What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The new trio got off to a rocky start but they are growing into their roles. Tom brings great original reporting and pedigree. Sheil is very relatable and observant. Billy is a goofball who is growing on me with his unexpected takes. I still miss Nora and Steven on the pod

A Bucs Lyfe · Oct 2026

Keeps getting better, love the addition of Tom and Billy as regulars, and Sheil is great as always. My favorite football pod!

ItIsNotChelsea · Sep 2026

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

This show is not up to the standard of Ringer podcasts. Sheil is excellent, knowledgeable and sharp and doesn’t take himself too seriously. Tom seems to be struggling to find a new voice after his old “don’t offend anyone” NFL Network persona. I assume Billy is there for comic relief, but he isn’t very funny. I find the long, meandering set up of his “bits” hard to take.

Pennsylvania Tom · Oct 2026

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.
