  • No More Solak

    Love the show, but please no more Solak talk. I was so happy you got rid of that pretentious never admit when wrong individual. Please stop bringing him up in upcoming shows. Instant ick.

  • Favorite football pod

    This show somehow sometimes has almost nothing to do with fantasy football and yet it’s my favorite football podcast by far, and I pick up plenty of tips during the season for pick ups. Shout out to DK, go Hawks. Great post game analysis too, far more entertaining and insightful then most other pods or TV shows.
