Default The Legend of Robert

This man deserves his own thread. Whether you laugh, nod, or pump your fist when he calls into Overtime on The Fan there is no mistaking he might be the most passionate MFer to be a fan of anything ever.

Holy lord.

Is that the caller who calls Steinberg "Patty" all throughout the call?

That might have been his magnum opus. I couldn't be more honoured that he mentioned me by name midway through. Part of history right there.

Are you sure he wasn't referencing the arachnid?

Has anyone mentioned gull foss by name?

I listen to overtime on my walk to work the morning after a game as I'm in the UK, and am always pumped to hear Robert is on the line!

Sending love from across the pond Robert! You give this fanbase something to cheer for!
