Bad sports marketing, NFL panic and more

Danny found a great story about a fan who replied to an email from his account manager with the Mets and told him in a very blunt way, why he won't be re-upping his season tickets next year. Are bad teams just not worth rooting for sometimes? If owners don't care about the product they're putting on the field, should we care about rooting for them? Hard to believe the NFl season is udnerway already with a good amount of teams, including the Giants and Jets, are both 0-2. Is it time to panic yet? At least for the Giants, it may be time to sound the alarm. Legendary boxer, former middleweight champion, Jake Lamotta passed away at the age of 95. LaMotta was the inspiration for the iconic movie "Raging Bull," starring Robert DeNiro. Danny and Chris give the list of their favorite sports movies.

Chris and Dan give their fantasy football pet peeves.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
