I’m a week behind. Was it weekend observations?Cuse football mention today. Not a good thing
Listening to the pod while watering the grass yesterday evening and Stu mentioned his daughter wanting to go into journalism and has Syracuse high on her list.
I’m always behind and rarely catch up but I just refuse to miss an episode… not even a David Samson Lour, which I have somehow come to enjoy.
They were laughing at FSU losing and mentioned their upcoming schedule and how it could get really bad for them but then they pointed out that Syracuse lost to Rutgers so it's not all bad.
Yeah Stu mentioned they visited Syracuse the other week. Would be cool if she went here and he hyped them up.
This is my #1 podcast and that's all I do at work so I never fall behind. I wouldn't be able to do it since they touch on a lot of sports topics that would be super old by the time I got around to listening.
I absolutely dispise Samson but he does tell some interesting stories.

I am the same way, but I do skip when Dan is off.

I thought the recent shows without Dan haven’t been that bad. The rest of the gang, with Greg Cote, has done well.

Yeah Jess mentioned that Syracuse lost to Rutgers by 30, which wasn't accurate. They were also talking about the Dome recently and how it doesn't have AC, despite being named after an AC company. That one I can understand, since this is the first year they actually do have AC.

It’s the best when they are both there, but still quality even with one gone.

I listened some and it was better than it used to be, but I still don’t really enjoy it without the adult in the room.
I like a little bit without Dan. Too long and it goes off the rails hard.
But I also haven't been a fan of Dan's lately. He seems to keep going on and on about the same topics. And there's been way too much serious sports talk.

I agree that he hasn’t been his best lately. Perhaps building the new company has distracted him. Also, something is lost without having ESPN and sports talk listeners to antagonize.

It’s a delicate balance. The allure of the show for me was how they were counter culture to the rest of espn .. sort of taking it down from within ., now that they’re on their own , and big brother is no longer there for them to butt heads with , antagonize, and get suspended by .. I have to admit I’m a little less invested

I appreciate that they are exploring new kinds of content, but the Phil Hendrie-style fake interviews (provided by Adam McKay and Hank Azaria) do not do much for me.

I have no idea why Greeny is so highly regarded at ESPN. I have never watched a show just because he was hosting. I am clueless what he brings to the table that is so special.

He’s a weasel and annoying. He’s good at what he does. But he is a grating dude

To be fair, the LeBatard show would totally dedicate a segment to Stugotz's top 5 and bottom 5 types of cake.

LOL that’s true but Stu has an innate ability to pull something like that off wheras Greenberg whining about cake just sounds insufferable.

I have no idea what’s going on here, yet I was still entertained by the intentional douchiness of it all.
