MINECRAFT BABY
DO YAL PLAY MINECRAFT?
Boyd is almost unbearable
When Keffer left it obviously went downhill, but, wow this dude just doesnt know football, or is at least trying to learn football while giving us his “professional opinion”. He spews obvious analysis that any dude on the couch knows. No insightful or unique perspectives, no inside info, or any top notch X’s and O’s talk… Im sorry but I gota give up on this podcast.
Forgotten and Abandoned
I was a big fan of this podcast during its debut year. Keefer and Holder were fantastic at reporting insightful, thoughtful and entertaining news updates about the Colts. This was one of my go to news sources for the Colts.
After the departure of Keefer and Holder it seems the Athletic also departed from this podcast (See name change that is always, but never coming soon). The quality of the content has dropped as hard as this project was dropped onto Boyds lap. I recently tuned in to listen to the reaction from Ballards recent presser and was disappointed at the bias and shallow takes by this podcast. Free Boyd from whatever requirement is forcing the Athletic to keep this content running.
