  • Awesome

    Craig is awesome to listen to, his skills are top notch. Love when he has George from USA Today on wish they could do a little more CFB. Like what Craig pulls out of George. Like it if Craig could do CFB coach interviews so we could get to know these guys.

  • Love all the Sports Animal podcasts

    I love all the sports animal podcast, but for some reason they are the only ones that won't automatically download. It started about 3 months ago, it says there are no new podcasts but then I search in the podcast store and there are new episodes there, the date says dec 2000 so it's not showing up new
