  • Do Better…

    This podcast offers little to nothing of information heading into the games on Sundays. Very vanilla & boring. Podcast very much like the team they cover. Embarrassing

  • Barely skin and bones

    This podcast really offers nothing of substance. They put in their 12-15 minutes a week and provide no fresh insights.

    Too often Vinny stumbles to find the right words to complete a thought. Fortunately Ed is there to finish them. But they’re mirror images of themselves and offer no differing opinions.

    Podcast needs more of Adam Hill’s contrarian viewpoints. Wouldn’t fix much but it would be a step in the right direction.

    And get rid of the 12 minute commercial for the casino every week. Just... more

  • More Adam Hill and Vinnie

    This was a much better show with this contrast of Mr. Positivity vs cynical beat writer. Please have these two co host more often.

  • Adam who?

    We don't care about your football economics, why don't you let Vinny talk? Quit acting like you know everything. Your stat commando attitude is only part of the story. Check yourself brother quit being so single minded. I didn't even finish listening to the draft preview show because you sounded like a moron. That is not you wake up....you know football better than that. Quit getting sucked into the stat world.

    Vinny is great, Heidi is meh and Sam needs to cut down on the caffeine and take a few breaths while speaking.
