Clayton Tune: Tank Commander
Cards fans hope he doesn't play too good.
AHMED 4 LYFE, ftw🤷♂️😤
Gush all you want…Mahomes still exists
Y’all the best
Hmm I heard in this episode a couple lions from last year and more than a couple from this draft. Brad Holmes is killing it.
love that they still clap it up at the end
Aidan O'connell is going to back up jimmyg, has josh McDaniels, and is a better qb than the others
Chris, there's a whole lot of whining noise while you talk. Not sure if you always feel slighted, but the tone is SOOO whiney almost all the time. Just enjoy talking, not sounding like you are offended all the time
I like Ahmad but Connor is a different spark. You 2 are a great duo. Bring him on more
You’re a simping hater Oshay. You act like he beat her and got another women pregnant he slept with another woman. Give me a break‼️
What, have few good games and never be heard from again?
Can we PLEASE get Connor full time? He’s so much more knowledgeable, and Simms OBVIOUSLY has better chemistry with him.
This years Kenneth Walker will be Chase Brown with the Bengals.
Pretty crazy how the lions r in almost every conversation either with a player last year or this year really exciting.
Don’t forget Purdy has an elite 10 yard split of 1.55, vs Josh Allen: 1.60 Patrick Mahomes: 1.65 Christian McCaffrey: 1.55 Saquon Barkley: 1.54
More Connor with Chris 🔥🙌
Please don’t make statements about how Kincaid is Travis Kelce but better. Guy hasn’t played a down and TK breaks tackles like crazy.
Conor is his type of guy because he sounds just like him
I really think that Chris has a man-crush on Connor. And rightly so. Great podcast as usual.
Ahmed is a square that thinks he’s clever and funny but he’s not. All of his humor is predicated at Simms’ expense and that’s a lame way and the sign of someone not funny
These two together are magic. I like Trevor, Steve and Ahmed, but they are hosts and Chris fits more paired with opinionated guys like Florio and Connor.
I met Ahmed Fareed in McCovey cove in my Yak. He was the dufus wearing 3 life preservers that we were all laughing at, lol.
this dude connor is awesome
