Customer Reviews
Love Jay Harris
I’d listen to him talk about anything and this is really well done
Try to come up with the original idea
Crime in Sports is absolutely better than this, more entertaining better research and the host just overall more engaging. It’s a shame that people can’t come up with an original idea and just have to repackage looking at sports criminals.
Love love
Great stories told well!
