“This show used to be great when Jon Miller, formerly of HawkeyeNation, was creating the show with Steve Deace. Without Miller there to keep him in check, Deace injects his politics, moralizing, and smug personality into most discussions. His new co-host is just a lackey, mostly there to ingratiate himself to the host. The Twitter feed, instead of sticking to sports, resorts to politics and criticism of sportswriters - the kind that Deace probably wishes he could be.
It’s unfortunate that this show has declined. It really does fill a void in media coverage of the Big Ten, so dominated by the double pom-pom, can’t-say-anything-critical-about-anyone culture of the Big Ten Network.
But if I have to tune in each week to hear Deace’s political musings, self-loathing Michigan melodrama, and the sycophantic co-host, I’ll pass, as there are many other College Football pods one can enjoy.”
