Quoted from chooch:

I am not a fanboy and I don't always agree with his opinions when it comes to the hobby. However I find his show entertaining and enjoy the frequency of content he provides since I don't always have time to read Pinside and keep up with the news. But if I would have said TPN confirmed Lyman was going to CGC it probably would had much less backlash since everyone seems to hate Kman and then the heard mentality likes to pile on.
I've known about the rumor myself for a quite some time but he seemed fairly confident yesterday based on his source. I didn't run and start a new thread like everyone else does on Pinside and nearly just provided an update in this one. I am huge Lyman fan and was excited to hear the rumor was true but there is nothing more deflating then coming to Pinside to share the information with others only to get shit on by other Pinsiders such as YeOldPinPlayer. He obviously hates Kaneda and is a fan of Franchi which is OK because different strokes for different folks. I enjoy Franchi as well and listen to his shows. Even got to hang out with him in the upstairs room at Pinball Life.
If you look at my post #413 I also mentioned how they supposedly acquired a second big name in the hobby which was the first I heard about it and don't think it was mentioned before anywhere else on Pinside, however I'm sure Kman won't get credit for that either which is OK because people only like to point out when he is wrong. I try not to hate anyone and respect everyone that takes time out of their personal life to provide content and information for a niche hobby but in the end guess haters are just going to hate.
