  • The worst!!!

    I’ve tried and tried to buy in to this podcast. As a diehard Houston fan, I am embarrassed by your takes. You guys spend more time trying to clarify the others takes. It takes up half the show. I hate to say it. But I am very envious of Dallas sports radio/podcasts. Do better!
