So, I moved it *out* of the network page because the network seems to be more or less defunct and there was a lot of discussion about old shows. There were some links in the old page about The Two G's that I expunged; if someone wants to write a Two G's page, they should look through the old stuff to retrieve them.

[edit] Merger of Steven Cohen and Nick Geber pages

Is there any reason that the hosts need their own pages? They're notable primarily for the show, yes? We could take the miniscule amount of information about each of them and put it in the WSD page, I think. Zimbardo Cookie Experiment 14:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

The biography articless should be expanded, not merged here. They do need there own pages, besides World Soccer Daily, they are both personalities involved in Sirius satellite radio, as well as Fox Soccer Channel (Fox Football Phone-in) and Nick Geber is involved with Bluff Magazine. Both of them were also recently featured in FourFourTwo magazine, so I think that says something about their notability. // Laughing Man 18:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I have to say I don't understand why. The two are involved in Sirius satellite radio only inasmuch as they are one of the hosted shows, and then the two also have a televised program with the same format. Compare Opie & Anthony, who don't have individual pages despite being much more popular. The article in 442 was about them as a broadcasting duo. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zimbardo Cookie Experiment (talk • contribs) 19:03, 20 March 2007 (UTC).

You're right. Go ahead and merge, let me know if you need help. // Laughing Man 21:13, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Opinion and personal attacks on the page.

The 2Gs-taken off the streets and given a home, the pair were brought into the show early 2006, but because they wanted a show of their own and in order to achieve thier greedy motives the two begged Sirius for their own show. Going as far as stabbing Steve and Nick in the back, they got what they demanded, only to realise nobody wanted to listen to a small-time player (Gazza) who failed in England. As of the 6th of March, The 2Gs were sacked by Sirius and do their show through the internet. One must ask how they make enough money to support themselves?

This section of the article seem totally unrelated to the subject of Nick and Steven's show, and seems to serve only to slander the hosts of the "2G" show.

This information should be removed from this article or rewritten to reflect the fact that it seems to be personal opinion of a critic. Do they give any evidence of "stabbing in the back". Why would someone who looks up the Nick and Steven article care "how they make enough money to support themselves?"

It's a very recent addition. I agree that it shouldn't be there; I'll get rid of it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zimbardo Cookie Experiment (talk • contribs) 13:11, 21 March 2007 (UTC).

It got added again, by User:60.224.115.168 and by User:Theman2007. I have no objection to a few fun facts, but we don't need updated news on whether or not Steven talked about cricket one day, we don't need opinions and commentary on Lawrence the Arsenal supporter, and we really really don't need libelous statements about the 2 Gs mailing bomb hoaxes. Zimbardo Cookie Experiment 14:10, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. // Laughing Man 16:43, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
