Like him or hate him Matt is good at what he does. He's interesting and has good takes on all things UK. If he's going to take more sabbaticals in the future I wish he would let Kyle Tucker and Tony Vanetti co-host KSR. Both of those guys are interesting and can hold an audience. In fact I think they could do a great sports show together that could rival KSR if they ever chose to do so.
The problem is - he has a Napoleon complex so he surrounds himself with guys who can't do the job so that he overflates his star power. Similar to a semi-hot chick clubbing with fat chicks.
Lemond is a clown show sidekick that's sole purpose is to get made a fool of and Monobrow is funny in spurts but couldn't lead a whore to bed.
Bangs wisely surrounded himself with talent that could not hold his jock with 2 hands and a wheel barrow.
