  • Reusse is done

    Patrick Reusse’s sardonic whining may be attractive to certain a certain demographic of angry 70 year old white men, but it annoying to everyone else. As soon as I see he a guest on a Podcast to gets immediately deleted. There is a nice fishing boat on a crystal clear lake waiting for him as he releases form past glories and moves on with his life.

  • Unchain Reusse - From this Pod Chain

    Patrick did nothing wrong. Brass monkey may be the beasties worst song. He was right on the money, but this is an opportunity to make something great closer to perfection. Send Reusse packing. This is your best chance to separate him from your collection of podcasts. Do it now. You’ll thank yourselves later.

  • Love The Show

    Love the show and all that Mackey and Judd bring to Minnesota sports. I’m just a Vikings fan from Michigan, so I come here just get a little extra Vikings content. But for the life of me, I cannot stand Reusse. His voice and opinions are distasteful sometimes. I am so sorry lol.
