Not Like the other Podcasts

A great podcast where Jeff’s abuse of Mike is occasionally interrupted by Spurs analysis and info.

New Player Nickname

Thx guys. I’m enjoying the podcasts. I’m proposing a Tre Jones nickname.
“SNEAKY JONES”
He seems to be in plays you don’t expect because he’s so quick!

Do you care about your “Readers”?

Good podcast, treat listeners like imbeciles. I understand the average nba listener has gaps in knowledge about certain intricacies, but there’s always insults to the audience. What gives? The disrespect and acting like you’re above your job is laughable.
