    TK is a blowhard.
    TK is a blowhard. Stop it. Never says anything definitive. His writing has been the same way for 15+ years. Merc got rid of him and people hate when he calls into 95.7. Not even worth the troll.
  • Hot griller
    Substance no Clicks!!
    Tim and Matt provide real insights and don’t post for clicks!
  • physicsisgroovy
    Just skip anything with Tim
    Tim is fundamentally one of the most dishonest people in Bay Area sports media. He has neither of a knowledge of statistical analysis or in game experience. And his behavior online is bizarre and unprofessional. Honestly I wish nothing but the absolute worst for him.
  • Hubestar
    TK talks too much
    When you invite a guest, isn’t the intention to get his/her thoughts? TK talks 10x more than his guests…
  • Duckhunter44
    Dylan, you know…

    Good Content but Dylan Says “Kinda” Way Too Much
    I really enjoy your work, Tim. But please have Dylan work on not saying “kinda” so much. It’s almost every 4 words at times and gets annoying, so I have to stop listening to North/South. I’d give 5 stars otherwise. Thanks, and keep up the good work!
  • Anthony11a
    Great new pods
    Love the different approaches to podcasting from Tim and the crew. Suprised how much Ive enjoyed North/South.
  • Pagan74
    Garrulous Host
    Could be a great pod, Barrows is solid and good insider info on occasion. However the host can't get out of his own way and loves the sound of his own voice for my taste.
  • jennifer in berkeley
    no women’s sports?
    Like Tim’s work and read and listen often. but we have a new NWSL team Bay FC and an upcoming WNBA team owned by the warriors. womens sports are massively on the rise. how about some coverage? stanford women’s basketball is thrilling right now. if your podcast is about covering bay area sports leaving out women is ignoring a huge piece of the sports landscape.
  • Fade149
    Amazing
    Great podcast keep it up!
  • RealDealNiel
    I’m in
    TK was shameless in his relentless hardball questions for Lacob 😂 Love it
  • IM Maker
    The best in the Bay
    Great listen, great questions. Tim is the best in the Bay Area for perspective, and he already asks smart people smart questions. A must listen for Bay Area sports fans!
