The Ringer NFL Show

Generally entertaining show but was hard not to roll the eyes repeatedly at your most recent Chiefs takes. Oh no they brought in Kristian Fulton to replace… Nazeeh Johnson? They’re putting Hicks in for Reid, and he had as many INTs his rookie year playing <50% of the snaps as Reid did in three whole seasons. And the best part of his game is tackling! Come on guys. If you’re going to be national level, know the players.

You’re hosts have leaned too far into their bit. Ruiz is basically a first take character who’s opinions are predetermined by analytics. Who cares what happens during the season or even who wins a game, analytics say this, so actually you’re all wrong and I’m right.

Tried an episode and it was two grown men basically crying and agreeing with each other on everything. No wonder women give it five stars.

I have watched football my entire life and sometimes I am dismayed at choices of my teams and players I like to watch that seem dismissive of girls and women. This podcast acknowledges with sensitivity how women can feel when the League makes the game exclusively more important than the character of its players. I appreciate having men I can listen to, talking about one of my favorite sports, without having to compartmentalize how I feel when complicated issues arise.
