How can Sheahan's "heart beat true" ? He was involved (orchestrated?) that "On The Couch" setup that featured the nondescript Brock McLean and started this whole tanking issue

We have only one and he described our club as disgusting and pathetic. His show landed us in this tanking trouble. Me personally I would tell him to f... off.

Maybe that is why we have no media profile.

I know, right?

I was just interested to post this, because some people were trying to guess who EQ barrack's for. It's nice to know from what angle people are coming from.
