Simply the best

My absolute favorite football pod. Fantasy football is really fun viewed through a real football perspective and the guests are always on point.

Best there is

Download the episode before playing and you will have no issues. Best there is.

Great content, but…

Whatever server this cast is hosted on is not adequate. This cast is much more finnicky in loading and buffering than any others I listen to. Hope they upgrade sometime.

Waksman is the best, though
