Big fan of the pod. So pleased you both are back together. Thoughtful, interesting journalism. These guys are the reason I subscribe to the Athletic. The writing and the podcast are both excellent.
…and the recent (May 2022) podcast on NIL was spectacular.
Great podcast
Love the pod but where was the UM vs Iowa preview this week? I was very surprised to see so much discussion of the CFB coaching carousel.
LET BRENDAN TALK!
This could be a great pod if Nick would stop talking over Brendan. This pod has turned into a 60-minute rant by Nick. There isn’t any back and forth conversation anymore, just Nick spouting off. And, hoo boy, some of his basketball takes are bad.
