  • Amazing show

    What a brilliant show. Full of chemistry, integrity and passion.

    The amount I have learnt from listening to the show am a not be underestimate.

    Just fantastic.

    Although, they could update the podcast cast.

    Why is Wyles not leader of the show? 😂

  • Here today, gone tomorrow

    This show has stunk since the season started. And I get it’s not about cogent analysis, it’s supposed to be provocative and inflammatory sports commentary(more first take, undisputed) but I just can’t listen to these guys give grace to every team they like, whether it’s acknowledging injuries, tough circumstances, or any other nuance. But with teams they don’t like it’s just funks and frauds. I get you guys are more theatrics than insights. But have some integrity and consistency. Well, I guess ... more

    So loyal about Rodger’s then Steelers win a game they all chose to lose and they don’t even say anything about it

  • Done for now

    I feel like this is just 2 local radio stations from Baltimore and KC who somehow got put on the same broadcast and talk in circles for 2 hours. “Mahomes is 17th in every stat!” “But who would you want with .5 seconds left!” Ad nauseam
