Love your podcast, am working through every episode on the treadmill in the mornings, the time flies! Would love to hear your take on Dave Stieb.
Great podcast would love to hear a story about Kevin Maas or Shane Spencer, or Mel Hal. Keep up the good work.
Excessive and unnecessary profanity. Your stories would be just as good without it.
Every week, this podcast unleashes the awesome in past sports years. It gives us the sensational and the sublime. I also read a couple of his books and I have a lot
of respect for the writer as a person from what little I know. It’s opinionated. It’s raw but it’s as real as it gets.
Great stories that are very timely. However the f-bombs get tiring and old. I would rate this show higher if Jeff would be more professional and stop it with the language.
