I do adore how much Charles pisses off NFL internet sometimes and he’s usually right. Great show Edit: hey boys tell your overlords at Yahoo sports that no one cares what AI thinks about football and cut that segment entirely from your show. Get it out of there
Ethan Burke

Love you guys. Great show. I don’t have socials so this is the only way I can reach out. Could y’all take a look at Texas EDGE Ethan Burke. He wasn’t invited to the combine but as someone who has watched him for years and he has the measurables of a long term nfl player, I would just like to know what y’all think of him. Thanks!
Not particularly great but not terrible either

It’s not a bad show and Nate is generally pleasant and informative, but his two alternating co-hosts are insufferable. I avoid all episodes with Charles in particular, who had the audacity to claim that the only difference between Vrabel and Mayo was injury luck. Nate is clearly non-confrontational to the extreme so having to deal with two arrogant personalities ends up leading to an endless stream of “I agree” and unwarranted fake laughter.
