  • Great pod

    Love the pod. Just please consistently speak at same level and into mic. It’s either super loud or whispering going on. Very annoying.

  • Just Cancel This

    Literally zero value in these podcasts. Sam’s mythical “wise guy” friends? And when did Sam start originating his own numbers? Give us a break. Sad state of affairs when companies are propping up tv producers and a New England nightly news sports guy as any sort of expert. Lazy and sloppy

  • Biased and Disingenuous

    Used to be a good show but it’s become Chris being emotional and biased and the other two agreeing with what he says. They also rely way too much on “wise guy” bets rather than providing actual data as to why a particular move is correct. Basically, what started as a show with effort is now lazy and unprepared

  • Ignorant and biased

    The SEC Delusion Syndrome makes this slop unlistenable. The whining and ignorance of the conference is pathetic. It’s obvious that these useless hacks are following marching orders from the wildly overrated L1L conference, and I will no longer waste my time with these useless idiots. Just pathetic all around.
