    Has to stop banging the table. You can clearly hear it and it’s very distracting. Please someone let him know. Thank you.

  • Bontemps Blows

    Bontemps is too much. He is constantly interrupting others on the pod and corrects everything. He thinks his opinion is better than everyone else and he believes he’s always right. The show needs to replace him as a regular and use him in a more part time basis.

  • Windy and McMahon 5 stars: Bontemps -10 stars

    Bontemps consistently doesn’t know what the point of the conversation is by making completely irrelevant and distracting comments. He incessantly interrupts, and seems to care far more about critiquing other than actually talking basketball. The question I ask myself literally every time I go to listen is “Can I tolerate Bontemps today?”
