Always loved this podacast. Loved how they are not afraid to take on issues outside of sports.
Was very excited to see it was back, but very disappointed that the episode turned out to be a political ad for Kamala.
Will continue to listen, but just became a “if I have nothing else” to listen to
It was nice to hear Doug talk about being a “wife guy”. Ernie is definitely a wife guy with how he talks about Cheryl Ann. Chuck-why no love for your wife- even as the mother of your daughter? You show so much love and empathy for others. It seems sad.
Treating him like he’s relevant to anything we are looking for as sports fans. If you are going to represent one political party, have someone from the other side on as well just like you both been preaching
Liked the show until they started getting into politics. Not a good look for the guys.
Well said Sir Charles! Especially considering 12 current NFL teams have never won a Super Bowl Game. You and Ernie are the best!
