Day Old Donuts
The NFL moves at a lightning pace and this podcast is so infrequent that it’s like continuously being served day old donuts!
Get in the game!!!
Show is no longer any good
I was a long time listener and listened to each show. I used to appreciate Evans takes on all things Raider. BUT I have been super disappointed in the way Evan handled the news that AP was named head coach. He took shots at the fans that were happy about it and called him “your coach now” and basically acted like a petulant child. I will no longer be listening to this fake fan anymore. You reap what you sow Evan.
Honest takes from Evan
Good insights and honest takes by Evan. Keep up the good work!
