4.8 out of 5 stars from 2.2k ratings
  • Goated

    This show is as good as it gets. As long as you can tolerate a 15-30 min segment each show (and I mean every show) about how much better LeBron is than MJ. Otherwise a great show!

  • Turn down for never

    Ruther, Praino & the rest give good podcast. Not sure about a lot of what they're going on about (does it really matter if colleges play each other at anything?) but then again I'm happy with a 5 day cricket Test.......... Looking forward to the day someone truly snaps and goes postal - my money is on Goldberg @johncarson64

  • Interesting US sports pod with Middle Aged man vibe

    For the most part a really enjoyable pod that mixes sports opinion with a left field combination of comedy, social commentary and middle aged man issues.

    I really enjoy listening to it when I’m walking my dog who benefits from an extra long walk as I like to finish the pod before we get home.

    Joe needs to seek some professional treatment for his obsession with Taylor Swift.

    9/10 Keep up the good work!

  • The best

    I have a short attention span and it’s hard for me to care about anything for a long period of time. I’ve listened to this podcast for 6 years and haven’t missed one episode. I don’t know what I would do without Praino and Ruther.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EPISODE 1282: NFL = National Financial League
Q: Is Ja'Marr Chase better than JSN?
Andy Ruther says Chase's career production and consistency give him the edge, while Joe Praino argues that Jaxon Smith-Njigba's recent performance and circumstances make the comparison closer.
EPISODE 1282: NFL = National Financial League
Q: Who would you rather have at quarterback between Sam Darnold and Jalen Hurts?
Joe Praino prefers Sam Darnold, arguing that Darnold's reputation reflects playing on poor teams and that he would rather have a quarterback willing to risk mistakes. Andy Ruther chooses Jalen Hurts, citing his running ability, record and performances in two Super Bowls.
EPISODE 1281: Cam Skattebo is Looney Tunes Black
Q: Do you guys have a personal favorite player that you really are sad never got a chance to win a championship?
The hosts name Patrick Ewing and Charles Barkley, and also discuss Dan Marino and Barry Bonds as notable players who never won a championship.
EPISODE 1281: Cam Skattebo is Looney Tunes Black
Q: Is there an NFL player who could compete with Maxx Crosby as the blackest white guy?
The hosts consider several players, including Randy Moss, Cooper DeJean, and Cam Skattebo, with Joe Praino describing Skattebo as resembling a Looney Tunes character styled as urban.
EPISODE 1211: The Giants Need to Hire Harbaugh Yesterday
Q: What are your thoughts on the narrative around John Harbaugh's firing compared to Andy Reid's situation with the Eagles?
There seems to be a double standard; while some view Harbaugh as a Hall of Fame coach deserving of another chance, Reid was seen as a 'choker' before his success with the Chiefs.
