    Spencer is one of my favorite writers around the league. Was so happy to see him land the position with The Athletic, and love him here on the show!

  • I’d give this more stars if…

    1) they would actually have working WiFi. The spotty audio drives me crazy and takes away from the actual content because I can’t hear it.

    2) Frandsen needs to go. When it is Eric & Spencer only it’s so much more knowledgeable and interesting. Sometimes I think Frandsen talks to hear himself.
