  • You go, girls!

    It’s so great to hear two women, talking football and really knowing what they’re talking about, but seeing it through female eyes. Not that I’ve got anything against guys talking ball, but listening to Ricky Hollywood and Connie Fox (to use their Around the NFL nicknames) is like listening to my friends.

    Come back soon … please!!
