Customer Reviews
One of my favorite podcast shows of all time!!
I look forward to Tuesday’s every week. I love the analytics based sport talk, mixed with interesting sports takes, and lovable personalities. I really connect with the host Sara Ziegler, as she knows what it’s like to be a fan of a heart wrenching team and handles that pains that brings with grace. (Go twins)
Smart Commentary
Sara Ziegler is from South Dakota. Five stars.
Love the show
Do you guys think the refs in the NBA are worse, or do you think that there are just more people watching the games? I feel like I’m seeing more complaints than usual.
