NBA and Other Sports Topics

Ric Bucher, your last two podcasts have been great. The NBA has been great, but your addition of NFL, Soccer and other current topics was great. Please continue to commentate on current topics of interest. Thanks

I Can Meet Bucher Halfway. He is a Rare Breed

Two times I have left a fair but negative review on this podcast. Two times Ric has responded on his actual podcast, and I just can’t think of many out there that would even begin to care what a listener thinks in the review section, much less quickly respond in a fair way. Ric Bucher is a stand up guy and agree or disagree, he has my 5 Stars moving forward. And personally, I appreciate that that means something to him.

Please stick to almost EXCLUSIVELY NBA

Please stick to almost EXCLUSIVELY NBA. I’d rather not listen to other sport topics and will likely skip those eps or portions of the show.
