  • Hate the patreon

    Seems odd to me the loyal fans are being ‘ forced ‘ to subscribe for more content when the model for years was to have multiple shows to watch a week. In my opinion the patreon should be for extra content not the normal. Miss the old format

Drew struggles a lot trying to make his points (especially with NBA) and will eventually just agree with one ... more
