  • Macon Funny Jokes

    Five stars as always for the Green Light Crew as they mix up insightful football talk with plenty of wit as well. I’d give the podcast 10 stars if only for Macon’s profitable kicker props this season and his outstanding jokes while hosting the end of year awards show.

    Keep it up fellas.

  • More than Football

    I look forward to perspectives from guys in the looker room. Guys have a great chemistry. I laugh, disagree and mostly learn from guys who played. What I didn’t expect was feeling proud. On the Jan 26 episode Chris and team reflect on the current state of Minnesota. I couldn’t be happier for a podcast to use its platform for good. Good on you guys, now I get why you were all great teammates.

  • Excellent

    Very much enjoy Chris and his crew - very real and sincere and fun football analysis with a players perspective. A football season MUST listen for me.

    And appreciate Chris offering commentary on non-football, too, particularly when society impacted such as with Minneapolis (Jan ‘26)

    Thank you, Chris and crew! Keep it coming sirs!

    Macon, hurry up with the picks mannnn.…
