- Why are we doing offseason podcasts in week 3 of NFL season
We have actual nfl football being played and were doing hypothetical re-drafts surrounding injured qbs? Now what could prompt such a ridiculous exercise at such an odd time? This could have been done anytime before or after the season or even midseason if you really need to have it for some reason. After week 3 is obvious that its the perfect moment for a “take”.

Content was informative but the talking over one another, mainly just the one offender made me turn it off halfway through.. very unprofessional.
Apple Podcasts3Buc fan in CharlotteUnited States6 months ago - Thank you!
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.
