Customer Reviews
Are you out of your mind?
Just read a review that said Ryan is great and they needed to draft him a new partner instead of Rick Spielman. On top of that Ryan was crowing about his dollar bet victory over Rick with a conclusion that his victory shows that he is just as smart as NFL professionals. The ONLY reason to listen to this show is the actual information that Rick Spielman is able to share with the audience. The format of the show is amusing but without Rick this is just another show with another “know nothing” talking head saying random controversial nonsense about the NFL. Listen to the show! Rick actually makes you smarter about the NFL and the NFL draft process.
A must listen for NFL fans
Always stoked for a new episode. It’s very cool to learn how things really work in the NFL, especially around draft season. Rick is awesome.
Ryan is great
With the first pick I hope Deebo drafts Ryan a new partner. Rick is like a pompous Teddy Ruxpin that only has the starter cassette.
