  • Colin blew it

    You’ve become irrelevant on Netflix. The majority of my listening to you was from YouTube. I quit Netflix about a year ago and haven’t missed it. Sad

  • Hard Stop! Had to abort today’s mailbag.

    Really a hypothetical flag football game versus the NBA finals⁉️ That’s a legitimate question that you’re going to lend credence to coming off the combine.

    Congratulations on the kid, but we don’t need PxP on parenting.

    Stick to real FB. Instead we get you breaking down the Raptors roster on a FB pod.

    Be better! 😡

  • Netflix move

    I don’t know man, you had a pretty good thing going on YouTube. Netflix isn’t a platform for live or instant reactions. A lot more people use YouTube than Netflix. Poor decision

LIV Golf is being SHUTDOWN? NFL Draft Thoughts + NFL Offseason Mailbag
Q: What is the consumer's stake in the news around players and teams?

LIV Golf is being SHUTDOWN? NFL Draft Thoughts + NFL Offseason Mailbag
Q: How does the transfer portal complicate evaluating players coming out of college?
It introduces inconsistency across programs; what a coach says about a player can be very different from what another program sees, so evaluators must weigh both production and character while reconciling program biases.
LIV Golf is being SHUTDOWN? NFL Draft Thoughts + NFL Offseason Mailbag
Q: Why do NFL teams differ so much in their draft results even when they scout players similarly?
Experience matters: seasoned GMs know how to balance on-field talent with off-field traits, organizational fit, and past draft outcomes, which helps navigate the pressure of Thursday and Friday picks where the human element dominates.
