Top-tier entertainment

Love this podcast!

The various hosts and discussions are great. Sando and Mueller are, naturally, impressive. But I would like to applaud Robert Mays in particular for being enthusiastic and objective for all the teams despite having a favorite team (Bears) and of course, Nate Tice is just so much fun to listen to.

Well done!

If must choose one football pod, choose this!

Great variety of shows during the week. Thorough recaps of the games and lots of details. Being new to NFL, sometimes details are too specific and it’s hard to understand what hosts Robert and Nate are talking about 😃 but still enjoying and learning A LOT.

Football GM episodes with Mike and Randy offers different perspectives to the games and are joy to listen.

Really appreciate you guys for doing amazing work!

Good discussion, bad flow

Robert, you have a chance to be good. Now stop interrupting your guests while they’re talking. It’s distracting, it’s rude, it’s immature.

Work on listening to the people you invite to your show and move past the self-indulgence. Focus on them, not yourself.

Robert
