Love listening, but the SEC glazing from Damien is a lot. I like a lot of his player insight though!

Pros: Chris and David are actual reporters and decent podcasters. Damien has a voice made for radio. Cons: dear god Damien is only meant for Tuscaloosa radio. He adds nothing but SEC, Bama, Saban worship. Where did he play again?
If you want an ESPN SEC based podcast you found it

This is just another biased sports podcast with the biggest homer of all time Damien Harris, who thinks Saban is God and Alabama is the promised land; wake up bro your god is dead!

David and Chris are great. Damien Harris is a real tough listen. He adds nothing but weird rants and painfully forced hot takes.
