Lance Caporossi and Sam O'Toole are two of the biggest, and most honest fans of the teams that call the Mitten, home. Together they preview games, they make fun of mock drafts, they analyze games, they interview former Mitten athletes, coaches, writers, and bloggers. The best part is neither of them played professional sports so there's none of that bias.
