  • Keeps it real

    I honestly love this show more than the shows they talk about. Having worked in sports and media they are extremely well informed with dialed POVs on the landscape.

  • What a dork

    I was interested in why Rusillo left the ringer so I listened but wow what a loser. Dedicating a show to not liking another show is pure dork behavior.

Q: What direction do you think he's going to go, with the possible free agency scenario?
