Always good…until Dan melts down
Such a great podcast until someone mentions the Jets - then we have to listen to Dan throw a temper tantrum for 5 minutes.

Dan is obnoxious but it’s still a fantastic show
ATN is a 5 Star podcast but Dan is obnoxious as can be. Sometimes it’s hard to tell if he’s deliberately trying to be obnoxious for the sake of the character he imagines he plays on the show or if Dan is just genuinely obnoxious but either way it’s grating. Also, give it up with the pregnant pauses. They only serve to troll your listening audience into thinking the episode has a technical issue or your podcast paused because a call is coming through or something.

What a Thursday show!
I listen to 9hrs of podcasts 5 days a week and this show is easily my favorite. And has been for years! Thursday’s show was fantastic. Not a ton of actual info...but was fantastic! From the waking up seg and the kicker deep dives and poor mark making his philly case. And, well done Erica—-the production value and super fast drops speak volumes. The speed that you get the drops in really puts your stamp on the comedic timing of the show. You may not be able to sing like la syd, but you are a legend :)

All around great show!
Love the guys’ show format and conversations. I’ve learned a lot over the years about the game that’s played on the field and in the front offices. Ive been listening since 2018 and have listened to every episode. I still sometimes go back to episodes with Wes from time to time, but the guys have done a great job the whole way through.

I feel enlightened
This is like two wine masters, sommeliers, talking about wine, not necessarily you or me arguing if I like Burgundy or Bordeaux better.

Off-putting

My Favorite Podcast
ATN is the absolute best podcast out there. Love the heroes. Listening to these guys (and Connie) is a highlight of the week and I’m always looking forward to the next ep. Heed the Call!

A Farewell to ATN
I’ve been a listener of the show for over 5 yrs, and have also gone through the entire back catalogue, I’ll never forget the 1000’s of hours I spent listening to your show. Unfortunately (like all Heroes) they have lost there way and have come to believe that their opinions (especially political) are indeed fact. When in fact those opinions are just opinions. Perhaps one day they will see the error of there ways (I certainly hope so), unfortunately I won’t be listening to hear it. Good bye.

Somewhat disappointed
Show seems to have dropped off as of late. From Dans interrupting others to inaccurate information like saying Baker Mayfields 1 year contract for 3 million when it was a 4 million dollar contract. Not trying to be mean because I’ll still listen sometimes but it’s my least favorite and I listen when I’m done with all the others.

Should sweep all podcast awards every year
Simply one of the best podcasts around - no qualifiers …. Come for the football insight, stay for the laughter, the dark quasar that is Sessdog, Dan’s many nicknames and Triple G’s honking about rap, Connie Fox the Tiny Box … and everything in between. We miss you so much Chris but you’d be so proud of how the heroes have continued to grow while remaining true to your legacy … Heed the call!

Not bad
The nasally Jew that call’s himself 60% “g” could talk 60% less and not interrupt the pasty gentiles as often.

Get to the point
Too much blah blah blah get to the football Like free agent marked 32:00 but doesn’t start until 40:00 Episodes should be so much shorter
Awful gameuknow

We listen to the podcast to hear about football, not your political opinions about guns and the NRA. The hosts points were honestly ridiculous. Knock it off
Landsrson
Too political
While I appreciate each member on the ATN pod, I’m tired of hearing your uninformed political viewpoints. I’m not listening to hear you speculate about world issues while assuming the entire audience is in agreement. Give me some dang football talk! Going to unsubscribe for now and give ATN another shot in the future. Thanks guys. Also, Connie Fox is the best part of your show.

Best NFL Show Around
These guys have great chemistry, are funny and fool around, but are also extremely knowledgeable of the game. Can’t think of an exclusively NFL show around that even comes close to as good as this one. RIP Chris Wesselling

Head the call!
One if the greatest podcasts ever. Hopefully you have friends but If you don’t this is a close second. Forever RIP

Thank you Dan
I follow too many podcasts. Now I follow one less.

Pretty good but not great
Ultimately I like the analysis of the hosts but they often get off track and talk about stupid things. At least once an episode they will focus on some silly sound effect or storyline instead of the actual game(s).

Ugh
I’ve followed this show for years, because I felt a connection to the intellectual aspects of the hosts and needed a respite from the mysogeny of the sports world . However , I’m finally having a hard time as one of the hosts won’t relent in their advocacy for a rapist child abuser just‘cause he’s good at catching
Gabeygoat
Love the show again
Guys do a great job getting through all the divisions, nice to have actual analysis and funny segments instead of just people firing off dumb takes. Hard to still listen after your team is already knocked out of contention but hosts who are Pats and Jets fans going through it too 😂
Goose Cinci
True Heroes
Been listening since 2014. Endlessly entertained. I even went back and listed to the 2013-2019 in background at work. Perfect blend of football and semi-outdated pop culture analysis. Also I read through a bunch of reviews and 90% of the negative reviews are especially soft people who couldn’t handle the heroes very occasional (and not especially controversial) discussion of politics. To the Raiders fans complaining that they don’t talk about your team: It’s not their fault your team hasn’t been relevant since the invention of color television.

Favorite Sports Podcast Ever
I have been listening to this podcast for nearly ten years and no other sports podcast comes close. It’s less technical than some podcasts out there but where it differs is how it actually feels fresh and enjoyable. They don’t feel like NPC talking heads like most sports podcasts do and the heroes have great chemistry. Give it a shot. It’ll grow on you.

Pretty
Pretty good pod. Just wish you guys would do better with the timestamps. Some of them are off by 10+ minutes.

Funny and Insightful
Greg, Marc, and Dan (and Connie!) are so funny! started listening to this pod because my husband always had it on but now I look forward to listening to it in my regular podcast rotation!! Great league insight in a lighthearted funny way

Around the east coast
Should be the show name. Same old reporting by east coast guys who talk in depth about the giants and jets but gloss over everyone else. Lip service. Same East coast regurgitating

Sessler is insufferable
IBut I’ve been holding my tongue for months. Mark Sessler is an absolute bore!! He is the most negative person I’ve ever heard and I wonder if he even likes his job. Other than that Dan and Greggy are the bees knees. Sessler get a life!

I love your podcast I have been listening for five years now. I've never missed an episode. Why don't you guys do around the Around the NFL summit? I am sure there will be sold-out tickets in the US. Just pick a state and your fans know about it. I have a lot of questions to ask Mark

Not impartial
Just listened to the eagles KC post game and they ONLY talked about KC. Never again

Generational talent
I’ve been listening to the heroes for over 10 years. Being introduced to them by Russ Tucker since the early days of the show and while they’ve gone through many changes through the years, they have never lost their voice and originality. Think about the Beatles, with nobody being Ringo. After sadly losing Chris Wessling a few years back - who I considered to be their North Star - they have continued to deliver at the highest level, featuring many friends and now fixtures of the show, like Colleen Wolfe, Patrick Claybon, Nick Shook and many others. This is the best podcast out there - it almost feels like you’re sitting at a table with your friends talking football, but they know the game in and out, provide unbiased analysis and on top of that, they share some inside on their personal lives. Thank you for many years of great inside and honoring Wes’ legacy by continuing to be authentic, despite the censorship attempts by the shadowing leaf figures.

Best nfl podcast out there
I don’t listen to any other sports podcasts. In fact, I don’t even look up the days scores until the amazing Sunday night recap show. I like being surprised! Still love this show. But the volume is so low!!!!

BOATS
These men carry boats. Great coverage. Marc carry’s the logs also.

Not the same podcast
I used to really like listening to this podcast, but I agree with so many comments on here that they go off and talk about something completely random and it’s annoying when you want to hear about the games. Plus, it’s so obvious they favor certain teams and will spend so much time talking about them and then barely acknowledge others. I get that your personal favorite teams are easier to talk about as hosts, but there are fans from every team listening to your show and you should do your job and talk about all the games.

Pandemic-proof pod!
Best pod on the planet! Has me laughing to myself constantly. Reminds me of watching football with my college buddies. But it’s more than football that has me tuning in every day. Just listen!

THE BEST
I listen to this podcast every night before I go to bed I love getting all of the news on the games
beetle is cool
I love this podcast!
Please more Nick and Patrick, they did an excellent job covering week six, but of course the original crew is great two (Including Wess)
The mythology guy
But he won’t win a superbowl
In all honesty, it’s refreshing that Rodgers is gone. Yeah he’s funny now…, but the drama and a conference championship loss is coming. GW didn’t react so that he didn’t scare the kids. JB in that same situation would react either because he doesn’t even know what planet he’s on.

Stop with the Uber Eats Ads
God I love ATN but I swear if I have to fast forward another Uber Eats Ad, I’m going to throw my phone.

Off topic too much
Use to be a favorite of mine. No podcast I listen goes off topic for so long the way ATNFL does. It’s hard to listen to now.

Love ATN and never miss an episode!
A little puzzled however by Tugboat’s thinly veiled Eagles dislike. The so called “tush push” seems to set him off…

1 star
1 star makes sense because about 20% of the podcast is about football. im honestly pro-banter between the hosts but at some point this is just listening to small talk from people with a "thats what she said" level of intellect/humor. awful.
Just another mol Eliza

Wes Said he really likes this Olave kid…
Great show full of heart from start to finish

Not so much useless gab
Half the show is useless gab, just talk football
stockneck
Not football talk
Show is really not about football it’s just them making off hand comments about a game and then talking about nothing for 10 minutes then moving into the next game.

Commercials blow
This show is a smoldering wreck of whatvit used to be; listener since the beginning, but since the passing of Wess, the early-and-often commercials and the endless annoying banter without getting to solid content torpedoes any value. Almost feel like they need a laugh track for all of the dumb jokes that don't land. Constantly bringing in the producer Erica for personal life updates weigh heavy on the show (at least if you like the show in its original format). Really you guys have nothing else to talk about??? Its time to find someone who can replace the seriousness that Wess brought to the show to keep the pod on track. Plus, a little less on the Pats, browns and jets and more on other teams in the league would help. Plenty of pod nfl competition out there fellas, hope you tighten things up.

Breaking news, regular news, and football insights that aren’t annoying or overkill
It’s good stuff.

Heroes!
Love the show - usually consume it on YouTube. They keep things fun and fresh! Could DEFINITELY do with less Jets talk, but I get that they’re gonna pander to NYC since it helps their numbers (It still gets very tiring for small-market fans).

Look in the mirror season.
A long time listener, since late 2015. But let me cut to the chase - I think you fellas need to look in the mirror and evaluate the show like never before this season. This is something I think we all need to do, this isn’t unique to you guys. I think you all have strengths unique and independently however, it seems as though you’ve reach a point where you’re holding one another back… Dan, you’re a great showman! As boisterous and entertaining as any of the NY sports radio greats, you wear your heart on your sleeve and no one can deny your passion for Jets football and entertainment - you’re always cooking up fun bits and segments. However, is the format getting a bit stale? Seems as though nothing new is being brought to the table. Are you fulfilled? I get it - why stop something that’s so wildly popular and successful especially when it’s still growing, but it’s almost like The Simpsons where, they’re probably still getting new viewers all the time but the glory days are over. Freshen things up or have the courage to start something new. That’s what Ricky did. She could have stayed on as producer and had a great career, but she’s striving for more. Gregg, you’re intelligent, very humorous, and probably have the highest Football IQ of the gang (despite the fact that Marc’s the only one who played 😉). I sometimes feel like you’re dumbing yourself down to maintain the energy of the show. You’re constantly trying to end segments and freshen things up but most of the time we get more of the same. Sure, maybe it’s a bit on the surface, but I think there’s some part of you that wants to move forward. Stagnancy isn’t good for anyone, even when one is stagnant upon a successful thing. Marc, you are a wordsmith and a great storyteller. The guys are constantly ribbing you about writing another long form because you’re genuinely great at writing. I personally have always thought you should be writing Sci-Fi. You have the mind and spirit for it. I wish you would stop toiling away your talent on NFL articles you yourself would admit mean nothing to you. What do you really want to be doing? TL;DR You guys are always saying “Heed the call” so I just want to ask, is this what life is calling you to do? Continue making AroundTheNFL podcasts? If you can comfortably respond “Yes!” Then all the power to you. You’re making a lot of people happy, seemingly having a good time in the process, and probably making a decent living too. Wishing you all well. I have loved the show for many years, I just think it’s becoming a little stale at this point #GradualDecline …
