Yeah. I thought they were going to kill each other. I've never seen
commentators fight on the air like that. Fratello made an unfunny joke
about confusing the republic of Georgia with the state. Albert took it
to be Fratello's ignorance(Fratello really coached in the republic of
Georgia). After that they were making jabs at each other, with
Fratello saying "I know how the statistics work" and Albert taking
offense at Fratello's perceived criticism of the production
staff. Albert said at one point "I'm just trying to have an on-air
conversation" or something like that. I'm amazed that TNT allowed
that to continue.
