  • Stoneys Great. Jon’s a cult member

    Jon Jansen said knowing the other teams plays are not an advantage. This dude is so far from honest it is like tuning into North Korean or Russian media.

  • Costa is unbearable

    I skip every episode where Costa is filling in. His takes are uneducated, thinks he knows everything, overly critical of irrelevant details, unlistenable.

    Stoney & Jansen are great
