    The fella’s, J Hood, Kap & J Moore are a quality trio. Need more J Moore, quality music drops & I like his authentic take on sports.

  • JHood is a brutal listen

    I just can’t listen to the show anymore. Kaplan screaming into the microphone on a daily basis just destroys the show. It’s all about him. Constantly. Loud mouth blowhard. No thanks.
