  • Not Good - this pod that is.

    The Seat Geek read might as well be the exact copy of GameTime. John tries to come off as authentic -just selling out to whatever sponsor Colin can hire for him.

    Still just a washed up has been - now podcasting it’s what most do when they get fired from their real job(s)

    And really we don’t need parenting updates from you. 5 minutes WTF⁉️

    Many of us/most of us have kids or have raised them. I don’t need you to share it. It’s not entertaining.

    Stick to football. Oh wait you sometimes think ... more

  • 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! 😡
