  • Making a point

    I love these podcasters, but the dynamic has changed without Stephania Bell and ESPN needs to correct this issue and bring her back.

  • Repeat content

    80% of the offseason has just been rehashing their personal mock drafts. Who decided that would be good content? Maybe one or two but damn near 10-15 episodes of mock drafting is just silly. Bring back the episodes where two teams were talked about in depth. I still really love Clay, Liz and Field but the content given to them isn't helpful for fantasy managers.

  • Not the same...

    Why not change the name. None of the OGs are even there. The last person that wasn't a tool was Stephania. Hope she joins Berry. Never listening again.

  • Bring Stephania back.

    Not a fan of Liz Loza. Doesn’t add anything of value but her own opinions which we already get from Daniel, Mike and Field. Stephania was a much better contributor with actual football contacts and insight on injuries which is super helpful. Bring Stephania back!!!
