So Aaron, what exactly was the message? Because what I heard, more than anything else, was an attempt to publicly admonish A.R. for his nuanced remarks about the media. Also I found your impassioned defense about Rob Demovsky's work ethic to be somewhat disingenuous - particularly given your prior remarks and opinion of him. You generally provide better content than what you did yesterday, so I'm not going to unsubscribe to CTV, as I also enjoy my interaction with the other contributors and commentors. I can appreciate that it is difficult to be brilliant all of the time.

Correct. There's no correlation between delivery method and the "rightness" of the message. In this case both the delivery method and the message were exaggerated to the point of farce and unnecessarily damaging to the brand you've built, particularly on your 200th episode where you had one of the biggest possible gets in the franchise on the show. It came across as the bitter grumblings of a guy with an axe to grind with AR12 because he hasn't come on Transplants (which, you know, is going to be impossible now if there was even a small chance of it happening before this episode dropped).

I'm still largely a fan of your work and the content here is excellent. You were off this week; even in your interview with MLF you seemed to be on edge for no apparent reason (the reason became apparent later on, I guess) and it was kind of uncomfortable to watch. We're all human and we're allowed to make mistakes. Doubling down isn't a good look. Go Pack.
