  • Scull can’t live another year

    I heard your recent podcast that you can’t live another year with McBean if the Bills don’t win the Super Bowl.

    I’m begging you guys not to commit Suicide!! It’s not the solution. Besides maybe the haters would miss you

  • First 20 minutes

    The first 20 minutes of the show is always the best. The banter is excellent. The rest of the show is great too, but I always like the off-topic amusing way they usually start the show. Great rapport between Schopp and Bulldog. Only critiques are that they should update some of the intros and I hate the random fan call-in segments.

  • Ross

    I’m sure Ross isn’t really that dumb to think the holidays are somehow diminished in CA. Be better Ross. And not so simple, parochial, and frankly offensive.
