  • Informative and well executed

    I listened to the most recent episode regarding NFL preview. Cade Massey did an outstanding job leading the discussion. Many podcasts I listen to the host tends to babble on rather than commenting and getting to the point. Massey does a great job of not doing that. You can tell their information is well researched and backed by strong analytics.
