Lefties are Deceptive

Professional approach. I am a high stakes Roto player and the information is actionable. Great job
Zzzz. Give these hosts caffeine

Swingin' Siena

Low energy. Slow paced. Good info that is often used. Hosts or guests often have annoying echo.

Usually a good pod, but just can't stomach any show with Nick Pollack on.

Erickson is incredibly annoying with his lame fantasy baseball nerd circle jokes. Learn to pronounce players’ names correctly, please. In what English language usage is “Marsee” pronounced “Mar-SAY” like he’s a French soccer team? Saying “SCARF” isn’t funny every time you do it. Just go away, let Link or Anderson host the show.
