  • Get rid of the cringe guy

    DK and Craig are great! The other dude is straight hotdog water. He is just too emotional and feminine for a football show.

  • Very little Football content…

    “3 guys on a morning radio show” podcast…. 2.5 hours of every topic but maybe 30 mins (generally) of football content, but every topic covered: movies, energy drinks, breakfast items, old timers, a lot Lots of comedy, like I said, they start out talking 🏈 but the conversation quickly turns to ….. 🤷🏻‍♀️ listen for the entertainment value, but not for any serious fantasy content…

There are other pods to go to for deeper numbers, and film based analysis. If you’re looking for the “why” and “how” instead of take after take, this isn’t the pod for you. This is a fantasy, and unfortunately gambling, talk show. These guys do what they do, and they do it well. Not thrilled with the ... more
