    Too loud
    I love Mina & the show, but Ben is too loud. Not just sometimes either.
  • Durham PG
    Kimes and Solak
    Mina is great but I’ll never forgive ESPN for inflicting Ben Solak on us

    Woke Garbage

    Magnificent
    Truly the best NFL podcaster and a renaissance women. Generally guests are great, esp Foxworth. Solak is a bit much sometimes. And Mina never has other women as guests. But 5* nonetheless!

    Enjoy football podcast except when Solak is on
    Mina is great. She sometimes talks too fast. If Ben Soak is a guest again, I’ll delete the episode. He is too loud, and talks even faster than Mina. It is not a speed talking contest. Glad to see the swearing has decreased; it adds no value to the show.

    Love the show!
    I’ve been a listener for several years. Maybe since the first year. I’m a huge fan of the show. Some constructive criticism - if Solak is going to be a permanent fixture of the show, please please please dial it down a bit. It’s too much yelling. He talks too fast. Sometimes he ramps up too much and sounds like a cartoon chicken. I prefer when the show is conversational, not performative like First Take. I recently turned an episode off for the first time because of how grating he was.

    Favorite NFL Podcast
    Domonique and Mina breaking down games always teaches me something. And I love the long-form weekly previews with Ben Solak. The other guests are good too, but I would be perfectly happy if it was always Mina and Ben. Specifically, I love how much detail they go into on every player on the line, in the secondary, the scheme, and more. Those previews are almost 2 hours right now. They could be 4 hours and I’d listen to every minute of it every week. I‘ve been looking for a podcast that’ll tell me more than just what’s going on with the QB or skill players, and I think I’ve finally found it. I listen to every episode and would gladly listen to more.

    The worst take I’ve seen all year
    If you truly think we’re in the golden age of quarterbacks then you can’t be taken seriously. Gonna go listen to one of the other ten million nfl podcasts that don’t embarrass themselves like this.

    Solak rules
    Mina, Solak and Dominique are a pleasure to hear. Solak’s enthusiasm is great.
  • Skolbear
    Over Produced, Under Contented
    I enjoy Mina. I enjoy Ben Solak. I have enjoyed Dominique for years. All 3 are great. No reason for this pod to fall off in quality like it has. Player interviews are garbage content, Mina. You know this. Do not let ESPN or Omaha homogenize a once-detailed show.
  • srg_chi
    Love Mina
    Long time fan of the pod and the football mind of Mina. One note: Ben Solak - bro, stop interrupting your host. I get it you’re jacked up on football talk but let Mina make her points and keep the flow. I don’t man, I like your takes but dial it back a notch.
  • Ryanb1017
    One of if not the best podcasts
    She’s absolutely entertaining and hilarious. Seeing where Mina started years ago when I first heard her filling in as a host and or guest on the Le Batard show w/ Stugotz to where she has risen now is truly an amazing journey and well deserved for her. If you have any issues with Mina or her content, I’m telling you that it’s 100% a you issue and you should really reevaluate choices in life
  • large_spaghetti
    Best nfl pod
    Mina has always been awesome, love that the show strikes a good balance between in depth content without being too much every week. Would love more Dominique and less of the super fast talking yelling guy
  • FartLicker_69
    Not What It Used to Be
    Mina’s great but the show has lost its pizazz in recent years. Used to be super fun and unique! But now it’s just like every other football pod out there
  • DaFroKing
    My fave NFL Pod
    this is a great show. it’s super informative and i can easily say i get really good insight on a lot of teams i wouldn’t normally follow. lastly and most definitely not least, big fan of the lenny puns to start every show
  • wincener
    Great show
    Great football analysis. If this show would pick games against the spread on the Thursday show it would be perfect. Obviously people are going to pick a -9.5 favorite to win outright, that's not really helpful information

    Mina Kimes + Ben Solak = 5 Stars + Auto-Download This Pod
    Mina is one of the best & brightest people in American media, period — not just sports media. (She told Bomani Jones she doesn’t even bother with the NYT crossword puzzle until near the end of the week, for Pete’s sake.) And “Benny Soles,” as Philly’s own Sheil Kapadia refers to him, is the youngest rising star in the crowded world of NFL coverage. Ben was even mentioned by the legendary Peter King, in his retirement sign-off statement. Putting these two lightning-fast thinkers & talkers together, is a recipe for entertaining & insightful podcasting, in America’s favorite sport. You’ll learn a lot while you can’t help but smile, as Ben’s voice crescendos & Lenny makes an occasional appearance — so you don’t want to miss it.
  • Funkduster
    1/2 great
    Mina is awesome. Her co-host is infuriatingly bad.
  • Awful gameuknow
    DEI HIRE
    go look at her salary, and the former PROFESSIONAL PRO BOWL NFL PLAYERS that have been let go by espn analysts…..but they keep this lady as lead analyst? Lol F Disney
  • Big Dawg Ron
    Ollie Connolly 👑
    Ollie is the best and his chemistry with Mina is always great—more Mr. Connolly more frequently please!
  • Hawkis
    Great football information
    Love my sister from 🇰🇷
  • Marco_1001
    Mina Kimes is cool
    Great podcast. I don’t listen to espn as much anymore but this particular show focuses on the product of the game
  • Lolo13419
    Love Charlie Kravitz AKA Mr. Kravs
    On ANY and ALL shows he is producing and/or hosting on
  • DaveM22
    Great content but too serious
    Mina is one of the most talented, well-spoken, intelligent, funny, and charming people in sports media. So it makes me sad to say this show is pretty hard to listen to at times, because it’s so laser-focused on nfl breakdowns (which are admittedly among the best around) that Mina and her guests often forget to bring humor and make this show entertaining. I’d love if more humor, silliness, personal tangents and nonsense were mixed in, or it would be great to bring back some kind of segment that facilitates this, like the old five questions. This absolutely comes from a place of love! I really want this show to be great and one I look forward to, but as is it feels like not leaning into this is a waste (or at least misutilization) of Mina’s talent in that respect.
  • HMS_MIKESTRIKE
    The Most Consistently Great NFL Program on the Market
    If you’ve come across a better piece of NFL related media, it was probably a documentary, a book, or a limited run show. But for a show that airs once or twice a week, year round, Mina Kimes is the top of the mountain. Knowledgeable enough that it never feels like the hot take fluff you see on TV, entertaining enough that it’s not putting you to sleep

    Nowhere else to look for football analysis
    Love this show and Mina. She can do no wrong in my eyes 🙂
  • Jordanrodgers234
    Sports for dummies
    A dumb down take on sports for idiots who never played or watched film in their life. This show is everything that's wrong with ESPN today. Terrible content
  • Baksifut
    The best
    The best in the industry. Smart, funny, knows ball. Thank you for your work

    .
    Loved this week’s episode.
  • AndrewFootball84
    Love the podcast
    Love this podcast … Apologies but please never invite Dan Pizzuta on again, this is the first podcast I had to turn off … a lot of verbal vomit and doesn’t let anyone else speak … and his analyst is like a talking computer … we can look up the stats
  • dceagle123
    Friend of the Pod
    Love this podcast! But, whoa! Dan Pizzuta has to be the hardest grader ever…. A C++ for the Saquon deal to the Eagles?! Really…. And this, after you both essentially talked about how this could be something special. I swear I could hear Lenny growling there! Great podcast, though!
  • Bob22729
    The best
    I’ve never written a podcast review but after she just nailed the Dave Canales to the Panthers call before it happened, I feel more compelled than ever. She speaks with confidence, doesn’t take herself or this silly game we all love too seriously, and demonstrates her brilliance consistently. She’s one of the best commentators to ever do it. Listen to her.
  • Tgactu
    Love Mina Kimes!
    This is my go-to NFL commentary show. Mina is both knowledgeable and fun to listen to. Her guests are great. Love Lenny and Dominique. One issue: is it woof or wolf?
  • Jordan AD
    I love Mina
    I watched her on NFL Live while I was in prison. Now that I’m out I listen to this pod at work. Life is impoverished without Mina!
  • kyle cre ;)
    Mina is a beast ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
    A+, top tier certified ball knower. she’s a beast, love all her content
  • PipoIsGawd
    Mina rocks
    Also, as an opener “the only podcast where one of the cohosts thinks all ‘ruff-ness’ is necessary.”
  • YetiRock
    Love It!
    Mina is fantastic at what she does!
  • Josh in Kansas
    Mina pronounces “won” correctly
    I always say “won” like “on” instead of “wun” and my wife makes fun of me for it, but since Mina says it this way and she’s a genius I am vindicated
  • I. C. Weeener
    Perfect no notes
    It’s the best football podcast. Best analysis without taking itself too seriously. Good rotation of guests who have their own POV. Mina comes with stats and breakdowns that showcase her knowledge while displaying an unbelievable amount of humility. Good show!
  • Jayupthea
    Wow
    Deshaun Watson is a serial sexual predator, but sure, keep ignoring that because it’s convenient. I expected better from you. Unsubscribing

    Great podcast! The Bills-Broncos game reinforces the notion that there’s no low like a Buffa-low!
