Ngl sad Aaron Rodger’s Tuesday not a thing especially for his last year
Connor with the glasses, mullet, baseball cap , and jacket looking like every upstart Nashville country singer bro.
McCarthy is a WEAPON. What an addition to the show
My brother is going through the same thing as Nick. He is currently on dialysis. Hope for the best, Nick.
could really do with an episode of the pod, i just need some normal conversation and banter for once, this show is so heavily produced now, its segment, guest, segment, guest and the shows over
Where’s the time stamp guy?
Need to hear some Kaboly chants at Gameday this weekend
You all know that it's the Steelers that didn't let Aaron Rodgers come back this year right?
THE FLACCO BALL HIT
McCarthy and Whitworth almost look identical.
