At the desk
The Crew
GradyAnchor · silverback gorilla
The voice of reason. Ties every segment together. Drinks from a plain white mug and has never once raised his voice.
Dottie MaeAnalyst · honey badger
Picks every upset. Most of them don't happen. Season record read out loud by Grady at every sign-off.
Rocco TuskAnalyst · warthog, former lineman
Loud, hungry, delighted. Measures every stat in barbecue. "Put it on the desk."
Coach ClucksworthCoach's Corner · rooster
Old Louisiana football coach. Says nothing at the desk until Coach's Corner, then breaks down the play of the week on the chalkboard.
ScoopField reporter · pigeon
Always live. Always in a parking lot. Gets a little closer to the stadium every week.
Old WalterPrediction desk · tortoise
Gives one prediction a week. Has never finished one.
