The Pessimistic Goats of podcasting

Cade played with team USA dominating the senior team, literally dissecting them like usual and we find away to talk about that for 10 minutes…. Now back to our “realistic doom and gloom program.” You guys are great at what you do and you embody a good portion of Detroit sports fans. Can’t be disappointed if you expect nothing.
Poor podcast

These guys seem like they have good intentions but they aren’t very knowledgeable about basketball.
Great podcast “BUT”

Recommending Jaden Ivey goes to a ICP wrestling show is one way to make sure Ivey leaves the Pistons. Keep ICP away from Ivey at all cost
