Duck-scussion with Pac-12 Network's Yogi Roth!
Tyson and Aaron welcome filmmaker, producer, author and Pac-12 analyst, Yogi Roth, to today's pod! Yogi describes preparing for the Pac-12 Coaches' Webinar in the thick of the pandemic and which coach was, surprisingly, the most interesting (1:00). Do Paul Finebaum's comments regarding Pac-12 players transferring to SEC schools, because of safety protocols, have some merit? Yogi explains his indignation for the comments (13:30). Lastly, what are some Pac-12 beats Yogi is excited for and what is Oregon's season outlook (20:30)?

Ducks Drafted Into the NFL!
Welcome back to It Never Rains! Tyson and Aaron deliver a scintillating review of the 2020 NFL Draft that featured a bevy of Oregon Ducks who had the first step of their professional dreams realized. The Ducks Duo discuss Justin Herbert being selected by the Los Angeles Chargers, and how he figures to fit into the organization that's without former incumbent, Phillip Rivers (3:55). Troy Dye, Shane Lemieux and Jake Hanson were all mid to late-round selections; the guys assess the recent draftees' weaknesses, and project how they will fit into their respective NFL teams (8:30). It's time for everyone's favorite post-draft exercise, another way-too-early mock draft! The 2021 Draft will, seemingly, host a lot of current Oregon names, including a potential top-5 pick in Penei Sewell (17:50). Let's dive into episodes three and four of 'The Last Dance' (25:30)!

Gentlemen, you're on the clock - Ty(son) Dolla $ign and Fentress each draft their top-5 all-time Oregon football teams, who will be pitted in a simulation against one another to prove who the best GM and team is (11:10)!

Customer Reviews
A shockingly bad product from a great outlet
I love the Athetlic, but this podcast is utter garbage. Aaron Fentress is maaaaaybe the the single most annoying person to ever live? He's definitely up there. I always thought his writing was fine, but after getting a really bad impression after listening to a few episodes of this, I learned from some folks inside the sports journalism world that he's among the most disliked and disregarded people in that biz. Honestly, give two or three of these a listen and you'll see why. The other host, whose writing I also liked before this, always sounds like he either just woke up from a nap or is on the verge of taking a nap. It's almost unlistenable. Coffee is your friend, dude. I won't cancel my subscription to the Athletic, but they've definitely dropped a few pegs for me. Surely there are better people out there you can hire. The quest for a semi-decent Oregon Ducks podcast continues.
These guys don’t want to be here
Seems like both hosts would rather be doing anything else, especially Fentress. Don’t waste your time with this podcast. They talk more about the hotels and food they get as media members on trips than actual football analysis.
