Good show!

Always some great content and enjoy the different guests Mina brings to talk football. I’ll have to say, for the recent NFC North preview podcast both host had a whiny tone throughout, especially when talking about the Bears defense. It was really odd.
Delightful and insightful!

A fantastic podcast from one of the brightest minds in the game. Podcast question for Mina: I remember you coming on the LeBatard show in year 2 or 3 of Sam Darnold’s career and talking how you were still in the Sam Hive (I traded way too much in my dynasty league for him based, in part, on this opinion). Did that make last year’s Super Bowl run that much more enjoyable? Or had you changed opinions on Sam?
