I decided to listen to Toucher & Hardy for the first time in maybe 6 months, just to see if there was anything interesting coming out of the AFC Championship Game. Instead, the first 15-20 minutes of the show was Fred talking about softcore porn and what he used to do watching Rue McClanahan on the Golden Girls when he was 12.

He's just a complete parody of himself. At some point, doesn't Beasley Media get embarrassed by any of this and pull the plug?

Dick Button, whose passionate and often tart commentary on figure skating competitions became a television staple over six decades and made him the sport’s unofficial spokesperson, died Thursday in North Salem, N.Y. He was 95.

His death was confirmed by his son, Edward.
