- Moving on
I have been listening to Jeff for close to 10 years. I nearly gave up on Sirius after Howard lost his edge. But Jeff kept me there for a couple more years. But the adds on the show take up so much of the show. I was paying to get advertised to. I moved to this podcast, but the ads here are take up so much of each episode, it is just not worth my time.

The podcast is only 24 minutes. And that is only 14 minutes and 15 seconds of actual podcast. 6 minutes and 45 seconds of commercials. No thanks. Doesn’t even give that good information in the small amount of time.

Yo Jeff! You’re the best. I love the thoughtful insights and the organic nature of answering all your emails on first read as you record.
Your football strategy info and not just spouting rankings is unmatched
Apple Podcasts5Andrew Oregon Bengals fanUnited States4 months ago - Sharp and succinct
A good complement to the Sirius/XM radio show and the FTN subscriber Discord site. An interesting topic for the offseason would be a run through of all the stats tools.
Apple Podcasts5Lec124United Statesa year ago - Concise Yet Thorough
Jeff’s my go to for fantasy. I dropped nearly all other fantasy football podcasts because they were too long or the hosts banter unnecessarily too much. Jeff keeps his episodes to 15-20 minutes but gets through all you need for waivers, starters, risers, etc. and he provides common sense advice fantasy players might forget when desperate. I pride myself on being a smart fantasy player and maybe it’s just a coincidence, but ever since Jeff became my primary fantasy fb pod, I’ve gone 10-4 and 11-3... more
