3.5 out of 5 stars from 121 ratings
  • From 1 star to new rating

    Gave this a 1 star initially after Mark Long’s comments at a Billy presser. Have continued to listen and they’ve grown on me. They don’t sugar coat.

If you want a fun and goofy pod, this isn’t for you. 2 accomplished reporters with loads of experience throwing out facts and their opinions.

  • My Go-To Gator Podcast

    This is my go-to Gator Podcast. Edgar and Mark are two of the best real reporters on the beat. They have great sources and know the insiders giving them info to break stories. The format is excellent and it's easy to listen to. I also enjoy the weekly discussion about the lesser known sports during the Foley's Corner segment. Keep it coming guys!

  • You said people hate you because of a 3.8 average rating

    It’s not because of the content of the podcast. It’s because you deliver every single story in such a negative manner that it turns people off. Not saying you have to be a sunshine pumper or do every show with orange and blue glasses on. Just try not to be so negative all the time.
