Pronman

bridgeseller

I enjoy most of the hosts, but Pronman comes off as extremely arrogant. He is hard to listen to. Also, his seeming feud with Adam Fox makes any criticism of him hard to take seriously. Also, the NYT ads that NEVER talk about the paper being a source of news is not a good look.
I sincerly thank you

NHL All Star John Scott

Pronman, Pittsburgh super fans and a rotating cast of other hosts share some truly baffling opinions about a sport they don’t seem to really follow all that closely. 90% of the content seems targeted at “triggering” big market / original 6 fan bases with hot takes and recency bias. The only episodes I can stand to listen to are DGB, Sean, & Frankie otherwise this podcast is hot garbage.
Is Dom’s model the Bible?

Goon Squad Captain

It’s interesting conversation but listening to these Division preview shows. I just disagree with a lot of it. Do you you factor anything in other than Dom’s Model? Does anything not boil down 100% to Analytics. After the season I hope you all go back and review these predictions
