Default Hank Goldberg - Preakness Draw

That guy is toast and toasted. He cannot even complete a sentence. I heard he drinks but come on, he really seems wasted. Also looks like he's lost a lot of weight. I think I could do better i.e. hold my drinks and say something coherent.

Didn't see the post draw but now wish I did. I've often wondered how the guy gets TV gigs let alone how he keeps them.

Everytime I see him on a telecast, I swear he's drunk or darn near. Does he not realize that he sounds like an idiot?

I just said this on another forum -- I'm not sure why people keep accusing him of being "drunk".

I think he is just not well-suited to live interviews. And so I'm not sure why they keep putting him into a situation he's clearly not comfortable with.

Live TV just doesn't seem to be his cup of tea.

He's never been very good, but he seems far worse this year. I was wondering if he has had some health issues, can't seem to string anything together.

Drunk or not, last year at The Preakness, Hank Goldberg was the only one on the ESPN pre-race show to pick Bernardini over Barbaro. Not that we will ever know what might have happened. Then tragedy struck.
