Long time listener love the change back to the longer episodes and this year’s co-hosts are an improvement!

Dirty$Mike · Sep 2026

I discovered this during the NFL season, and quickly found Sheil enjoyable. And the show has become my daily first listen. But the real secret weapon is Billy Gil’s addition!

ItIsNotChelsea · Jan 2026

Very chill show. I really like Diante, Nora and Sheil, they are just kinda relaxed and rational and even if I disagree with them, I think they make their point understood. Nora has done great work covering Rodgers and my behated Jets, and I thank her for that. Hoping to hear her thoughts on their new start post Douglas era. Ruiz’s energy is great, very insightful, and in my book he should be allowed to do him and have a different energy. I do sometimes think he can sound too smug for football prognostication. Anytime someone is even a little smug about something as objectively dumb as football it comes off worse than it really is. Small tweaks nothing big, keep it up!

With Solak gone now, the hosts they have now simply don’t have chemistry with each other. I think they’re all fine analysts, but Solak and Sheil had the best chemistry and best show concept and he seems lost and uninterested in talking with any of the other hosts. There’s no banter or back and forth, they just talk. I’ve started listening to some ESPN pods for the first time ever, following Solak over there, and it’s been a lot better. The Ringer Fantasy Football guys is the chemistry everyone on this show should strive for.

Chaz9614 · Sep 2024

Started and stopped listening this season and this is why: Lee and Ruiz have to stop being such haters, essentially. Jayden Daniels played phenomenally against the Bengals and Cardinals, for instance, and if we excited fans listened to the show to find out why — or at minimum have them acknowledge the fact — all we got instead was them dismissing him and Kingsbury while trying to make their previous takes about them right. But if Caleb Williams throws for 157 yards, because he’s apparently their guy, he’s the next Mahomes. I started listening in hopes of becoming smarter about the NFL, and instead encountered two folks more concerned about convincing us how smart and right they are. And consistent exposure to their “Yeah, but…” take mentality toward seemingly anything positive has become too exhausting for me to continue listening. I don’t mean this to be overly critical and they all seem like great guys and wonderful professionals. That’s not the point. Feedback is important for everyone to improve and this is just my honest review of what I’ve heard since I started listening this season. Hopefully it will get through and best of luck to everyone in the future.

L.E.Dodgers · Sep 2024

I don’t ever leave negative reviews, but I am kinda heart broken by how far this show has fallen over the past few years. I finally unfollowed today. We just wrapped up the NFL regular season and the show is mainly focused on diminishing Myles Garrett’s accomplishment and gossiping about Tom Brady’s love life. This used to be a place where you could come for real NFL analysis and some fun. Now, I don’t even know what this is or what they are trying to do.
