I followed over from PFF, and I really like your guys stuff; the one reason I’m giving it 4 stars vs 5 is because sometimes when y’all are doing “week reviews”, it gets really drug out, and we spend 20 minutes talking about Patriots V Jets… Other than that, great show, keep it up!

I am glad to see the podcast is basically unchanged. I have been listening since 2019 and really enjoy it. Well reasoned analysis and arguments.Even if you don’t agree with everything at least it’s rational and not just throwing out crazy takes to drive ratings and traffic like too many voices in sports media. Keep up the great work guys.
One question, who was the QB Sam said played like Jimmy Garroppolo got hit in the head and woke up believing he was Josh Allen? One of the best descriptions I’ve ever heard but can’t remember who he was referring to. Thanks!

I have enjoyed listening to these dudes go deep on ball for years and they still have it, just in a new spot. If you want smart football talk—as opposed to loud football talk—you’ve come to the right place.
ZenmasterMiller · Sep 2024
A year ago I’d be asking for a year of PFF premium at a steep discount for a positive review but…seems unlikely now. So out of the goodness of my heart with no ulterior motives.
As a Steelers fan, it’s amazing to have a podcast to listen to that doesn’t just accept that 1970’s football was peak. It’s such a joy to hear data driven thoughtful analysis. Love to listen to Sam and (GINORMOUS) professionals athlete Steve, and wish I could pick like Harry.
It’s amazing to hear intelligent conversation that pushes the game forward. Honest, unflinching and with a nice sprinkle of humor and humility. Hope the guys flourish on the new platform.
