    Matt is the best thing on podcasts, including Macko and Cauz. Funny, self deprecating and smart. Keep up the great work

  • Too much screaming at a mic

    Good content but too much rage and ranting. Screams into the mic way too much. Shame they let Scott McArthur go

  • Dull

    Pointless and meandering. Boring jock with an empty personality. Only reason to listen is for the informative James Mirtle segments, but if you’re expected to sit through hours of Scott Mac droning on to get there, you lost me.

    Why has TSN snared one of their most knowledgeable analysts (Mirtle) to this random show? Give Mirtle a segment on Overdrive so we can actually hear him. No one wants this show. Literally no one is asking for Scott’s opinions.

    We can do better.

Q: What do you expect from Drake May this Sunday?
He needs to avoid playing out of his skill set and will likely try to escape pressure with his legs. He must be forced to beat defenses with his passing.
