Customer Reviews
Change is bad
This used to be an excellent podcast. But now that Peter Pascarelli took over, it's gone way downhill - he's rude, offensive, and mean-spirited - not only to individual players, but to those who write in. I'm no longer a fan.
Change in hosts destroyed quality
The new host is dry, and insists upon a tedious recap of the previous days' games. All the quality guests seem to have vanished too.
ESPN, if you are reading this, please, bring back Alan!
What happened to Buster, Caple, Philips, etc? What happened to the thoughtful analysis that went in to answering reader questions? Where's the crystal ball? I don't need a verbal version of the box scores that I already read every day. This podcast used to be a highlight of my drive time, now I'm not bothering anymore. Please, ESPN bring back Alan, pay him anything he wants, and restore this podcast to it's former glory.
