'HouseCast is FanHouse's audio podcast. Watch out. You might just get what you're after.
BDTH returns early in the week to chat it up with Dan Levy, proprietor of OnTheDLPodcast.com and the aptly named and very awesomely done podcast On the DL. Dan joins Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson to talk about all things Philly, including Brian Dawkins leaving, Donovan McNabb being a "phony," Terrell Owens (he still kind of counts, no?), and Ron Jaworski's preparedness. Additionally, Dan, Will and Ryan touch on Arlen Specter, how politics and sports mix, and how Dan plans to use On the DL to eventually rule the world. Kidding.

Couldn't get past the Tony Kornheiser conversation. I disagree that his MNF comments are directed to "the least common denominator". As sports reporters go, Kornheiser IS the lcd. He's the worst, always pandering to the "STARS" of the day/week/year. He is only a half step above Skip Bayless (the absolute worst!)He drives my dislikes into hatred. (Dallas Cowboys, LA Lakers, Tony Romo, Anything "Dallas", Kobe Bryant). I could go on & on, but don't have time. Kornheiser sucks no matter what the venue.

I will the second what Rich said above here. Kornheiser does in fact suck. I can't even stand the sound of this idiot's voice let alone the ridiculous comments he babbles on about during the game. He's a waste of airtime in the pre-show as well. I'd rather have a drunk Dennis Miller back in the booth making bird noises than listen to another sentence from Tony.
