Customer Reviews
Best Podcast in the World
I took Matthews great information and won my fantasy football league twice. And you’ve got to love Conner Rogers too
Berry is the man, but…
I started listening to this podcast, following Mathew Berry from the ESPN fantasy football podcast. I still love Berry’s advice and content, I’m just sick of Croucher trying to play the Field Yates role, piling onto Berry’s, often self-deprecating jokes. Croucher is not funny and he comes across as an arrogant d…che when he tries to puts down the headliner of the show. Let the guy who used to write jokes for sitcoms do the comedy and stick to the football.
Levels are off
You guys need to get your levels corrected, the variance in volume from one person to the next is huge. Since I listen at work, I tend to not listen to your podcast because in order to be able to hear I need to have the volume way up and then the volume fluctuates and has super loud moments
