  • Cm’on man. We’re all thinking it!

    Danny H seems entirely too competitive, thus, he absolutely uses his position to cheat on the numbers game, but is clever enough to use it sparingly. It became clear when he adamantly defended holding onto his role rather than allowing a producer to take over.

    You guys have the best football podcast. You have no rivals.

    I wish DK would talk more about the Seahawks. And when it isn’t Seahawk homer speak, it is just as painful to hear.

  • A Very Entertaining Podcast

    These guys are great, but the show is for a more casual football audience, not for someone looking for legit fantasy advice…

    Case in point, their most recent episode didn’t bring up anything fantasy football related until 23:50. Also they take the easy way out on waiver pickups, mostly discussing players that would not be available in someone’s league that would listen to a fantasy football podcast.

    That being said, these guys are hilarious. If you’re not a ringer podcast listener you might no... more
