  • Please fix audio levels

    Great show, but the audio levels are terrible. One commentator can hardly be heard and the next breaks your ears. And the ads are so much louder than the show.

    Love the Sunday panel chemistry; very entertaining and natural. Much better without McClure (sorry Sam). And of course Lane, Wilson & Matthews remain the GOAT.

  • Stop trying so hard Sam

    I know being combative is your ‘schtick’ Sam but boy it gets tiresome being so contrarian to almost every opinion of the panel. It comes across as defensive and insecure and takes away from the really good takes you do have
