  • Great show but the ads

    Ugh the only reason I consistently don’t listen is the amount of commercials.

    Used to love the show until Jason started shilling betting platforms and spamming adds for half of it

    I cannot stand his takes and he is an absolute weasel. Cowherd needs to replace him on the Herd with John Middlekauf, ASAP

  • Little clown show

    Used to like the guy. Not a good podcaster though and dodges his bad takes and predictions. Just a tiny little weasel with a very punchable face. If I could give zero stars, I would.

Straight Fire - Messi's World Cup Hat Trick + Former USMNT star Eric Wynalda
Q: I just wondered, in your experiences, are the coaches tinkering a lot in the friendlies and the World Cup run-up, and then totally changing their game plan, seeing what had worked and what didn't, and combining stuff?
Yes, there has been a lot of tinkering to refine system and personnel, with a focus on keeping flexibility and integrating newer players into a confident, adaptable approach.
Straight Fire - NFL Season Preview with professional sports bettor Adam Chernoff
Q: Where are you on Caleb Williams?
There's upside with Williams given the coaching and campus culture shifts, but there's also substantial change and turnover to manage in year two, so the upside is real but not guaranteed.

Q: What number did you get the under at?
