Sports Is Business (and visa versa)
The discussions about the current situation with the NFLPA is very insightful, not just for the union insights, but also about negotiations in general. “They are not smarter than us.” Great insight!

More Sports Labor Negotiation Discussion would be great
Update: This string of shows has been great! I enjoyed the show with Bomani and the back-and-forth interview with Charlie about the NFLPA.
—
I’ve been listening for a while, and I love the show. I really enjoyed the episode on the WNBA contract negotiation and Caitlin Clark’s outsized monetary value to the league. I’d love to hear more deep dives into labor contracts/trade-offs/etc. as the WNBA contract negotiation proceeds, and for other leagues too. I’m predominantly an NFL fan, but it’s an interesting conversation regardless of the league. Especially cool to hear Dominique’s ideas and analysis as someone who has actually been in these negotiations as a former president of the NFLPA.

Dom is Him
It’s easy to understate how good of a podcaster Domonique has become. And I think he just made his best episode yet with the NFL PA collusion reports.

Updated rating - Still 5 stars! Still on point!
I have loved this podcast for years and even during the summer slow sports news cycle, Domonique is killing it. The show with Bomani and Spencer on the evolving collegiate sports economic landscape was one of the best and most hilarious I’ve heard in a minute. Keep it coming and please get both of Spencer and Bomani back on as frequently as possible. And let’s get the regular Foxworth Fridays on Bomani’s show back on track as the banter, humor and intellectual chemistry is off the charts.

Great show meh audio
Love the content, guests, and chemistry. Love how you all go all over the place with references. But man, you guys gotta get a better audio situation. Your voices just go too high or too low sometimes and makes listening a challenge.

Gusano tendencies
Between the silence on the nfl collusion story and an embarrassing christine brennan tribute episode about caitlin clark, dom is giving off hard sellout vibes that has diminished his credibility and enjoyment factor. Keep getting those podcasting checks i guess, must be worth it if you and bomani are retiring from relevancy to do this
ideal listener
Nepo Babies
I heard millennial Charlie suggesting that LeBron playing for the minimum would be a good idea. That’s it let’s have the athletes who worked and clawed their way out of poverty take a pay cut to help nepo baby owners who have achieved nothing but be born into wealth! Ridiculous, are you a nepo baby Charlie?? Why do you love them so much??

Less Charlie please
The show is not the worst but Charlie: 1. Makes it too sophomoric 2. Has a tendency to over talk Domonique (DF) 3. Always jockeying for relevance. We need less of Charlie. It’s not the best chemistry. Feels like DF is always explaining sports life to his little boy. It’s worse when DF has a guest(s). Rename the show “Foxworth & Pinocchio”

Domonique and Vanilla Snack are a daily necessity. Such great content and even when nothing is going on, there is always one of Charlie’s Lists.

this is great
I love Dominique on the Le Batard show only and now I'm enjoying this podcast for the last few weeks, as long as Charlie is there because then the ego of Dominique isn't so bad. Playful fun, free stuff guys thank you.

Noooo
I know you all are friends with Pablo but please don’t have him fill in for Charlie. Ever. Anyone but him. I’m sure no one that matters will read this but I had a bad day and need Domonique and Charlie not him.

Dom is great
“Pablo Torre replaces Charly” be still my heart. A taste of what this amazing combo used to sound like. If only it was for longer…
hey Charley, honestly I think you’re getting too big for the show, you should branch off and do some solo work! Dom will be fine!

Five-star content, 3-star production values.
Love this show. Everybody, with the exception of Charlie, usually gives well informed takes and is entertaining to listen to.
I would give this podcast five stars, but whenever they beep somebody's swearing, the actual beep is so much more louder than the rest of the dialogue. It is earsplitting and obnoxious.
I don't know if anybody on the production side reads these reviews but if they do, can you please drop the decibel level of those beeps by about 10 to 12?
If that's done, I will amend the review to be five stars.

Angry Charlie 😂
Our boy was in rare form today!! Charlie and his Commandos will have to find another DE not named Myles. That’s ok…..Please keep the Werther’s Original away from the homie during pre-production!! Charlie to Werther’s = Crack to Tyrone Biggums
Salute Gents! 🫡

Nobody listens for Charlie
This is a great show. Informative, fun, a nice balance of off the rails crack up time, and breaking down what’s going on during the games. My only real criticism of the show is Charlie. I get that he’s a smart guy, and he comes with stats and analytics which is a nice add from time to time, but nobody tunes in to listen to him. You can tell he really finds himself interesting and funny, sort of like the people at my job who are the reason I put the earbuds in. Dude smashed the SAT and was a staple behind the scenes on HQ. Everyone from the DleB show seem to really like him personally. Cool cool. Dude just has the most annoying little brother vibes ever. Maybe some of you were forced to hang out with your little brother, or even legitimately enjoyed it, but we would have told Chuck to run into the store and grab us some snacks and then dipped out. Listening to him struggle to finish his story or analogy because he’s laughing so hard at his own lame joke or idea, gives me the same feelings as I’d get when a sibling still in elementary school would be in the backseat thinking they’re telling the most hilarious story. Trust me, it’s not. We’re looking out the window hoping a car blows a red light and puts us all out of our misery. Otherwise, this show is 5 stars because I am not a hater.

football fans of all stripes will enjoy this show
Foxworth combines a player’s perspective and experience with a journalist’s curiosity. Very good rapport with guests. Unfailingly funny and insightful.

Domonique is a top notch football analyst.
Dominique is a true expert regarding football. He is at his best when he is talks about player rights/union issues, but his on the field points are great as well. His takes are pure gold and better than anything else out there right now. His intelligence combined with his on the field experiences is an unbeatable combo. If he was the only factor, it would easily be a 5 star, and probably my favorite sports podcast.
Charlie on the other hand, offers very little. He constantly pigeonholes strays at people he dislikes into the conversation, which just comes off as hateful. His opinions are about as vanilla as they get, and he is never accountable for his bad takes when he is wrong. I find myself fast forwarding the episode past a lot of the more charlie-centric segments. Unfortunately, he seems to be getting more and more airtime as the show evolves, which is really degrading the overall value (because of this I considered dropping it to 3 stars)
I skip the basketball episodes. I love basketball, but I don’t think they really say anything of value when talking about the NBA.

Great show
Learned about this podcast from The Dan Lebatard Show. Dominique and Charlie, aka vanilla snack, are great together and the guests they have on and true relationships with their guests is awesome.

One Giveth, one Taketh Away
5 stars for the Dominique Foxworth Show. 1 star for the Charlie Kravitz Show. Broadcasters don’t let producers take over the show. It’s like if Baba-booey was running things.
the real Zork
Charlie - best part of any show!! Really enjoy the two of you together!
A navy blue sweater is a timeless piece of clothing. Way to go Charlie!!

Speaking too fast when excited
Great show. Lively, informative, timely, issues presented in an interesting format. Only criticism is that Charlie, Barnwell and other occasional guests speak so quickly when makes my a point they are hard to comprehend. They’re like an old 33 rpm record playing at 45. Yes I’m that old but my hearing is fine. Keep up the good stuff.

Always look forward to the topics and friendly banter. The personal takes keep it interesting as well. Never a bad episode.

Don’t mess this up
It’s a great pod. Fun to listen to. Interesting takes. Please ESPN do not ruin this show by forcing Dominique to bring Ben Solak on every week! He’s unlistenable

Iron fist is so annoying when you are playing as a support. For example when I’m playing Jeff the land shark and trying to heal my allies, a random dude just presses 3 buttons and eliminates me and I can’t to a thing about it. Podcast 10/10.

Dom was right. Liking your spouses IG pics is lame
Dom and Charlie gaslighting Mina over survivor picks has been incredible

…and I don’t even leave reviews. I really appreciate the thoughtful analysis and banter

Best Sports Podcast
I listen to different podcasts and this is by far one of the best. The analysis is always on point. Dominique is very relatable and provides great insight. The chemistry he has with his team and guests is unmatched. Thank you sir! 5 stars!

Great Mix
Stats and vibes are presented. So many sports people are all analytics or all hand in the dirt feelings. Nice that there is both in this podcast!

DOMINIQUE IS THAT DUDE!
Love the pod - been a big fan of Dominique’s for awhile now!
Could we fix the volume levels?!? Most the time the pod is hella quiet then the commercials are hella loud.

Super Cold Pod
Top pod I listen to. Always has great vantage points and content you don’t get from your average sports pod. Fox and the Vanilla Snack keep holding it down!

Yo
Great show man. Don’t turn into a take artist, this has been great so far.

Get rid of Charlie
The Bryce Ypung episode wa the worst. Charlie has no hosting skills. Questions are whack. You can tell DF was over the mediocre questions and so was the dog (very professional).
Charlie’s skills are like that of the same Bryce Young he was critical of. Charlie is trash.
Dom Foxworth
Tyrek Hill is a Lesson
As a High School teacher of young people of all races, I’m showing my kids the Tyrek Hill Body Cam video, for what NOT to do. How NOT to behave when dealing with law enforcement. Seriously, he’s an absolute embarrassment 💯

I feel like a hater
Leaving 4 stars is usually a move reserved for haters. I type this with a single Glory tear running down my face because I love the pod. The audio is hotdog water and seems to have gotten worse over time. Pretty sure it’s a mic issue cuz I felt the same back when foxworth fridays started on Bo pod.

Audio quality
I’ve listened to this podcast since the first one aired. It’s just gotten better since. One thing that keeps me from giving it five stars is the low volume audio. I’m a local refuse driver and rarely get to highway speeds, but when I do, the truck gets loud and I can’t hear what you all are saying anymore. I listen to several other podcast including others from ESPN/ABC. I have no trouble hearing those at highway speeds. If possible, please improve and I’ll change my rating to five stars. Thank you.

More Nick Wright please
That episode with Nick Wright was very interesting. I loved how he was giving you and Charlie the facts and you guys were just like “Well, your wrong.” 😂
___von
Love the Show! But…
Fantastic sports podcast, love Domonique and Charlie (and Ashley)! I just wish the volume balancing was more even. Having to constantly adjust the volume makes the show incredibly hard to listen to. Keep up the good work!

Nice show
Dominique is def. in his own lane. Pod is totally different than current genre ; and it’s always interesting. Very intelligent and articulate , too
Daddy Jou
Love the show… but the exponentially louder ads, not so much.
I really don’t need to hear Shefter (among others) screaming during ads exponentially louder than anyone in the show. It’s so annoying and even disturbing at times. Now, GET OFF OF MY LAWN!!!

Dope Format
The tone and analysis is excellent, but woof I don’t like hearing talk about the Knicks.
The Esteemed
Love the show but Charlie
I love listening to you and guests make intelligent nuanced statements about sports. Which is why I love listening to you and Bomani and then to hear Charlie come in with his barstool sports takes is maddening. It makes me not listen as much as I would like to. They are neither funny nor up to the level of the host. Which makes you dumb down your takes for him when your original audience turns in for the same type of analysis we were getting on Foxworth Fridays. Charlie can be cringe and I sometimes turn it off mid show.

Get the most out of their guests
Dominique and Charlie do an excellent job utilizing the knowledge of their guests in the show. They asked insightful questions and follow-ups that help me learn new things. Many other shows talk over their guests in an effort to show how smart they are, these two are comfortable, participating in the conversation, but drawing on the expert knowledge of the guest. I also appreciate that they don’t often shy away from issues of race and in equities. Those conversations have made reflect as well.
