  • Ads Ads Ads

    I get you have to pay the bills. But the amount of ads you pack into your 7-10 min clips is beyond ridiculous. Also, the slow play to add the full hours or full show over the short clips? pretty lame.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hour 1: Why America will always be a second-tier soccer nation
Q: What formation did the U.S. start with, and did that reflect tactical uncertainty?
callers discussed a 3-5-2 setup versus a more attacking 4-3-2-1, suggesting the coach may have shifted tactics or was uncertain how best to approach Belgium at the tournament stage.
Another very cheesy question.
Q: What is something you would order double cheese on?
Doug and Gator discuss pizza and other items where extra cheese enhances the dish, with Doug noting a preference for two different cheeses on a single pizza and Gator weighing in on complementary pairings like feta with mozzarella.
Full Show: How can the Tigers turn it around? Best of AJ, Kenny dress up as an ice cream cone!
Q: What's been the biggest issue with the Tigers this season?
They're dealing with a combination of injuries, underperforming depth, and a lineup that hasn't produced consistently, requiring core players to step up every game.
Is there anything worse than load management?
Q: Is load management prevalent only in the NBA?
No, there are instances of load management in MLB and NHL, but the NBA's practices are most recognized.
Is there anything worse than load management?
Q: What do you think is the worst new thing in sports?
