  • Enjoy the show but

    Evan reads so many statistics. There’s no way people can properly digest all the numbers, the human brain just isn’t designed that way. (Maybe he can use rankings or just say they’re good/average/bad). Nevertheless, happy to have this in my podcast lineup.

  • Great Tigers Analysis

    Listened all season & was a great show with a lot of insights. I appreciate that the commentary was honest & unbiased.

If Evan can work on this in the off season it would greatly improve his production. Really like Chris Brown on other podcasts & he was an excellent addition to this podcast as well. I would like... more

  • Angry Host

    Evan just seems angry all the time. Chris Brown is a great guest and partner, love Chris. Free Press needs to switch Evan off the beat, as I’m pretty sure he just hates the Tigers front office over past events. It comes across.
