  • 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.

  • Bartel, Shaw & Richo

    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

Q: How did you view the move to the Giants, and what did you see in the team that suggested you could go on to compete at the highest level there?
I saw a clear willingness to win, even though the Giants were building. The environment and Gabby Allen's call showed there was potential; with time and coaching, the team could develop into a premiership-ready group, which ultimately materialized years later.
