  • The Luke & Zach Show

    I’m a huge Luke fan and I’ve sincerely enjoyed his solo work with the podcast but had been wondering if he would entertain a cohost. I think the Zach Collaros “Stepbrothers” Reunion Show confirmed these two need to be working together and a podcast could be the perfect medium.

  • I appreciate Luke’s take on the game

    I like Luke’s take on the game because he talks about the technical and strategic aspects of the game. Lots of analysts speak only vague and emotional blah blah, to me, that’s mediocre —- football talk needs to be supported by strategic and tactical examples because it’s a game that is won by strategic and tactical coaches, coordinators, QBs and players - that’s what makes the game interesting and complex.
