    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.

  • Clown show

    Just another jabroni that has no football knowledge and tries to get reactions from his garbage takes. A real life troll that hides behind a mic.

  • Used to be a great listen, one of my top. Now it's just alot of commercials with a little bit of talking. It's kind of ridiculous. Won't be listening any more.
