Papa Deuce Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I am loving The Fantasy Footballers. I have no idea who they are, but I just like the way they present their podcast, and they have a great sense of humor, and really seem to love what they do.

Riffraff Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 From my July posting elsewhere: Fantasy Footballers: My favorite for the combo of information, humor, and comradarie. They play off each other well. Do their own live transitions too. Newer, so still working out some kinks. Audio tech seems to be good quality, no real in/out or volume fluctuations. On the Couch: Second favorite. Good change of pace for topics and cast of speakers. Tangents are encouraged. Bloom has a good voice for audio. Audible: Got longer and thus more filler. I tend to skip it more often now. Waldman, while knowledgeable and informative, has a rough voice to listen to. Like others have said, Pitt/Denver heavy, website promotions, and self-absorbed on who they may have met. RotoViz: Stat heavy. Can focus on that too much, ie, looking backwards instead of prognosticating the future. Host sounds like he reads every item off his notes and doesn't freelance well. Standard format outline with stock questions for the most part. PFF: Also stat heavy since it's their forte. Can be dry if a speaker can't articulate their stat topic of the moment well. Ross Tucker FP: Football podcast is very good for range of speakers and topics. Always listen to Cossell and Brandt. Quick episodes and to the point most of the time. Ross Tucker Fantasy Feast: Getting past FF 101 level. Silva has been lining up more speakers recently, thus good topics. Around the NFL: Football related, not fantasy. Cast can play off each other, but probably promotes too much pseudo-animosity. Drama sells I guess. Good for NFL round-ups and news tidbits. ESPN Fantasy Focus: Changing of the guard with Nate gone. We'll see how it goes with a new co-host. Pretty self-absorbed and they knowingly play that up. One of the longest running, so kudos for that. Bell's injury updates are good. DLF: Used to be not so -only- youth oriented, but a transition of cast changed that. Can still be a bit over the top on the "you hit the nail on the head" comments. It's okay to have differing opinions. But then again, most podcasts are all nodding in unison. High Stakes FF: Hosts don't take themselves too seriously and bring on contest leaders/winners. Not being totally self-centered is definitely a change from the norm of other podcasts. Interesting tactics, but talk about their winning teams. Can be good/can be bad. CBS: Not as bad as most think. Run of the mill though. They can disagree with each other without it being territorial. Can go off on tangents a bit sometimes. FFToolbox: Tries to be more hip-to-the-hop than the rest. Host can have a rough voice at times as well. Average among those I listen to. 4for4: Voices are pretty dull/monotone, but informative. A bit self-absorbed, but mostly trying to sell their own product. Really only have to say "most accurate" 1 time. We get it. Probably missed a few or mixed up some of them. D'oh.

Richard1233 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I hate them all. They don't know more then us, they just have different opinions sometimes and because they're on a podcast swing people's opinions too often then not. I listened to podcasts for a few years and continues to suck. Last year took them all away and won 3 of 4 leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stethant Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 KFAN out of Minneapolis has a good podcast - it's the same guys (Paul Charchian and crew) that do Fantasy Football Almost Daily and Fantasy Football Weekly. I will say 2v is often the voice of reason and the "adult" in the room but the podcasts are well done and you can decide for yourself when you agree with them or not.

Nolly Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I am loving The Fantasy Footballers. I have no idea who they are, but I just like the way they present their podcast, and they have a great sense of humor, and really seem to love what they do. I loved them up until they started to press heavily for listeners to give them money, which they aren't even shy about doing so on their podcast. While they don't actually tell you it costs money on their podcast, it's $10 - $20for a guaranteed reply to a fantasy question (which you can get for free right here), $29.95 for them to review and help you with your roster post draft, and last but not least $1 - $100 a month to become an "Official member". Don't get me wrong I love the sound quality, I think they are funny and they seem knowledgeable, but I don't want to listen to them go on and on about how you can give them your money for advice every time I listen to a podcast.

Only started listening to these guys about two months ago but I've never once heard them ask for money for advice or to answer questions.
