  • Why five stars & now one star

    Anthony Edwards edit — I wouldn’t but wonder if Ric would let his daughter date him. Considering he literally has been caught paying almost a million in “reproductive rights” for multiple women. Maybe that’s “Gen Z” or a failure of the previous “Gens”.

  • Please give us your stories

    Ric, I enjoy your NBA/life storytelling. Especially referencing back to your times as a beat reporter in San Francisco.

    Years ago you did a four part series on your time covering the Warriors. It was so cool to hear your stories about your work and about your personal life in the Bay Area.

    Please make more content like this!

  • NBA and Other Sports Topics

    Ric Bucher, your last two podcasts have been great. The NBA has been great, but your addition of NFL, Soccer and other current topics was great. Please continue to commentate on current topics of interest. Thanks

  • I Can Meet Bucher Halfway. He is a Rare Breed

    Two times I have left a fair but negative review on this podcast. Two times Ric has responded on his actual podcast, and I just can’t think of many out there that would even begin to care what a listener thinks in the review section, much less quickly respond in a fair way. Ric Bucher is a stand up guy and agree or disagree, he has my 5 Stars moving forward. And personally, I appreciate that that means something to him.
