From the wikipedia entry for "The Steve Harvey Show":
Undoubtedly the highest rated showing was on October 18, 2008, when TBS showed a re-run of the Steve Harvey show instead of the first inning of game 6 of the 2008 ALCS, as TBS was experiencing technical difficulties at the time.

I thought we'd go to ESPN club after Epcot and watch the game there, but the line was too long.

They had tvs on outside when the Sux were scoring their 2nd run. Standing in FL, 1 hour from Tampa, and the place was going nuts because the Red Sox were scoring. It was so disgusting.

I do think Bradford has been underused in the series

I have no idea what you're talking about,

but I assume it’s suggesting that I mean “experience as the be all and end all above every other factor” – which obviously I don’t.

I also mean I didn't hear anything about experience except when a young player

didn’t perform. Not just from you, from anyone.
