Content was informative but the talking over one another, mainly just the one offender made me turn it off halfway through.. very unprofessional.

So many podcasts are a bunch of dudes who seem to agree on everything. The Pete Prisco episode and actual disagreement on key players was super helpful. I know there will be some agreement but even playing devils advocate when there is a lot of agreement is helpful. Really, really enjoyed it.

There are times the content is really good. And then there are times that the hosts forget that there’s also a contingent of people who are listening to this on a podcast. silence while you’re clicking around on a draft simulator for 30 seconds is not great content.
