  • Dry. Dry. Dry.

    Finally a morning show to go with my dry toast. When this show lost Mully, it lost all the energy. I’ll check out Biggs time, but that’s it.

  • No talent

    Firing Mully and taking David off the morning show was a horrible decision with no talent lined up to fill in. Completely unlistenable now.

  • Great show love

    Not gonna lie, ESPN 1000 member watch all the shows every day but I started listening the show mostly for Brad Biggs inside an information in about Bears but then started following David and Mully and and listen to every segment and show great show, but for the love of God, please stop bringing it in Gabe Ramirez. He is horrible. His insight is garbage. It makes it show. It makes me not want to listen. That’s how bad it is
