Rob does a good job of sharing factional information and giving highly educated opinions. A good show where the host doesn’t strive to be contrarian but really looks to call balls and strikes. Always a good listen for someone like me who listens to a lot of different Niners content creators on the regular.
Good stuff

I found this podcast a few months ago and it’s become one of my must listen. Enjoy the insight and commentary. Heck even learning about radioactivity 😂. What more can you want in a Niners podcast! As far Garrett - being huge niner fan and being a Brown’s season ticket holder for a 25+ years - I would hate to loose Myles but would be over the moon to see him in SF. He deserves an opportunity and the Browns have once again botched their future. One thing to consider he’s not getting traded with in the division so Bengals would be out. Finally not sure where the web page got those nicknames but no one calls him that 😂😂. His fondness for dinosaurs has led to Jurassic Myles or T Rex. Keep up the great work!!!
Best Podcast!

Rob does a great job at keeping things interesting each week, articulating what’s current, and he’s always entertaining to listen to (has a sense of humor, too). Hands down my favorite podcast.
Love the show
