    Still good but needs some adjustments
    For a long time, my favorite podcast in any genre was the weekly recap from Cecil and Sigmund. In recent years, they just don’t seem as interested, especially Cecil. He sometimes brings good analysis but gets sidetracked by saying the same thing too often. Sometimes he seems to just not want to be there. I love Football Guys and have subscribed for many years, but I think maybe there should be more changes to either get Cecil more engaged or add someone like Jeff Bell or Matt Waldman more instead. Also, Bob Harris has to stop reading his pre-scripted posts! He’s a good guest when he’s On the Couch, but the daily updates aren’t working even with the host asking Bob questions.

    Fantasy football is an escape from the crazies in the country. Don't need political ads to start off the day. Unsubscribe

    5-Star Quality, 1-Star Length
    Sigmund and Cecil are fantastic, but the show needs to be at least an hour.

    I miss the long-form stuff
    I’m still giving 4 because I love and admire Sig. But I don’t like the new 9-10 minute short clip model the company is trying to lean into. I became a fan because I want to hear Sig and Matt Waldman go down narrative street for an hour or more on my commute. I can’t get into the new shorter clips. Sadly, I find myself just marking them as played and move on to one of your competitors’ shows. Best of luck with what you’re trying to do, guys.

    What Happened
    Who is the dude just reading as fast as possible off a script? It’s really not good. Slow down buddy. I’m listening to a speed read of someone’s notes. As Charles Barkley would say it’s just turrible
  • Slipcubusknight
    What happened to this show??
    Sig, Cecil, Matt, and the good doctor Jene. This was the gold standard of Fantasy podcasting. This company seems to have pivoted their target audience from hardcore players looking for an edge to surface level advice through “content creation,” Even down to the titles. “Top 5 players you have to draft in fantasy football!” What happened to this show I loved? Sigmond is the best and always brings a unique way of looking at things. He’s the only reason I stick around anymore.
  • DGork
    One of the best!
    Love the audible. Sig and Cecil are great. Not only have they made me a better FF player but I just enjoy hearing what they have to say especially when Sig goes “off the rails” on the couch. I will say Sig sometimes gets talking too fast and mumbles. When he’s speaking clearly I listen. Not sure why they have Bob Harris doing daily reads. He’s pretty hard to listen too.

    Long time listener
    Big fan of The Audible, On The Couch, and the weekly DFS shows. Been listening for years and will continue listening. Glad they separated out a lot of the newer shows from the main feed. Dropped a star because Cecil is turning into a grumpy old man and it’s tiring.
  • Always a Treat
    Good for Football, Good for Life
    Smart and charming. Great analysis, fun insider type content, and some good life lessons included for free. Love the chemistry between Bloom and Lammey.
  • QB312
    Let’s take a step back
    “Lamar is the best QB from 2018 draft, sorry Josh” that’s fine just please provide one data point that suppers that opinion. This is the second podcast this off season you have dumped on Allen. Without much data. I mean if we are just going by SB wins you’re going to have to look long and hard for a great QBs in the NFL. Enjoy the show thanks for the content.
  • kepper is awful
    Used to be the best - big fall off
    The Audible is like a TV channel with multiple shows. They recently decided to hire a bunch of young marketing people who know more about appealing to the lowest common denominator than football. Most of the OGs have moved on, and the ones that have stayed treat it as either a personal diary - it's not a broncos show, it's the Cecil Lammey show. The inflated sense of self importance Lammey has is striking and very off-putting. You'd think his friends/coworkers would pull him aside since he lacks the requisite self awareness...Or in Sigmund Bloom's case, an excuse to get drunk on the latest NFL happenings "brandon Staley is refreshing/a good coach" "Lamar can only operate with Greg Roman" "Greg Roman was holding Lamar back." The contradictions, of course, are never mentioned.
  • MoreKeena
    Show Topic FABB
    Please layout the benefits of using the FABB system over the 24 year old last place for the week priority system we still use. The guy in last place gets all the good free agents every week and the managers atop the standings get squat. I don’t even want to mention that we’ve only had about 8 trades in 24 years…
  • Roonhop
    The worst
    Sigmund Bloom is unlistenable. A complete gasbag that will always use 10,000 words when five would do. It would be halfway palatable if he actually provided any useful insight.
  • SdKuAb
    Too good to miss.
    Great information to help make good decisions in your league. More than just getting solid info on moves to make, you’ll also get information about strategy and philosophy that will make you a better manager. The only thing that really annoys me is all the conversation about how podcasts generate their money. Way too big of a deal is made about the lack of a super chat while also going on and on about YouTube monetization and censoring. I listen to shows that have nothing to do with fantasy that use a super chat that I get to enjoy uncensored (and don’t really notice the difference between other shows that read and respond to live listener comments). I listen to shows without a super chat that cover fantasy sports and are uncensored (without congratulating themselves for it constantly). This feed: no super chat (which you’ll hear about constantly), but also censorship because they don’t want to upset their overlords (which you’ll hear about constantly). “Sorry Joe” is easily the most irritating part of listening each week. So much so that I’m using the bulk of my review to address it. If you’re going to mind your language… just do it! There’s no need talk about it all the time. Yet, listen I do because the information is too good to pass up. It’s an essential part of my fantasy football experience.
  • Id@ho
    Good stuff
    Fun podcast. It’s like listening to 2 Simpsons characters on acid discuss fantasy football. They mostly get it right, but are liable to spin off on tangents like positive vibrations or the fabric of the universe. In any case: an insightful, refreshing take on FF.
  • Perdusa
    Excellence
    The dynamic between Sigmund & Cecil is excellent. A blend of fun commentary and super useful information. A weekly listen for me to feel comfortable before setting lineups and talking football.
  • TecmoZack
    They Know The Football
    Starting listening around week 6 last season. Amazing advice and just all around righteous dudes. Recommend for sure.
  • Martin OD
    Excellent
    Great show
  • @Pat_Thorman
    An OG pod that still sets the standard
    Any amount of time listening to Sig’s perspectives (on just about anything, but esp football) is very well spent.

    Dynasty coverage!
    Love Sigmund and Adam chopping it up in dynasty. I’m personally buying Jerry Jeudy this year! Great listen!
  • idp_fanatic35
    Love the IDP content
    Let me start by saying that Sigmund Bloom is the greatest entertainer across the fantasy football landscape. He’s also a gem of a human being. I love any show he’s on but especially the IDP episodes. I’d love to see more of them!
  • Bryn Swartz
    Mostly enjoyable football analysis
    I enjoy the podcast for the most part. The quality feels very amateur and I find myself never excited to listen to the episodes but I do find it informative. Also did you know that Cecil Lammey badly wants to share info on the air but he just can’t so he’ll tell Bloom off the air? At least once a month he goes through the routine where he pretends to start saying it, he stops, and then announces that he’ll just have to share this highly classified information with Bloom off the air. I’m always disappointed that I’ll never know this top secret fantasy info that I imagine would forever change how I look at the sport of football. It’s times like that where I wonder why Bloom doesn’t just say after the podcast ‘dude you can stop pretending to have super secret NFL info, you’re actually embarrassing yourself’.
  • Vegas Vipers
    Justin Fields Apologists
    Fields had a bad week 16 game because of the weather? No, the Buffalo defense shut him down and held him to 11 yards rushing. Josh Allen had no problem with the weather running all over the field and scoring 35 points. Come on guys.

    Alfredo
    Even if he didn’t know what he was talking about (he does), I would still listen. Love the charisma, delivery, and banter in a fantasy football landscape that often lacks some.
  • The-Irishman
    One Host Away From Good
    Sig is an enjoyable personality with a lot of interesting insight and unique perspective. The problem is you have to listen to Cecil at the same time.
  • incarvite7
    “I’ll tell you more off air bloom.”
    Cecil, please stop with the I want to say it bloom, I’ll tell you more off air. Either say it, or don’t bring it up at all, my god. I’ve been a religious listener for the last 3-4 years. Today I’m done because I’m so tired of cecil saying “I’ll tell you more off air bloom.” We get it dude you’re a beat writer with info.. either say it on the show or just tell him off air. Stop telling us you’re gonna tell him. My god dude.

    My fantasy football Buddha time.
  • Msingleton
    Cecil stop whining about social media…
    We get it already. Blum, fix your internet and mic…actually neither of you sound that great like other podcasts. Find myself having to volume up and down constantly to listen. Enjoy content but fix the audio issues.
  • dstrom21
    Great/Helpful Football talk but…
    Cecil’s whining and complaining EVERY show is getting hard to take. We get it, you hate social media, you hate Youtube, you hate certain beat writers, you hate certain coaches, you hate certain players…every single show.
  • Loren Stokes
    Volume
    Need more volume please. Great podcast
  • jgile123
    Please turn up your volume
    Volume up please
  • mchammertime970
    Less “sorry Joe” it gets old after a while. Say it or don’t say it at all.
    It’s bad podcasting when the guy on the power grid is on a speaker phone. Clean up the audio and this site is awesome.
  • fantasyfreak28
    Sigmunds voice
    His voice alone and the way he articulates the analysis alone is a reason to listen to this pod!

    Gifted Football Guys!

    Love this show, but…
    Where are the ‘on the couch’ episodes?
  • Fantasy Football Cowboy
    Best FFB show available
    This is the best fantasy football show available. The host Cecil Lammey and the entire cast of football guys are so knowledgeable about football and how it relates to fantasy football. This is a serious show that delves deep - not the superficial stuff I listened to when I first started. I can’t even stomach some of those other shows that tell me what I already know. I am in a few very serious redraft and dynasty leagues - so I am looking for the breakthrough player weeks before it happens. Other shows tell you to pick up guys that are already owned. No kidding - I should pick up that player. I don’t need stupid jokes and artificial quips. I need serious dialogue that gives me information before it becomes obvious. These guys are the best and I’ve learned a ton about football as well as fantasy logic. If you are looking for a show that is serious and still fun to listen to - this is the show for you.

    Cecil Lammy is just bad
    Good football advice until Cecil opens his mouth and gushes over the unrealized dynasty of Denver Donkeys
  • DDA321
    Doesn’t play
    Love the show. These guys are so good and insightful, I listen to every show every week plus their draft special each year. But lately the dynasty show episodes with Chad and Jordan are gone. All erased from podcast app feeds. Hopefully this is a simple fix.
  • Chris Oelkers
    Best FF Pod
    Excellent content
  • Petective
    Dr Demento and Mad Magazine
    The fantasy football information is excellent but who cares? Cecil and Sigmund grew up with Looney Tunes, Dr Demento and Mad magazine. These are my people and I’d listen to them if they were podcasting about specialized permeable media for phosphorus removal. Thank God the shows about football.
  • On the Rail
    The Audible Is The Gold Standard of FFL Podcasts
    These guys have provided a superior level of content and analysis for well over a decade. Cecil Lammey and Sigmud Bloom have the kind of chemistry that rivals Tony Kornheiser and Mike Wilbon on ESPN’s PTI. They value their audience and are grounded and humbled by their successes over the years. From matchup analysis to Dr. Jene Bramel’s injury rounds, to roster acquisition recommendations, to personal connections you feel with the hosts- this is the best show around. Thanks for your great product and connection with your audience for the past 16 years I’ve followed you - I appreciate your dedication and excellence.

    occasional good insights, but
    Enough w the ‘everyday’ bit from Cecil. Jesus, stop! I think Sigmund is paid per times he says ‘Cece’. Also annoying!
