  • Gotta love The PHNX Sports Podcast (TPSP)

    This weekly podcast recaps the highs, lows, and everything in between for our Arizona sports specifically, and the occasional top storyline of sports at large.

    Makayla and Shawn are beyond entertaining and are exceptionally informative. Don’t let the casual format fool you- they are educated professionals
 they just also like to have fun!

    I look forward to this show every week and I’m never disappointed.

  • Come on man!!

    Like ESPN says
 “Come on man!” I listened to this podcast JUST because of the outlandish comments directed at Patrick Mahomes
 TERRIBLE. The comments are out of line and that’s one thing
 but the podcast isn’t even good!! It’s laughable. Come on man!!
