  • Tennis megapod

    Gold standard. Liked Drew’s nugget on if you’re going to the tourney buy tickets for Women’s Q4 final. Could be a fun topic for the tennis Megapod, “if you were buying tickets, what would you buy”. Love the pod!

  • Todd ruins the show

    This podcast used to be fun to listen to, except when Todd talks. He is almost always loud and obnoxious. And it continues to get worse. They spend more time these days joking around and patting each other on the back than offering intereing analysis.
