4.4 out of 5 stars from 1.9k ratings
  • Yates is outstanding

    Enough of the Yates bashing. I’ve been surprised how fantastic he’s been as both host and analyst. You can tell the guy has legitimately done his homework and is passionate about the subject matter.

  • Mel connection Lost

    Mel loses connection allot over the year with bad internet connection. Can you make it where Yates and Kiper do podcast together? Seems like this has affected allot of episodes over the last few years. more

Field is the consummate pro, super detail oriented, allows Mel to be the star and fills in around him perfectly as a good host should. I think he has an eye for talent too in his own right.

  • Bring back Todd!

    Once again ESPN is trying to make Yates an analyst. He is a mediocre show host when surrounded by actual analysts, but he is not an expert on the draft or fantasy football.

  • Seriously. Audio quality???

    The information is fantastic, but the sound quality makes this a very hard listen. It sounds like they are recording the podcast from inside a phone booth. Come on ESPN, spend a little more on your talent. Update - ESPN letting McShay go was pretty much a death blow to this podcast.
