    I'm sure you also know that when the sample size is small, the results are more likely to be negative. People are more likely to respond when they are dissatisfied than when they are happy. An angry customer is more vocal and more likely to take action than one who is satisfied and content.

    Even given that, the poll results continue to run > 2:1 in favor of firing the Mikes and hiring Calabro.

    I'm not sure it's so much in favor of firing Mike and Mike and hiring Calabro, as much as it is accepting that they replaced them with Kevin.

    To me, it's like keeping a perfectly fine CRT tv vs replacing it with a much nicer 4k flat screen.

    Yeah, the TV works. In fact, it works good and you're used to it. But once you see the 4k tv, you realize it wasn't as nice as you remember.

    Would you be fine with the CRT TV? Yeah. But since you upgraded, it's not so horrible that you lost the old one.

    Good point and good analogy.

    Also, the survey was made after the fact. So, it isn't people are voting for firing the Mikes. It's already a done deal. It's more like: ok, now that they've been fired, do you wish we would have kept them, or are you cool with the new guy?

    You can take this one step further and say that with the old tv it was tougher having game parties, because everyone preferred going to joe smiths house to watch it on his 4k tv, even though his place wasn't the best place with regards to comfort. But since I had already upgraded my kitchen and my couch, and now my tv,... man, EVERYONE wants to hang at my place.

    Is that an open invitation for game viewing parties at your place? Sure sounds like one...

    I like Tone. I mean, he seems like a really nice and great guy. But yeah, he was never really cut out for the job. I will give him props for improvement though. He was an absolute stuttering nonsensical mess during his first season. He improved to "listenable" before the end. I wish him the best though, really.
