  • Started great but now…

    Carm has made show insufferable. Recommend just listening to Hoge and Jahns instead.

  • Best bears podcast

    Great Bears coverage year-round. If you love the Bears or just love football in general and want some more information about the Bears, you will love this podcast! The only issue is the Bears After Dark Podcast as part of this. That is a rough one. Whoever Braggs partners with is extremely negative and just harps on left tackle and defensive line the entire time. He also is very arrogant in terms of I don’t hear any consideration of other ways to think of things.

  • Solid pod but…

    Love most of the pods. If I have to hear the after dark team talk about Braxton and run him down for another hour I might unfollow the entire feed. Find something else to complain about. I think we are all over it.

  • Love Briggs & Brown

    It’s pretty good content until Carm gets the mic. I find myself yelling β€œjust shut up!!” Often when Carm talks. Other hosts need the ability to mute him, often. Carm - Sorry man, I’m sure you are fun to have a beer with, but you are brutal on the mic.
