Had to post this because BBI was referenced as the source for a message thread from an insider for ChatSports Giants and thought it was funny.

Ha Ha listening to that is why I simply don't listen to podcasts.  To hear one person talk so much are like fingernails on a blackboard.  No news, just an opinion.

LOL - Very true, Joe.  This appears to filmed from his mom's basement. 

I always forget BBI is still around.

A commentary like this reminds me of a slightly modified old quote-  Draft rumors are like buttholes.  Everyone has one, and they usually stink.

Brother - Our society has devolved into a need for hearing opinions instead of news.  Ugh!!!!

Thanks Rich for the list.  I know for example that the podcast by the Freakonomics guys is very good.  My problem is that I just simply can't hear a monologue for so long especially when the hosts "insert" their personality into the conversation in the hope of making it more colorful.

My father had a great quote which he seared into his us which was "you have one mouth and two ears and you should use them in that proportion."

Your point about monologues appears to be a good one as most of these podcasts have co-hosts (and it's not uncommon to have guests).  By having two hosts they can play off one another and eliminate your issues that come with a lone host.

In fact, the only ones on my list with a single host are:

Ross Tucker (he does have frequent guests)
Traina
Raanan
Stapleton
Leonard

All the others on my list have at least two hosts

He does tequila shots during games as dares for superchat dollars. I think he's classic click bait.

Indeed!  Why work when you can just sit in your moms basement and produce endless content all day?  We're just products from a different generation, Joe.

On a related note, a coworker attended a meeting of a town's high school's best and brightest students (the mayor hosted it).   When she returned, she shared with me that there weren't students wishing to become doctors and the like among the group. Still, many had career aspirations of being social media influencers.

Still think Maye is going to the Pats. Schoen has to get an elite wr threat, which is both smart and sensible.

Maye means trading up..losing our #2 and next year's #1 at least. That's a big swing. And there no reason to believe that couldn't be bested by another team.

That comports with my interactions with young people.  My oldest son graduated with a double-major in electrical and mechanical engineering; this is great because he'll be supporting my youngest, who desperately wants to be a social media influencer (focusing on video games).  It's up to the middle son to determine if we're good parents or not

Don't know what the Pats think. I don't see Denver giving up so many picks to get to three. Minnesota really is ideal for Penix. He would thrive there. Maye needs time to learn and get better. He fits better with the Giants or Pat who will not win next year. The Vikings can compete next year but not if they take a QB who needs to grow. McCarthy as well. I think either McCarthy or Maye are good fits for both the Giants and Pats.
