  • Haters

    Yes people watch women’s sports and so if you are saying that people don’t watch women sports you are A) wrong B) just a hater and jealous and that’s coming from a 12 year old

  • Good content, wish it was more timely

    I like the podcast, but they have a 2-3+ day turn around from recording to posting which can feel pretty out of touch with how fast things are changing during playoffs, etc. Personally I’d rather the editing be less polished and hear them talking about more recent developments.

    Oh why isn’t Paige more popular than CC? Sounds like high school. So many other better podcast than this. One & only listen. Maybe Megan can ask why Mia Hamm more popular than her.
