A really really great show that I once in a while check hopelessly & realize that there will never be new episodes. This is evergreen content though, give it a listen.
I really enjoyed all of the 8 episodes, especially as many of them covered topics that were not likely big enough to get their own 30 for 30!
There is so much material and potential of new episodes out there. Please make more episodes Ivan!!
-Nick “T-Bone-Tarone”
Ivan is the best! Please give us more episodes!
Maisel proves himself to be a master story teller. Yes, it’s about CFB, but still so much more. It’s about life, death, racial tensions, controversy, heroes, villains, rising and falling. It’s stories about life, interconnected by that great sport we all love. May we have some more, please?!?
Phenomenal storytelling.
