Reviews
“Been following Barnwell since the Grantland days, and have always enjoyed his football insights. While the show is still enjoyable, it’s becoming clear that the podcast is a lower priority for Bill as he does more TV hits. Part of that shows in that it’s almost always the same teams being...”Read full review »

“Good content but terrible audio - I can’t turn it up loud enough to hear it half the time, even though the ads are plenty loud. If I can’t hear the podcast, it’s bad.”

“I like the content of this show, but either bill needs to get a new mic or probably more accurately the producer needs to balance this audio better. The podcast audio is noticeably quiet and the commercials, by contrast, BLAST my ear drums every time they come on because I have to have the volume...”Read full review »

“Bill is one of the most objective, level-headed football analysts out there. I appreciate how he can challenge the rigor of his guests’ analysis when he disagrees. Definitely a much-needed balance in a landscape dominated by cohosts exclusively agreeing with each other or its polar opposite,...”Read full review »

“Barnwell has an analytical mind and a precise style that leaves most consensus opinions in the dust. For the take everyone will figure out next week, hear it here first. Numbers and ball don’t lie.”

“Robert Mays and Bill have excellent chemistry and also extensive knowledge about football so not only an informative episode, but very enjoyable to listen to them banter. Love it! Also really appreciated Bill having Danny Kelly on this week.”

“Here after the Super Bowl trying to get into the pod, because Barnwell is the best football writer in the world. Good LORD Dominique Foxworth was a terrible guest. This pod was several tiers below The Athletic and even The Ringer NFL Show, which I didn’t expect. Will give it another shot when he...”Read full review »

“Not sure how a show like this can have such bad audio. This show really offers nothing unique and it seems really phoned in at this point. I’ll listen to it on a slow day if the other stuff in my feed has dried up. Ads are especially annoying on this show too”

“Seems like he barely cares about doing a podcast anymore, like it was included in his contract so he has to do it. Intro music is messed up sound level wise compared to the spoken word volume so it blasts your ears making you lower the volume then you can barely hear him until you turn the volume...”Read full review »

“What happened? I have never heard worse audio in my life. Every first time podcast with $20 for a Walmart mic and no experience at all puts out better audio. Are you seriously just trolling now? Just buy a mic that works. Or produce your audio. Or hire somebody? I am embarrassed for you.”

One note of criticism though: I can’t help but think that this show could be dramatically improved with a canine co-host”

“Barnwell is great, and I really enjoy his insight and analysis. The problem is, the podcast generally feels like it is 10% Barnwell and 90% the opinions of guests, whose opinions I generally don’t care for.”

“When a non espn writer is on- it typically sounds like the person is recording in a trash can. It’s 2019- the sound quality needs to be better.
Also- barn well is analytically inclined- stop having him interview dumber people”
