Kool aid

Could not have been more wrong than their opinion about the chiefs. “Bills beat themselves” is the only way they lose. Just one of many wrong assessments.

Decent Sports Pod

A podcast between a guy you’d love to have a beer with (Simon) and a guy that you’d hate to have one with (Chad). Simon’s insights are the best part of the podcast by far, and I’d definitely recommend to anyone following the NFL.
