  • Great Podcast

    Love the podcast. The hosts are knowledgeable but do not talk down to people like some other podcasts do. The topics are well researched and reasoned with the splash of feelings over spilling occasionally which is why we are fans. The conversation flows well and does not contain inside jokes only the host would get and they leave their personal feels on non sports topics off the podcast. Great listen and I always laugh when Eric get a little animated at times
