I made it through about 34 minutes of the podcast. I was driving so I was a kind of captive audience. The amount of clichés that the assistant coach from UMass used sent me over the edge. I can’t stand listening to sports personalities talk in clichés. “We’re just trying to get the girls to stay in the moment and be the best they can be.“Lax247 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 11:25 am Just listened to a new podcast that goes over several of these past weekends games.

The first part of the show was too technical for a fan like me who has never played lacrosse and has only recently become a fan since 2015. All the lacrosse jargon. I doubt very much that they have fans like me in mind for the concept of the show, which is fine – but just to say it wasn’t my cup of tea. I would much rather read one of seacoaster’s posts than listen to these guys go on and on with technical jargon enough to strangle a horse. Not to mention that the woman kept interrupting the man in the first half of the show. He’s asking a question and he’s not even half done with it and she interrupts him and starts talking. I guess I’m spoiled by Felger and Mazz, a sports talk radio show here in Boston. That’s one of the things Felger stresses all the time, “I talk, you talk – that’s how this works.“ In any event, that’s my take on the podcast. Thanks for recommending it however.
Oh, and one more pet peeve. The woman cohost said that 17 yellow cards were issued in the Michigan/Jacksonville game. That’s incorrect. Three of them were green. I know that’s a small point but that kind of stuff irks me. Do the research!
