ESPN Used to Mean Sports

This podcast has lost its way. ESPN publishing a series about a rapper just because he was close friends with some NBA players is just… not what this series is supposed to be about. This should focus on athletes, franchises, owners, coaches, etc.

The King of Crenshaw episodes just aren’t about sports, which is too bad.

Excellent Podcast

Finally back to an awesome podcast. The last series was horrible, deleted most episodes as soon as they appeared.
