Fan for Life

Love this show, hope it never goes off the air. I have used so many products to help me sleep. Nothing works like this show. Usually out within 10 minutes.

In game reporting.

I like love your in game reporting when Tom Leach or Jeff Piecoro need to find out about an injury or a thought from one of the coaches or a sneak peek about what the players attitudes are during an intense or exciting time. I also love it when you see a play happen in front of you and call it as you see it. Makes me feel like I’m on the sideline. Your tonality also helps keep me calm sometimes too.
