Holy commercials
Have listened for probably three or four years at this point. The commercials are just absurd. No content until the seven minute mark. And it’s just become super repetitive. With the same talking points and same dialogue. And I get money is an important factor but good god enough money talk

Too many ads/commercials
No content until 6+ minutes in seems excessive. Longer than Colin or many other pods

Getting ready to unsubscribe!!
Love the 3 and out pod, but am constantly getting too many other pod suggestions. The go low disguised as 3 and out are bothering me I subscribed to 3 and out if I want a golf pod I will subscribe to go low. I’ve already unsubscribed to Colin’s main feed due to the same issue. Keep this to football.

Very authentic
John does a great job of telling you like it is. He acts and talks like a normal person which if refreshing in todays toxic fake people media market. Feel like I’m sitting back with a bro having a beer just shooting the breeze combined with knowledge of personnel. Please don’t ever become like the rest of the media! That’s why we’re here

Repetitive
He basically repeats them same things over and over. All he talks about are the big names and skill positions. Plenty of pods do that. Give me some value. Also just su*ks off Collin twice an episode. Insane 5 minute commercials every 15 mins

Great Podcast
Started listening regularly a couple years before John joined the volume around 2020 and haven’t missed many episodes. Popularity has certainly grown recently. For new subscribers here’s some things to know. He knows what he’s talking about regarding football and sticks to his takes. What’s always been my favorite thing about the show is he does “mailbag questions”. These are DMs sent to him that can make him vulnerable and these questions aren’t just from friends or big names they can come from anyone. The fact he still does this given his increased popularity is awesome. Shows he cares about the consumer (a.k.a. the people paying his bills). He’s a football/golf guy who loves to gamble so he talks a lot about the business side of football. Being a former scout he has a lot of front office opinions. Output has decreased slightly in last year in regard to podcasts. Overall great podcast geared towards the ages of men/women (more so men) between the ages of 18-50. Would highly recommend giving it a try if you like football. You’ll find out quickly if it’s for you or not.

Show keeps getting better
Podcast is a true skill and John has grown a ton. Info and opinions are always strong. Very knowledgeable. I now listen to nearly every show.

In the lineage of Colin and Nick
Really quality podcast. Information rich, insightful takes, genuine approach. I can see why Colin signed him to the volume. Keep up the good work John.

Stop binging up $ for everything!
John, I’ve been listening to you since 2018 or so and have enjoyed your podcast for the most part. But the fact that you have to bring up money in virtually every single aspect of the podcast is starting to get to me. I get it money makes the world go round. But how many times do I have to hear the phrase “he’s not a good HC, but he’s an elite coordinator. And theirs no problem with that, top coordinators make 3, 4, 5 million dollars.” It’s almost every episode at this point….

Allard 1st round pick????
This guy thinks Allard from Penn State is a first round pick?? No wonder he got fired as a scout!
Allard blows
Brady conflict of interest
It’s lame that we, viewers and consumers of the NFL have to listen to his horrible announcing. And that’s he’s part owner of a team. Ridiculous and totally capitulation. Lame on all fronts.

Go back to your lane
I’ve been noticing you’re starting to sound a lot like Colin. That is not a compliment, but I’ll still give you five stars.

Great listen
Favorite NFL podcast. Keep up the good work, and mostly, being real with your takes. Underrated quality these days ✊😎

Great Show
Been listening for a few months now and have to say, this is the best football podcast out there.

Great views!
Been listening to you since you were with Guy. Been enjoying both of you solo, and glad to see you get national attention! Keep it up, enjoy your takes. Also don’t know if this idea has been crossed but I was listening and thought about doing a segment called punt or go for it. Thanks for the great listen.

Waayyyyyy the many ads
I know you gotta make a living but dude.. It's 1:1 takes versus ads. Yes, I realize I can fast-forward but I find myself fast forwarding more than listening. I've listened to you for years but I am moving on.

The podcast
You were rattling off places that listen to the pod: add Vietnam to the list. Your pod is a lifeline for football fans.
Now, why do we get this other stuff we don’t ask for?
fiction is great
Stop Talking About Golf On The Football Pod
You have a golf Pod. Do that there.

Excellent insight
Great insight on the game of football, if you can make it through the mindless and endless advertising reads. Seriously the ratio of ads to actual content here are out of whack.
physicsisgroovy
Just skip to 7:00 or so
To avoid crazy amounts of commercials and sponsored stuff. Great content but the commercials are just insane.
masquito_bite
Adverts are ridiculous
Dont mind some advertising for good content but the amount of commercials in a typical episode is horrifying. Content is normally good similar (sometimes too similar) to cowherd’s pod. If you handle nonstop ads this pod might be for you.
Klauski57
Podcast is 60% ads and bull
He has some good points, but it’s h possible to listen to when the podcast literally starts with 8 minutes of ads.

The best
I’ve been listening to Cowherd as my main sports show/pod for over a decade. Switched to John. Love it, keep up the good work (Colin is way too big of an Aaron Rogers Hater)

Good Sports talk bad everything else
When this dude can stick to sports he’s good . When he’s on with Colin he knows to keep it to sports . But every episode on his own he just has to bring his political thoughts. I listen to sports to NOT listen to political radio. He said he had to leave the Bay Area to stop being angry all the time . You still are man. Let it go . Talk about football. Sheesh

I want to like this podcast…
But, despite the insights and perspective, the show has a primarily negative tone. Very cynical and the cussing doesn’t help. I would suggest taking cues from Cowherd and bring the facts without the sarcasm and cussing…dive deeper into player eval and the GM lense.

Need a Better Mic
I live the content, but please fix your saliva, drinking and other gross sounds right in my ear. Please, please find a way to fix this, do you listen to your own pod? Please do and you will lot be happy. Besides that it’s a great pod.
Wilsonsoup
Skip the first 7 minutes every time
Not a bad podcast, but can this man go one podcast without mentioning bill parcells? Makes a lot of very obvious statements and the first 10% of the podcast are entirely ads
I want the package
My favorite NFL and golf podcast, hands down
Thanks John

Great perspective
Being a former scout/front office personnel gives John a great perspective on how teams operate and run their business. He’s worked for one of the best. He’s very concise and confident in his answers and takes. He has great guests and puts out a lot of content without being repetitive. I wish he could fill in for Colin Cowherd’s when he takes time off.

Got to Get Better
I’ll start with that actual content is great. John has a unique perspective on the NFL
But minus one star for 12-15 minutes of ads and live reads during the show. This is part of what killed the Sports Talk Radio universe. I understand some, but they’re overdoing it
And learn to pronounce “fugazi”, watch Donnie Brasco again, the Sopranos, or even ask Italian.

Must Listen
Terrific podcast to add to your NFL podcast playlist. Short, sweet, to the point. Very knowledgeable with great takes. Must listen!

Spin that hat around!
Quintessential douche bag.

Great show. Too many commercials
6 minutes of commercials to start the show is insane. Not to mention the many in between. Not on my regular rotation cause I’m not dealing with that on a daily basis

Dak Prescott for MVP!
Brock Purdy has a better rating by over 10 points more yards and crushed the Cowboys head to head and you want to say Dak solidified being MVP after beating the Eagles? What planet are you living on? Please give more intelligent takes. Brock Purdy should be MVP or has just as much of a case as Dak for MVP, please back up what you say with numbers not “he has been in the league longer” huh? I am glad you don’t vote for MVP.

Freaking love this guy!
“I usually lean toward the negative… So today we’re going to do ‘therapy Tuesday’ and I’m going to say something positive about the Bears.” 😂😂😂

Too many ads
John is great, but this podcast has become a cesspool of advertisements. The show often doesn’t start until the 5 minute mark. Even then, there are routine ads throughout the show. They will even be mixed in with the actual content. This has only gotten worse since he joined Colin and The Volume, which is a shame becasue John is really talented. I wouldn’t be surprised if more than half the show is advertisements at this point.

Overrated
The guy does zero homework, much like is idol Cowherd. If you’re not terribly intelligent this is a great podcast for you. Even though John isn’t very sharp with respect to football, he is fun to listen to when he’s talking about gambling. BTW, John is proof that anyone can work in the NFL.
ASSFUIIOOO
All good but…
John is a great voice to listen to when it comes to college and pro football. When you listen just keep in mind that there will ALWAYS be a segment on the 49ers. Doesn’t matter the topic.

Speaks his mind
Isn’t afraid to speak his mind. Don’t always agree but it’s refreshing in today’s world.

Great pod, but….
Is it just me or is the podcast art poorly photoshopped?
If you need professional help from a designer that designs album art and podcast art for a living, holla at your boy.

Great content but I don’t like golf takes
Been listening to John almost 2 yrs love his takes n knowledge of the league I’m not into golf so I skip the GOLO EPISODES
Owens1981
Pretty Good sometimes….
When he talks football it’s a good podcast between the tons & tons of commercials UGH!
The other issue is that some episodes are golf REALLY! If I wanted golf I would listen to a golf podcast.
bigj7017
Really good pod but…
Way too many ads. First 5 minutes of show is ads. Plus lots of long ad interrupts. I get you’re trynna make money but it takes away from the product in my opinion.

Loyal listener since day 1
Been a loyal listener since day 1 when you first got on Colin’s feed. Now I listen to you (and Middlekauf) WAY more than Colin. Stay in your you lane with the slurs, my friend. You started your 6/1 podcast with “I’m not a teacher! I don’t take the summers off!” Unnecessary. You wouldn’t be where you are without teachers.

1 of the best!
Quickly became one of my favorite podcasts. Enjoy the content and the point of view.
