  • Show with Solomon Wilcots

    Great show with Solomon Wilcots. You both did a great job explaining what is happening during the Bengals game and leading up to the game.

    Dave, do you think the Chase non signing is having a negative effect on the locker room?

    Lap, great episode. Thanks for having Coach on! One criticism - the audio isn’t good. That’s from both your end and the guest’s. Hard to hear some comments. Lock that in and you’re back to your gold standard!
