Could really use timestamps on these, guys. It’s a lot to ask to jump around 40+ minutes if there’s just one or two players you wanna hear about.

Sorry about that. Trying to do the best we can with the resources we have. The rundown listed is sequential, so hope that helps.

Understood. I do try to hop in in order, but the main issue is that once a player is mentioned upfront, their name usually isn’t mentioned again, so you have to find the little 15 second window to be sure. After that it’s a lot of “he” and “him” rather than the last name of whoever’s being discussed.
