  • Best local sport podcast

    For whatever reason every other local cinci podcast sounds like it’s being broadcast out of a tin can.. This podcast has great production value, both voices are unique and they don’t just agree with everything which keeps it interesting. Only note is I wish it was still Rick and Skinny on the bengals recap episodes, no offense to whoever the new guy is on those but not the same without Rick.

  • Solid Podcast, but...

    Could clearly use another voice on the podcast. The coverage about Brennan leaving UC been so bad. Rick blamed it on players being lazy and kids being too soft. I get Ricks got a little NKU homerism, but come on.

    Several weeks back Skinny claimed this may lead to Fickell leaving because of how poorly the AD had handled the situation. It was a horrible take in the moment and aging poorly. Now UCs AD has made a home run hire and everyone at UC has moved on.

    Just add someone who is at least ne... more

  • Unsubscribing

    Listened to this for a while, even after Chad wasn’t a regular thing. The clear bias against UC and their athletic department became more and more obnoxious with each episode, to the point I’m unsubscribing and leaving a review. Couldn’t deal with it anymore. UC fans, find another podcast.

  • Great podcast & chemistry... but....

    Rick needs to chill out during the Ask Skinny segment. You’d think it was Ask Rick, lol. Rick ends up giving his answers that are 2x as long as Skinny’s. On this weeks for example, the ranking of 12 insufferable things, we didn’t even get Skinny’s final rankings. Rick took over and ranked them how he would, and Skinny was trying to interject but Rick kept blabbing on with his takes. It’s #AskSkinny. Not #AskRick

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Who should Bengals be targeting as NFL free agency opens?
Q: Could the Bengals pursue a high-priced edge rusher or sign a veteran safety early?
Yes, but only if the price is right and they can offset the cost with other cap-saving moves; the discussion centers on avoiding overpayting for aging players and instead targeting affordable rotational options who can contribute immediately.
Who should Bengals be targeting as NFL free agency opens?
Q: What are the Bengals' top priorities in free agency this year?
Skinner emphasizes interior pass rush, a veteran starting-caliber safety, and rotational edge help, while noting the need for depth at linebacker and a swing tackle; cap space will constrain how aggressive they can be, so they'll likely balance high-impact targets with affordable backups.

Q: Do conference tournaments have value still outside of the power for conferences?
It's a revenue generator, but in one-bid leagues, the intensity of those tournaments is really what keeps people glued to the games.
