  • Fascinating Listen

    Have always loved listening to Donte on the radio and TV, glad he has his own podcast. Miss listening to Rod on KNBR too. Thanks for doing this fellas!

    The Goldson episode is really good. I remember all that, including both Goldson UDUB days and Donte's OSU days.

    I always thought the Niners should have kept Donte, Goldson, Carlos, & TB together, thought they were better than Seattle's DB's always.
