The best
Miss Nate tice but this is still the best NFL podcast I’ve seen by far. Don’t know how people could vote anything but 5 honestly
Robert Mays and Jourdan Rodrigue
I enjoyed Robert and Jourdan’s segment on top 10 NFL coaches. They have good chemistry. Jourdan in particular is very engaging and knowledgeable. She belongs on national TV!
