  • Souhan is close minded

    I listen regularly for the sports talk but the way Jim talks about those he disagrees with on certain issues is almost too much to bear. Any figure who questions liberal beliefs is the devil to him and he is quick to label them as terrible human beings.

  • Kirk’s fan boys

    Guys, the content is fine but your constant insistence that the team continue to give top dollar to a QB who has won one playoff game with elite offensive talent is old. Have you seen how open the wide receivers have been over the past eight weeks? A good backup could get them the ball. They still have $28M in dead cap to account for. You realize that doesn’t just go away because they resign him, right? I don’t think you do for how you two speak.

  • Sneaky Ads

    Put your ads at the front of the podcast like most of the great podcasters rather than sneaking them in the middle of a sentence. So maddening! Keep your political crap to yourself you’re as bad as CNN!

  • Look guys

    Completely outed yourselves as leftists shills now. Everything from bleating on about the new black panther communist Colin Kaepernick being treated unfairly then turn around and dredge up the past of a born again Christian Herschel Walker to attempting to undermine the 2nd amendment, which is the last line of defense against a tyrannical government, which we have right now. No one should be taking you guys seriously.

  • Souhan gets political all the time…pass.

    Souhan takes every chance he can to throw in unnecessary political commentary….as leftists can’t resist doing. We don’t turn on sports podcasts for this.
