  • Unsubscribing because of fake episodes

    I was open to giving this show a chance and enjoyed the first episodes I listened to. I’m unsubscribing after the first week because of the onslaught of episode clips posted to the feed.

    Incredibly annoying. Zero benefit to the listeners. Just ruins my podcast feed.

    There’s a reason zero other podcasts do this.

Until we see Trapillo in action with the pads we shouldn’t make that assumption.

    Mark seems emotionally scarred by the Gr... more

  • Enjoyable Podcast

    How can there be any talk of not taking any position other than a left tackle in the 1st round?

  • Love it, except…

    Longtime listener, Grote and Dan are great together. Please no more Studz on air. More interviews, and no more little broken up segments that make me think there’s new episodes! Would be 5 stars otherwise.
