Today on @marketplace.org, we ask: What can America learn from Utah County?

As a fan of both clubs the discourse from Red Sox fans on this drives me absolutely nuts

Unpopular opinion that I guess I feel like sharing: Good riddance to Inside the NBA. Three guys who admit they don't actually watch the teams they cover, and Ernie 'I wrote in John Kasich' Johnson thinks wearing a bow tie is a Personality. They had good backup hosts tho for the occasional Tuesday
