  • Excitable boy

    Love the show. Love your energy. But please try to dial back the excitement you get and you talk over the guest and we miss facts made by the guest. Please.

  • Great! Ads aren’t great!

    Love listening to Kevin break things down in a humorous and insightful manner. But woof, the ads are rough. Some episodes feel like more advertising content than actual football talk.

  • ESPN getting their money

    Amazing pod. Kevin is one of the best in the biz talking football, but can ESPN not exploit him for a crazy amount of ads for such a short pod? Yeeeesh

  • Insufferably anti-fan

    The 7/25 podcast w/ Gregg Rosenthal encapsulated the worst of this show. Nothing is more annoying than listening to two professional football podcasters lament the annoying takes of fans. Yes, fans are usually annoying. But they are also listening to and commenting on your creative work, the two metrics that justify your jobs. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t get aggravated by terrible fan takes, but you should absolutely not openly complain about it in a “god these people are THE WORST” tone t... more

  • Please stop pretending you know football

    This podcast is extremely cringy. Like yikes. Stop pretending you’re a football guy. You’re a journalist. So awkward.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mike Tannenbaum on Bill Parcells, J.J. McCarthy, the Jets & Chargers
Q: If you're running the Jets on Monday, October 26th, right now, what are you doing?
Tannenbaum would review the process with Eric Glenn, improve short-yardage play calling and end-of-half timeout decisions, and make sure Garrett Wilson is heavily involved.
Mike Tannenbaum on Bill Parcells, J.J. McCarthy, the Jets & Chargers
Q: What have you seen from J.J. McCarthy?
Tannenbaum praises McCarthy's athleticism, composure, pocket comfort, and ability to make NFL throws, and says the Giants can benefit from keeping him alongside Jackson Dart.
Albert Breer on the 2027 NFL Draft and Week 8
Q: What functionally is wrong with the Los Angeles Chargers?
Breer points to an offense that has not established a consistent run game despite substantial investment in the offensive line and running backs. The mismatch between Jim Harbaugh's power-run background and Mike McDaniel's more zone-oriented approach may be part of the problem, alongside injuries.
Albert Breer on the 2027 NFL Draft and Week 8
Q: What's going on with the 2027 draft quarterback class?
Several contenders have struggled or been injured, while Dante Moore's season-ending concussion further weakened the class. Breer says players could rise in the coming weeks, but teams may otherwise reach for quarterbacks early, especially with elite prospects available at other positions.
NFL Gossip Session with Ian Rapoport
Q: What is the story of the season that isn't being talked about enough right now?
Rapoport says the Minnesota Vikings and San Francisco 49ers deserve more attention for how well they are playing.
