  • Too many ads, too often

    Really like the long form interviews that Jim Rome does with athletes, coaches and sports media. There are, however, way too many ads. They are played every five minutes, or so it seems. Sometimes after Jim asks a question, an ad is played before the answer to his question. They should be played in a group once or twice during an interview. Other than that, I would recommend this podcast.

431 - Jim McMahon - 10/21/2026
Q: Given that collection of talent, did you think that you would get many more chances?

430 - Lars Anderson - 10/14/2026
Q: If little Tommy was the worst athlete in his own family, how did that ultimately affect him and impact him?
Anderson says Brady was slow, often picked last, and sometimes bullied, while his athletic sisters received attention. He believes sports became a way for Brady to gain acceptance and recognition.
430 - Lars Anderson - 10/14/2026
Q: Ultimately, what did you find out? Who is this guy really?

428 - Ricky Waters - 9/30/2026
Q: What drove your mindset during injuries and adversity early in your career?
