  • Barchard does it again

    This seems like the 3rd podcast that Barchard has abandoned. Dude, if you can't commit to doing a podcast, stop starting them and bailing on them. Leave the podcasting to someone more dependable.

  • I mean it’s alright.

    I used to love BGN and then Bell and the bird men. I like to follow John around he’s the voice I’ve listened to for the last 6 years of podcasting I’d say, but new guy talks too much John is sometimes around and the episodes are sporadic it’s still a good listen but it’s just not the same anymore and I know all good things must come to an end so it’s only change that I don’t like id still say give it a try.

  • Best and most informative eagles podcast

    I thought I knew about the Eagles until I started listening to The Bell and the Birdmen podcast. The level of knowledge about coaching staff, players, strategy, and analysis these guys bring to the podcast is unbelievable. They obviously research and have a history in sportscasting and bring that knowledge to the table without an agenda like the radio and tv commentators do. I love that I can support these guys doing what they love doing and get some real knowledge at the same time. Keep on livi... more
