A veteran sports writer and an angry fan debunk the faulty narratives surrounding Boston sports.
The Entitled Town podcast is a refreshing and honest take on the New England Patriots and the sports media coverage surrounding them. Hosted by Dave Brown and Iron Mike, this podcast offers a real perspective on the news about the Patriots that is often lacking in traditional Boston sports journalism. It is a must-listen for any Patriots fan looking for insightful analysis and genuine discussion.
One of the best aspects of The Entitled Town podcast is its commitment to providing honest coverage. Dave and Iron Mike are not interested in "hot takes" or baseless speculation, but instead focus on delivering content based on reality. They provide thoughtful commentary and bring a level-headed approach to discussing the team, which sets them apart from other sports podcasts.
However, there are some drawbacks to The Entitled Town podcast. The sound quality can be a bit rough at times, which can make it difficult to fully enjoy the content. This issue is attributed to Al, who presumably handles technical aspects of the show. Despite this drawback, the quality of the discussions makes up for any minor audio issues.
In conclusion, The Entitled Town podcast is a gem for Patriots fans seeking unbiased reporting and meaningful conversations about their favorite team. Dave Brown and Iron Mike bring much-needed perspective to the coverage of the Patriots and offer insights that are often overlooked by mainstream sports media. While there may be some technical hiccups along the way, this podcast consistently delivers engaging content that keeps listeners informed and entertained.
