Puig and Coventry Rule

I love this podcast for advice from Mario Puig and Jim Coventry. I can win nearly any league by simply following every word of what those two gentlemen tell me to do
Say his name

04/19/2024

never seen one

I love this show. They give great insight and information. 5 stars for that. But Alan said to his guest “thank you for saying his name, instead of him” I can’t believe how many other shows, don’t do this. That is frustrating. Alan, (hope I’m spelling that right) I owe you a beer.

Wanted to give you 1 star for not talking about Jahiem Bell when talking about TEs. But talk about a bunch of old,mid low ceiling players lol. Also disagree with the Odunze over Nabers take. Give me Nabers > Odunze all day regardless of size. Still 5 stars appreciate your work and pov

Lather, Rinse, Repeat. Over, and over, and over… Asks great pertinent questions, but about 3 or 4 words into the answer from whomever is the guest, SJ just feels the need to jump right in (and over) the answer, to… I dunno, in an abject show of insecurity needing to show off his own knowledge? I would just love to at least once hear what the full answer from any said guest might be. (Interview 1.01: Ask question. Get answer. Follow-up if desired/needed. Simple.)
