  • THE BEST college sports show available!

    KSR has been a staple of my daily life for 10+years. Now my son and wife are daily listeners and we all love the variety. Please don’t ever “stick to sports” (IYKYK). God bless the BBN

    Please Stop adding Cover Zero episodes on my KSR feed. If it happens again, I will write a Bad Review and give KSR a 1 star rating. Thanks

    Why would you ask people to listen to your NFL pod when you brag about not knowing anything about the NFL?

  • Matt’s ridiculous JMI take

    Listening to Matt Jones’ critique of the new JMI deal would have been laughable if it wasn’t so vomit inducing. It was 100% personal. He’s mad about the amount of access JMI gives his personal brand. That has zero, I repeat, ZERO to do with JMI’s capability to do the job. The amount of people in this state that hang on to this guy’s every word and obvious propaganda is sickening.

  • Stop the Call Ins

    If you’re trying to get the temperature of the fanbase on this Vince news, you can’t say they’re wrong when they call in and don’t say what Matt wants them to. It sinks the whole show when Matt won’t let coherent people finish what they have to say before he jumps in with what he assumes they’re trying to say or tells them their opinion is wrong. Y’all might as well not have it be a call in show if you’re not going to let people finish their point, whether you agree with it or not.
