Robert seems like such a great guy, you wanna hang out with and talk football.

Hall of Pretty Good Podcast

They have their blind spots and unwillingness to go to certain places but they’re good. Although inevitably every season they’ll start talking up Packers, Ravens, and Justin Herbert + Trevor Lawrence specifically. When that happens as I listen I make rather crude and insulting hand gestures as is required when glazing occurs. They fundamentally think about a certain segment of QBs very differently from me and I can’t bring myself to get their view point. Edit: They’re also currently doing a pretty bang up job of acting like Dianna Russini, their former coworker and repeat guest on the pod, never existed probably for fear of them losing their jobs. Look I get it’s tough having a spine in NFL media, but are we really gonna ignore the massive elephant in the room? Your former coworker resigned in disgrace due to ethics violations and the Athletic (and your overlord the NYT) is doing everything it can to act like a former employee didn’t use her position as an Insider to help shape free agency and trade talks to benefit a philandering coach who also should be fired. So no PR slop statement on the matter? Come on cowards

Smart knowledgeable analysis.

These guys have ruined sports reporters for me. After their intelligent analysis I can’t listen to local sportswriters asking inane questions at press conferences and making analysis fitting for a second grader.

The best

Simply the best podcast on football. Organized and intelligent. Doesn’t get bogged down in stupidity. Doesn’t have dead air

Great show! But…

Frustrating that Bryan would pose a question to y’all then talk over you while you’re attempting to answer, like he was totally dismissive as to what you guys had to say.. love y’all but glad that Bryan guy isn’t a repeat guest, he needs to talk less.. Great job on the Beast!
