  • Long time listener

    Have been listening to him since the 90s when he was on “that other station.” Still do via this podcast and I’m no longer living in the dmv. Really like all the historical stories and the general insight on everything.

  • Andy Pollee

    I can’t listen to Andy when he is on the radio so the pod is great for me. Nothing beats Andy’s takes and references to events from 40 to 60 years ago. The man can seemless drop Norm Van Brocklin into a discussion about sitting qbs…Not Alex Smith, not Brett Farve…Norm Van Brocklin. That is some deep knowledge that todays youngsters need to learn.

    Andy is a pillar of DC sports talk. Probably the most knowledgeable when it comes to the DC sports history. Keep up the good work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stick That in Your KenPom and Smoke It
Q: How do you explain the unpredictability of tournament time in a conference like the Big Ten?
Experience and depth matter; you lean on veteran staff, manage injuries, and stay adaptable, understanding that matchups and timing can define a season.
All Eyes on Dayton
Q: What makes Miami of Ohio's inclusion in the field defensible beyond the metrics?
There is a compelling human element and Cinderella appeal that supports their inclusion, but the argument also hinges on recognizing that the committee sometimes weighs storylines and perceived narrative in addition to pure metrics.
Jeremiyah Love at #7?
Q: Why is the medical evaluation at the combine emphasized as crucial?
The doctors and analysts stress that medical data can reveal long-term durability and risk, often affecting draft stock more than on-field drills, because it identifies hidden issues that could impact investments in a top-10 pick.
Jeremiyah Love at #7?
Q: What are the factors that might influence the decision to draft a running back at seven?
Dan Quinn and Rich Eisen frame the choice as balancing positional need with best player available, considering a high-impact running back like Jeremiyah Love if he is the top talent and if it fits the overall defensive/offensive plan.
USA!
Q: What was going through your mind when you saw the American flag raised to the rafters?
So much. It still hasn't truthfully sunk in.
