  • A Must Listen for Sports Fans

    Tim does such a great job brining us some amazing stories from the sports leagues of the past. Have been listening for years and each show brings me back to the glory days of the MISL, NHL, USFL and so many other leagues that have come and gone. As a sports fan who truly enjoys the stories from the front office, sales, advertising and the business side of sports Good Seats Still Available is a must listen on a weekly basis!

  • Tim, trim the fat!!

    Great concept poisoned by a seemingly narcissistic host, taking the longest path to a question for the mere satisfaction of hearing his own voice. Tim’s surreal roundabout way of speaking is almost impressively infuriating.
