  • Ehh

    Louder isn’t better, it’s actually annoying. At least Bull and Dustin knew when to reign in the other. Tough listen most of the time.

    Nick Wilson isn’t for me. Dusty is good when he does show up (1/2024 appears to be going through a personal crisis so he gets a pass)

    Kudos to the producer for getting good national guests. Not sure why the guests put up with Nick.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hour 5: Kurt Helin + Should Fernando Mendoza be the unquestioned first overall pick?
Q: How should the Cavaliers handle their playoff approach without LeBron?
They can utilize the time to integrate James Harden into their system and figure out their rotations.
Ashley Bastock: I think Shedeur Sanders is most likely to start Week 1
Q: Ashley, why do you think it feels like Andrew Berry just operates with no sense of urgency?
It's noted that Andrew Berry appears strategic and unflappable, focusing on not being backed into corners during the offseason.
Ashley Bastock: I think Shedeur Sanders is most likely to start Week 1
Q: Ashley, is momentum building for Malik Willis and the Browns?
The discussion revolves around the financial aspect, making it challenging to build momentum despite interest in utilizing Malik Willis in the Todd Monken offense.
Daryl Ruiter: I don’t think Deshaun deserves the benefit of the doubt
Q: Which would you be happier with, Kyler Murray or Malik Willis being the week one starter?
I'd be happier with Kyler Murray because he's produced consistently at this level, whereas Malik Willis has played in as many games as Shador Sanders.
Daryl Ruiter: I don’t think Deshaun deserves the benefit of the doubt
Q: Do you feel like Deshaun deserves the benefit of the doubt?
No, he hasn't played worthy of the benefit of the doubt for like six years, so I have no interest in seeing Deshaun Watson on the field this year whatsoever.
