This holiday season, Amazon brings you an unmissable month of festive football.

What a fantastic night of football.

Including 10 Premier League games.

It doesn't get much better than that.

And Tuesday's UEFA Champions League must watch match.

The biggest live games from the biggest leagues all wrapped up.

It's on Prime.

The United States. Good evening. Welcome to the Pirates Fan Forum here on DK. Pittsburgh Sports Podcasting Network. I'm your host Gary Morgan.

With me, as always, is my good friend and co-host

Jim Stam. Say hello, sir. Hey guys. How's it going? And we've brought along one of my favorite fans,

and I call him fan and nothing more, because that's exactly what I love about him. He's literally

just a Pirates fan

that lives in Texas and somehow still watches this team. So Sean Connolly say hello everybody.

Hello everybody. So today, before I get into some big rambling rant, I thought we should spend a little bit of time talking about the GM maybe being part of the reason why they don't want to spend this year, as opposed to just going ahead and scapegoating bob nutting like we typically

do i i think in this case we may be actually up against one of those weird situations where

yeah the owner's cheap but the gm's not interested in spending right at this moment does that make sense to you guys, or am I just making things up?

Because I've already been told that I'm making an excuse for nutting,

and I really don't think I am this time.

Sean, go ahead.

All right.

I don't think you're nuts, but I also don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. So

Sherrington is more of the expert and really nutting is more of a owner slash customer type.
