sporer sucks.
Jeff's constant mention of the rockies as paste eaters is super annoying. talk about punching down. someone want to mention his Reds only being *slightly* better the past 10 years?
Iiiiiii
Sporer sucks so bad
not a fan of this one.
decent episode for sure
yeah, so this one is....not good. 9 minutes of just babbling about nothing, and then just says wins are flukey, so there's no strategy involved. great, so why are we doing a pod about it?
Holy cow the audio is way off on this. Todd's answers are all coming in before clay asks and at times they are overlapping.
