Great show! Love the back and forth between Mike Florio and Peter King!
What's up with all the blanking commercials on the podcast? I don't like them!!!!!!
PFT Live is a great football podcast. Very thorough and comprehensive reporting and coverage of the NFL.
lol dude beat up his child with a belt, this has been happening since the pants were invented.
"Not that I have alternate make-up". That caused my first lol moment with this podcast 😄
thankyou for spending thanksgiving with us mike you defiently made my solo thanksgiving better
Love the Belichek call-out. I couldn't agree with Florio more.
As a lifelong Browns fan (you're just born that way) you're breaking my heart by pointing out they should have rehired Belichek. So true and could have rewritten history...
