Customer Reviews
Usual hosts
How do you start the pod without mentioning the usual hosts are gone. Talk about poor reporting on your part.
Downhill since Ourand and Marchand left
New hosts are way too vanilla. Not nearly as engaging as O & M. Also not sure why they got rid of whos up whos down segment that was the best part.
New SBJ Pod
Sad to say I think this pod should have been shut down when Marchand and Ourand departed. They could have taken time and then done a reboot with folks who not only can inform but entertain. Traina and Deitsch fill this sports media niche much better.
