  • Rich Paul is unlikable

    Max would be better either A) solo or B) with a co host who isn’t so simultaneously boring and arrogant

  • Investigation

    The NBA needs to investigate Rich Paul and Klutch for manipulating the salary cap. Shame on Bill Simmons and The Ringer for producing this show and promoting fraudulent activities. Rich Paul has painted the league in a negative light for the last time. @NBA needs to investigate and void all Klitch contracts

    Max Kellerman you are just collateral in this review. I wish nothing but the best for you.

  • It’s fine, but far from potential.

    At times it feels like just people talking about sports and not really a space for insightful content. Also, Max interrupts Rich ALOT. This does not add to the show.

    Please provide more thoughtful sports content that we aren’t already getting.
