Most of his analysis is correct. Most importantly his banter is superb, far more entertaining than ddk or jzfb. Sry about ur fave team nip going tier2... BTW Spence is the most autistic name I've ever heard... I know thorin said he has asperger's but he seems 100% functional and either way I don't see how it can discredit him. You on the other hand, spence, well I'm just not sure you are of the high functioning variety....sorry to say....
