I love the Duck and i agree with him more often than not in regards to breakdowns and fights he's actually very knowledgeable IMO. We all know hes an against the grain kinda guy. All's fine and well. Just got tired of the daily rants about how much this or that sucks. We know not every match up is gonna be gold. Thats a part of the game you just have to deal with. Not every card can be loaded top to bottom week in week out. .Thats just unrealistic.
