Customer Reviews
Incredible podcast!
My name is Quinn and I am an 11 year old die hard Broncos fan that adores football from Las Vegas (although it does lose its novelty once you live there for a long time). I absolutely adore you’re podcast, it is so fun and truly brings a smile to my face. Mohan and graver are incredible too. You’re opinions on this podcast are some of the best and unlike other sports podcasts you acknowledge what’s happening in the real world as well. I only have one complaint. And that is recently, especially when you have episodes that are only 16 minutes long, it feels lazy. You guys have had some incredible ideas, like Mohan’s minute, but they are not being carried out as they should be. Maybe I’m just being impatient and there’s more in store. So if that’s the case, I’m so happy you get to prove me long. I also am not oblivious to the fact you have been traveling a lot recently, so I understand if that’s factoring into it. Other than that, this podcast is incredible, and I listen to it the day it comes out every week. If by some miracle you read this, thank you all for being an amazing source of not only football news, but laughter and relatability if that’s even a word. I love you guys and keep up the great work! 👍❤️
Edit: did the pod get cancelled?
Bring back Bonnetta!
I know she was let go from NFL Network, but please bring her back. She was the only relatable and entertaining female y’all had on staff. A combo not achieved by the others except maybe Colleen Wolfe. For the rest of us women who are diehard NFL fans, we want to watch or listen to another woman who actually knows what they’re talking about and not just reading a script. You had that in Rachel, and you let her go. Not a smart move.
Good podcast
These simps r crazy
