Lots of people here talk quite intelligently, and much of the time with lots of great opinions (others not so much), but we shouldn't ever really think we ARE smarter. If we were, we would be the ones with the million dollar jobs.

What are you 3 going to think when Gulutzan ultimately pairs Giordano & Brodie back together, permanently, around the 25% mark of the season?
