Customer Reviews
Only Can’t Miss Podcast. Period.
Update: I truly think Femi has come a long way and I am enjoying him (especially since he hasn’t mentioned Fields and Lance as actual NFL players lately). This pod is still the only I never miss and I have turned a ton of people onto it.
Original: Since I discovered this podcast about three years I have never missed an episode. I agree with Mr. Lombardi about 95% of the time because he does something I always stress to people; watch the game with your own eyes not your ears. He is extremely intelligent and quotes so many people and sources. His business acumen is very bang on. I love the fact he was in the league and explains how the game is really viewed behind the scenes. The only criticism I currently have is that Femi seriously needs to go away. He has no clue whatsoever about what he’s talking about. H is always lost and can’t understand 80% of what Mr. Lombardi is saying. Examples are he bet Trey Lance to be MVP. Dude he is essentially a rookie. Name the last rookie to win it all. He just follows the crowd not reality. Once this guy is replaced (even by a ham sandwich) the better off we’ll all be.
Get the names right
Love Lombardi but seriously…Hayden Hooker. His name is Hendon Hooker. Show some respect for the man. Do enough research to at least get his name right.
Why so tight to a clock
I have listens to Mike for years since his days on fox. I listened to his appearance on the Bill Simmons podcast that was a free flowing conversation. On his own show it feels limited by a clock I don’t understand why it feels like you are always up against a clock. Please allow the show to breath
