  • Very negative

    Too negative and often conflict in their own opinions they’re presenting.

    Their pronunciation of some names is atrocious and makes you wonder if they actually follow along.

    Shame as there are some good parts

  • Volume issues

    I think the information, whether I agree or not, is compelling. My big issue is they need an audio engineer or something to keep Fentress’ volume at a consistent level. Sometimes he gets so quiet I can barely hear him. It detracts from the quality of the production.

  • Fun Podcast Despite Audio

    Maybe it’s me, but Aaron doesn’t seem able to maintain reasonably consistent audio levels, whether he’s moving around the mic or simply alternating between shout and whisper. At times it borders on unlistenable, and I find myself constantly adjusting my headphone level. Craig’s audio levels, on the other hand, are fairly consistent.

  • Brutal Episode

    I’ve listened to these guys in the past and didn’t dislike the show, but I tuned into the 10/2/23 episode and they spent the hour mostly trashing the Blazers past and present. Negative, at times uninformed, belligerent takes. Specifically, omitting the fact that Dame never rescinded his trade request in their evaluation of Cronin’s denying his return to the team, devaluing the RW III and Brogdon pick-ups in their comparison to the Miami offer and suggesting Scoot isn’t or shouldn’t be the starti... more

  • Yikes. This is bad.

    This is the podcast for you if you’re looking for some of the worst content about the Blazers. Aaron Fentress often confuses being a clown with being edgy. The only thing he feeds more than his burgeoning belly is his ego. Hopefully he is run out of Blazers coverage soon. I can see why Ducks fans felt relief when he moved on.

    Absolutely terrible show.
