  • Best Buffalo Bills Analysis

    Joe B is the man. I appreciate his fair and carefully thought out analysis on my favorite team. He’s done an awesome job as both a co-host previously and now that he’s dropped the dead weight of both Matthews, he’s skilled at recording well-paced monologues of original and intelligent takes. Appreciate ya Joe!

  • Tough listen

    I have been listening to this podcast for about 6 months now and I will continue to listen as decent Bills content is rare. I hear other members of the media that occupy the Bills space say great things about Joe, but man he is not a gifted speaker. I get lost in my thoughts listening to him done on. It helps a little if I put him on 1.25 speed. I would consider adding a second personality to the pod.
