Customer Reviews
better rivals is the better podcast ...
2020 Update: The move from SBN is a good one. When SBN started dropping other pods into the feed, it was annoying and dropped the quality of what thy is was.
With Oscar & David moving to BlueWire, this pod can continue without the crap being tacked on.
BetterRivals remains the best 49ers podcast there is, and it’s not really close at this point. Best writers might give certain insights Oscar & David can’t but their approach to looking at the team in unrivalled.
Excellent.
2016: this might be one of the best podcasts on iTunes. that kind of praise might make some nervous but this podcast is that good. if you’re a niners’ fan, or a fan of good quality, in depth, football analysis, there isn’t a better show. the hosts, oscar & david, are exceptional at providing insight into the niners. they break down plays, use quality stats and are prepared to “teach” those who might not understand some of the more tricky concepts.
Update: the loss of David Neumann is clearly a downgrade but the new remains good enough to keep BR as the best Niner podcast around.
Insightful and intelligent podcasting
Oscar is always insightful throughout his podcast with the occasional guests- but particularly love the episodes with the robin (David) to his batman!
