  • Terrible content

    The content lacks quality and they prolong the podcast by repeating things over and over again. Absolutely horrible analysis and they act like they know their stuff but it’s the opposite. Don’t waste your time with this one and don’t subscribe to their site because more of the same is there. To the host and others who contribute to it: don’t waste people’s time with irrelevant content. Don’t do a podcast if you are not going to put effort into it.

    J.J. Cooper is horrendous and is very childish.... more

    They do a great job of providing scouting reports to fans so they can better get to know prospects on their favorite teams and around the league. I really enjoy listening to them talk about every teams top prospects.
