    The focus of every episode is different reflecting the changing seasons. If you’re new to the series, definitely go back as far as you can for some very special interviews and reflections on events in your favorite sport.

  • 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!
