themselves, so yeah, it's very pressurized.'


Rose said he was impressed by the fans' knowledge but added he and Cohen had an edge going in because of their comfort in front of bright lights and cameras."

Similar experience I have when I watch Cohen on TV or listen to Rose on the radio.

Lighten up, fellas.

It's supposed to be fun.
