I hope Connor sticks as host. He is a great transition from Ahamed, who was great too. Offers something a bit different but retains the same type of show with great chemistry. It’s been my favorite podcast and will continue to be so.

I like how Conner brings his own analysis that often aligns with Chris, but sometimes differs. I trust that Conner knows what he’s talking about too! Good addition to the show!

Simms (ex-College superstar and NFL QB) and his various co-hosts are hysterical, well informed, and unbelievably accurate in their insights, assessments, and predictions. Simms-isms and Homies rule!!

I love the pod and listen every week! I enjoy listening to game break downs through the eyes of a quarterback. One thing that does drive me slightly crazy as a fellow giants fan is I think you go wayyyyyy to easy on Jones… you are usually fast to point out when QBs have good box score numbers but leave tons of plays on the field. I think you can point directly to just that when you talk about the loses to Washington, Dallas and Cincinnati. Between the bad ball placement on deep balls to just making the wrong reads it seems like we should have a much better record of jones could make the throws to the open guys that Dabal is giving him! Thanks if you guys read this! Keep up the great work and I’ll always continue to listen!

If you like overly-confident football analysis, simms has you covered. Pretty representative of contemporary sports media. Moderately ok as background noise but barely worth your time for anything other than filling your day with loudmouth football talking heads.
