  • Good podcast

    I love the conversation about MLS fantasy. Discord is hard to get into and not mainstream. Try a different form if you want to grow this.

  • The past few weeks have been bad

    The picks they’ve been making have made no sense. I’ve been ignoring their advice and doing far better than I would have if I had listened. Need more MLS fantasy podcast out there, this can’t be it.

    They still don’t pick the same players that they recommend, brag about their private leagues in which you can’t participate, and clang the keyboard keys non stop.

  • I just can’t listen

    I want to listen to your podcast. As an active fantasy manager the info could be useful to me. It’s just that Ashley, while most likely a lovely person, is a horrible listen. I’m sorry, but as long as she’s part of the program I have to look elsewhere for my fantasy mls advice.

  • Almost perfect.

    Decent product with great nerd references and decent perspective. Downside is how partisan it gets at times. NYCFC and RSL fans remain reasonable throughout. Atlanta United fan proves to be Atlanta United fan and can’t resist his douchier side at times. Try some objectivity, when possible to expand listener base. You may want fans from all of MLS to tune in.
