  • Norlander wrong on Mullins

    It is OK. It is even understandable given that Norlander lives in Connecticut. I’m sure in UConn section of the country he is all over the news and his picture was everywhere last April.

Few know his face, except that it was some young wh... more

  • AGANESUM

    These guys need to shout out AGANESUM in every show after GP’s audio got caught on loop. Other than that, these guys are college basketball plenipotentiaries.

  • Whiners

    It’s sad because I enjoy these guys at times. These millionaire goobers should see that their analysts, producers, podcast team, writers, cinematography etc get paid more money vs the over pay to guys bloviating over sports journalism. Liberals always favor taking from someone else and redistributing it, but they never volunteer to share their wealth.

  • Audio

    Love the show but in last few weeks, GP’s mic has gotten painful to listen to. Too much bass, popping his P’s, all hard consonants are a problem. P, B, T, makes it a hard listen.
