If you ever have trouble sleeping just listen to the opening couple of minutes of SRO. The music alone will solve that problem.
Chuckle, I've never noticed the music.
SRO is 6th in my podcast listening order:
1. Galdi - for all around coverage of everything, he's absolutely the best
2. Bram Weinstein - I've been a fan of Bram's since before he left for ESPN, and find him both entertaining and also he'll drop the odd nugget because he's an actual employee of the team. He also has a fairly good mix of "homer" vs. "realist." He can be a bit much at times, but I like him .
3. Keim - for actual information. NOTE: I don't worship at the alter of Keim the way some do, but he is rarely wrong, and has generally good intel. Because he's well respected and the elder statesman of the beat reporters, he has a good feel for what is going on.
4. Washington Football with JP Finlay and Mitch Tischler. I never thought I would say the pod would suffer when Pete Hailey left, but it has. It's less entertaining. I listen to it for purely entertainment value, never really expect anything news worthy. But they are pretty funny.
5. Blind Big - for very obvious reasons.
6. Standig Room Only. I like Ben. I don't find him as boring as others I suppose. And I like his interviews.
I'll flip on the Take Command podcast from time to time, but I just haven't gotten into it for some reason. I like Logan Paulsen, but for some reason, it's never clicked with me.
I keep going back to try Sheehan again here and there, and every time I do, I am reminded why I stopped listening to him. He might be DC Media Royalty, but I've given up on him. I find him overly boomerish, self congratulatory, opinionated, and somewhat insufferable at this point.
I guess while I'm at it, as most know, I can't stand Chris "pregnant pause" Russell. I find him to be a bloviating fool with a terrible speech pattern. Mr. 2 Minutes Rick Snider is also on my hit list. Nationally Fake News Florio is a moron, and Thor Nystrom is the embodiment of everything I hate about draft coverage.
While Warren Sharp is extremely detailed about everything, and generally insightful, I think he tries to fit analytics to some things where they don't fit. And probably most importantly, the only reason to have a mustache like his would be to be a star on a 1970's throwback porn website. Also, his video production value could use some help, I have suggested he hit up some OnlyFans creators to show him how to work a web cam, because he literally says (or at least said) "and now I'm going to click the button on my phone to flip the screen" and then points the camera to his laptop to show graphs. We can do better. Let's do better.
