  • Love the pod

    But talking NWSL before the women’s super league or any European soccer finances is pretty wild. We’re happy you’re an American girl dad but I just can’t care when there’s real talent and money in other places around the world

  • Dodgers Rant

    Love your podcast and website. My only note is that your latest episode of the podcast included about a half hour of editorial comments on the Dodgers off-season spending. I’m a Reds fan, just so you know. It just didn’t make for entertaining content. Otherwise keep up the good work and I’ll be listening.

Because of this, anything I see from a “credible” source I double check what Keith has to say about it because he knows the way things work better than any of us online. Listening ... more
