Customer Reviews
Pretty Darn Good, if not Great Anymore
I love Mel, the Godfather of the draft. He’s an icon within the NFL draft culture. Still at the top of his game and worth listening for him alone. Field is the consummate pro, super detail oriented, allows Mel to be the star and fills in around him perfectly as a good host should. I think he has an eye for talent too in his own right. But the reason for the 4 instead of 5 stars is what made this podcast and ESPNs draft coverage in general great was the debate format between Mel and Todd McShay. I am personally really disappointed to see Todd go. Not only was he incredibly insightful but he and Mel had great debate chemistry. It’s kind of like when you favorite band loses a key member and while they are still good, it’s just not quite the same. So still worth a listen, but we are SERIOUSLY missing Todd!
I miss Todd
FY sounds like Ned Flanders
The Field Yates Show is Meh
The show hurts with the loss of McShay, but it falls off a cliff with Yates as the counterpart to Kiper like an ACME anvil. Yates is like a high school essay. 80% crappy fluff that does mean anything, 10% of information we get off of NFL Live and similar shows, the last 10% is real meat for those who are more than a casual observer. Show would be better with the other guy Daniel who understands the role of the moderator and does not step on, or cut off, the entertaining ringleader Kiper. The show needs to evaluate adjustments for the show next year.
