    Joe you feeling alright? Ira podcast on time?
    Appreciate the sentiment, but there really is no time for the podcast other than twice a week. It’s not a radio show. That’s the beauty of podcasts for the listeners and those recording.–Joe

  2. Ed chase Says:

    Winston can’t throw a deep ball, doesn’t matter who the receiver is. Kwon wasn’t a game changer, I wish we would have kept him, but he can be replaced.

  3. BuccYa Says:

    Don’t get me wrong here Joe, you know I love this podcast and the majority of the podcasts on your site for that matter. Just poking fun.

  4. Jaywill Says:

    Not true Ed…Its funny Winston was 36% on deep ball last year. Wentz was 35%

  5. NPRSageBoy Says:

    Plus, Ira is The Prince of Panera; The Herald of Hooters

  6. Buc believer Says:

    I think that was a good podcast but I couldn’t tell with all the background racket! What the hell was up??

  7. Markus Says:

    Seriously probably the worst podcast ever you guys are professionals at least find a place where the audio is going to be good

    I’m going to offer some constructive criticism. I’m sure you’ll delete my comments, but that’s okay. I’ve learned that y’all can dish it out, but let a scintilla of criticism be directed your way, and it’s deleted.

    1. A lot of us listen while we’re driving. Following a normal conversation while in heavy traffic, is difficult. Throw in excessive background (foreground?!) noise and it’s next to impossible. Surely you can find a quiet place to record?

    2. I hate teasers. You know, when a TV or radio host says “after the break, we’ll show you blah, blah.” Then I have to sit through the break to hear what they have to say. It’s amateur. Pros don’t need to do that crap.

    What’s even more annoying than a teaser is to hear Lee rant about something he can’t tell us about. He does this way too often. Yeah, mention it BRIEFLY, but don’t rant about it and pique everyone’s curiosity. That’s for 13 year old girls. “I know something that I can’t tell you but if I told you it would blow your mind!!” Seriously, what adult does that?

    Willie:

    1. Yes, it is difficult to find a quiet place, in part because this podcast isn’t quiet. Last thing we want it to be is an NPR show. Thus, not too many public places would tolerate us to record indoors. Other Joe here will add that it’s easy to find a quiet place, we just don’t always choose to. Just as many people have told us they like the background noise and feel that comes with being at an establishment versus silence. –Joe

    2. Teasers are used daily, constantly. TV, radio, you name it, throughout various mediums. From Howard Stern and Hollywood and SiriusXM NFL Radio down to some two-bit hillbilly in Arkansas on a three-lung radio signal. If you think about it, advertising is a form of teasing.

    3. If the three (Ira and the two Joes) spilled the beans on where and who we obtained information from, wouldn’t be long before we had no information to share and the pipelines would immediately dry up. The fact we won’t out sources or spread otherwise confidential information actually builds our credibility with both current sources and others. Folks know they can trust us. And we fully believe listeners like to hear background information, as much as we can offer without destroying confidentiality. Nothing will wreck a reporter’s job and kill relationships quicker than building a reputation as someone who will quickly renege on an agreement of confidentiality.

    Appreciate the constructive feedback.

  10. WillieG Says:

    I’m not suggesting that you out your sources. I commend you all for your vigilance in keeping confidential things confidential. I’m simply suggesting that you refrain from ranting about something that you can’t talk about. Mention it? Sure, it’s part of the overall picture, but if you say more than a sentence or two, it’s cruel and unusual punishment for those of us with vivid imaginations and cat-like curiosity.

    Not trying to tease or torture you man. 🙂
