  • More Sturdy

    It’s ok but Ked and Mike constantly complain about the referees. Sturdy is the best as he just analyzes the game. Technical issues also make this a tough listen.

  • Analysis Needs to be the focus

    I listen to every one of these post game podcast. Today’s is one of the worst not because they lost because of the negative and the complaining comments by Ked. stick to the analysis. who benefits by you complaining? you benefit and a negative commenters benefit fans don’t benefit listeners don’t benefit.
