  • Ralph brings nothing

    It amazes me how often podcasts break what actually works. The old audible was a good show. Ralph just isn’t a good fit for the podcast. It’s an odd fit with zero chemistry. Andy Staples went through this when they broke him and Ari up and it just didn’t work. This isn’t working either.

  • Ralph a bit too nerdy

    Everyone knows Stew is the (somewhat irritable) bad boy of this podcast. Mandel has always been a “cool nerd” of sorts with a nice grovely voice..but Russo is a total goober and has officially tipped the nerd scales of this podcast

  • Chemistry is off now

    This was once my favorite CFB listen, but the addition of Ralph has thrown off the chemistry a ton. Not sure what Ralph adds as a full time contributor. He was a nice occasional guest, but doesn’t seem to have the chops to

    be a permanent third member. Isn’t interested in talking coaching carousel with 1/9th of the sport open??
