Last week she told us “there’s no way the KC vs Baltimore game would get to 24m”. Didn’t give a reason, just threw it out there… it hit 33m. Total clown. Stick to sideline reporting.

Show was much better when Andrew and John were hosts. Austin is okay but Mollie’s voice and opinions are a tough listen. Sorry

New hosts are way too vanilla. Not nearly as engaging as O & M. Also not sure why they got rid of whos up whos down segment that was the best part.
