4.5 out of 5 stars from 307 ratings
  • Boyd is almost unbearable

    When Keffer left it obviously went downhill, but, wow this dude just doesnt know football, or is at least trying to learn football while giving us his “professional opinion”. He spews obvious analysis that any dude on the couch knows. No insightful or unique perspectives, no inside info, or any top notch X’s and O’s talk… Im sorry but I gota give up on this podcast.

  • Replacing Holder w/ a football novice.

    Has ruined this pod. 3.5 stars simply because Keefers name is attached. You cannot replace Steven Holder with someone that doesn’t know football. I’m glad he admits it, because it is obvious.

  • Forgotten and Abandoned

    I was a big fan of this podcast during its debut year. Keefer and Holder were fantastic at reporting insightful, thoughtful and entertaining news updates about the Colts. This was one of my go to news sources for the Colts.

    After the departure of Keefer and Holder it seems the Athletic also departed from this podcast (See name change that is always, but never coming soon). The quality of the content has dropped as hard as this project was dropped onto Boyds lap. I recently tuned in to listen ... more

  • zombie pod

    3 star pod with keefer and boyd. without keefer it’s unlistenable, zero in depth analysis. just talking about different players and overarching franchise stories. don’t trust boyd’s opinion on football at all.

  • Without Zach the pod is dead

    When Zach was on the pod it was really good (the best colts podcast) but when he left there barely even acknowledged it. Now the podcast is boring and uninteresting.
