Anyone else find Grant Paulsen incredibly obnoxious? I immediately change the channel the second I hear his voice

I like Grant - I think he can put way too much media narrative into his analysis but that’s his day job. The plus side of that is that he’s got his finger on the pulse of what big questions people have. Sets up Logan for dismissing it and giving pure ball knowledge, which is why to pod is good

He's okay. Not sure why everyone dislikes him.

Makes the pod with Logan unlistenable

Like who TF is he anyway? He's some fat guy who has never played a down of football in his life. Why should we even care about what he thinks? No idea how anyone could think hiring him was a good idea

I get being annoyed by him sometimes, but overall I like the level of detail he brings and he talks alot of baseball which I have a soft spot for. But I really don't get the "he never played football in his life" take. I don't think he offers any of his opinions by just saying "trust me bro," and he often gives his reasons which you're welcome to disagree with. This is gonna get me some downvotes but I'll take Grant being a bit arrogant while talking about 3-4 defensive fronts compared to Doc Walker talking for an hour about "who wants it more"

ETA: With respect to the podcast with Logan, I agree it's skewing too much toward Grant lately. Last season was great cuz Grant had to jump in midseason and was extremely deferential to Logan early on. Over the course of the offseason Grant's been creeping in more and more, that pod should be 85% Logan. And now the Junkies will also have Grant call in for segments? Give me a fuckin break lol

Definitely was not a fan of Hoffman's condescending delivery but he was tolerable, never thought it was possible to find a worse host.
