Customer Reviews
Greatest analysis plus good fun
He’s the best Vikings coverage with wide ranging topics. Nothing boring here. You can tell he works his tail off trying to bring us great content.
Good, but…
I really enjoy your podcast. But there is one thing that keeps bothering me. Maybe this is my Vikings bias, but you need to stop acting like Jordan love and the Packers have fully arrived. They got hot towards the end of the season, but then, in the biggest moment, Jordan Love threw some terrible interceptions. He might be good, but there is no way you or anyone else knows that yet. To declare that he’s their “franchise QB” is silly. You never pass judgment on Vikings players without a large sample size, so why would you do it for other teams? To me, he looks like he’s about to become another Kirk cousins. Good stats, but they’re gonna have to pay him way too much, and he has wilted when the pressure was on.
Decent contact, 3rd grade verbal skills
It’s “like” a “like” decent podcast. “Like” the hosts are “like” knowledgeable, but “like” speak at a “like” 3rd grade level. Makes it “like” a very hard listen…”like” think, formulate and communicate clearly…
