Thank you Sumer for existing. We are blessed to have a football analytics company that is both full of talent and engaged with the community. Keep up the good public facing stuff. Shoutout Eric!!

Would rate it 10 stars if I could

This podcast has almost ruined football content for me. After listening to these guys, it’s clear that many of the other guys out there simply do not know what they are talking about.

Wish they would go into more details and talk more specifically instead of in generalities, but a really great listen
