Why does the dude think anyone wants to hear him talk in that baby voice to go to commercial or that hyped up stupid voice to introduce the show and sign off. It’s incredibly annoying.
Great analysis

I just listened to this show for the first time and it’s very well done. Chris and Damien are both very knowledgeable and not afraid to drop criticisms without sounding like they’re desperately seeking attention like so many others in sports media today. Definitely a new follower and probably this is probably my go to show for CFB now.

Fricase master

Used to be a good show with Ari. Lazy analysis, and unfortunately hosts lack personality. Love The Athletic but this show is a miss

This has gotten so bad the last few years. Used to be good when it was the A.S.S. Even was fine with Ari. Now it’s just three dudes who all think they’re the smartest person in the room, who all have terrible opinions and even worse chemistry. Can’t even tell what the content is half the time cuz it’s one person or the other just talking over everyone else.
