Great concept for a show

I saw this show and fell in love with it. If you love sports and our not married and dating this is the show for you. The main character is easy great and so is the supporting cast. If you are a guy you can identify with at least one of the guys on the show. If you are a "one of the Guys" girl then you can identify with PJ ( the main character).

I love sports and I have always wanted to go to Chicago ( making me want to go all the more.

This show has a future and a good following it also has a my space page with all the characters. I hope TBS keeps this show for more then 1 season.
