I gotta say, I'm a little amazed that NTT was feeling tired. Forever and ever I'd hear all four of the guys say that NTT was their favorite segment, they looked forward to it all week long and it was a great way to kick off a weekend. I totally agreed. Then over the course of a few months it drops from best segment of the week down to tired and needing of being spiced up? Wow.
Like I said earlier, much love to Kurt Busch but I think spicing up was the problem. The segment was perfect with Joe always picking the list or last week's winner picking it with listener help.
I also agree with zdunklee. I always assumed the best way to get fans involved and to draw in new listeners was to have games. There used to be games that you got prizes just for playing like "Uncanny Impressions" and "Smarter Than a Fifth Grader." Now there are only two games. "Dumber Than Zane" is next to impossible just to play and FB's record speaks for itself on "Sportier Than Thou." The calling in and winning avenue of listener interactions is just about dried up.

I am the irrepressible dark horse.
