I love Stan Fischler, don't you?

I talk with The Maven almost every day and I can tell you that he is hilarious, as well as being a great guy. Were that not enough, he also has the best beard on television. But what do you think about his fashion style?

Ron Duguay, for one, isn't a big fan of Stan's suits, so the former Ranger took The Maven shopping for some new, cooler, threads.

THIS IS A MUST SEE!
