I listen to the Dan Lebatard Show on ESPN 790 (Miami) almost religiously because of its refusal to take sports too seriously and its determination in not talking about the same dumb stuff every other sports talk radio program talks about. Something else I admire is the way it laughs at itself far more than anyone or anything else. Promo lead-ins after commercial breaks are often edited collections of stupid things the show's host and co-host have said on the air, and there used to be an annual awards show where voters would select the dumbest moments of the year.
One (really idiotic, but really funny) recurring segment has the on-air and production personalities each take a turn stating an honest completion of this sentence: "I'm embarrassed to admit this, but..." It's pretty dang funny.
In that spirit (and as a response to the sustained negativity that's characterized HT these many years), here is a space for voicing complaints, confessions, and admission about ourselves. If you post a complaint in another thread about someone else's behavior or personality, come here and post one about yourself. Perhaps by not letting ourselves off the hook once in a while, we'll be more eager to let someone else off the hook once in a while.
