“Specifically”

I love this show, it’s a staple in my pod rotation and the best NFL audio content on the internet.

That being said - Robert, for the love of God, please stop saying the word “specifically” at the end of every point you make.

Ok that’s all, love you guys, keep making great content

Great show but…

Great show, I love all the commentary and will definitely miss Nate. But will someone please please please tell Mike and Randy on the GM podcast that it is Amon “RA” St. Brown, not Amon St. Brown. Crazy that they say his name wrong all the time.

Yes, an homage to the real Colts.
