Paul:

I missed out on hearing Scott Jenstad, but tuned in to hear Lindy. Very good
stuff for the NFBC player. I enjoy how when Lindy mentions his son Gabe's name he just
starts laughing. Gabe is one of a kind for those of us fortunate enough to meet him in
Vegas.

Think they do a replay, I signed up for the 7 day "FREE" trial to listen on the internet.
Hoping to look later to see when/if the show is replayed. The Erickson/Van Rieper show is
a great listen for NFBC players. May purchase the signal during baseball season just for
there show.

Not sure, I was only able to catch a few minutes of each, but was cool to hear just straight NFBC draft recaps on Sirius.

Both guys talked mainly about their thoughts while going through the Main drafts. Scott loved his early Cargo pick, then coming back with Kershaw in the 2nd, he said he felt good there having a 5-tool stud OF in the first, then the stud pitcher in baseball who gets to watch locally and not have to worry about someone else getting those starts. Known Scott for about 2 years now, he's very comfortable talking on air, way more so than Lindy who was definitely nervous about being on the radio.

Lindy was talking about being rattled a little after his HOF acceptance speech, said it threw him off a little, but he was happy his son was there to get him back on a level keel before the Main draft started. Spoke about Hanley and how he was his target at the back end of the 1st in most drafts, he said he was looking for Kinsler or Granderson in the 2nd, but Kinsler was gone in the 1st and the guy at 15 snagged Grandy at the turn, so he had to "settle" for Justin Upton, a guy who he thought would be long gone. Said he also thought getting Greinke/BJUpton on the 3/4 turn was a very good result -- can't say I can argue that, really liked his start when I looked at their draft board on Saturday.

Paul and others, just as an FYI with play back of sirius xm programming. There is an app for the Ipad/Iphone/Ipod that works great, but sirius/xm does not catalog shows as say podcasts might do. In the case of the fantasy channel, you generally can replay the last two shows only, unless you planned ahead and scheduled a recording. The apps are also clunky in trying to fast forward or rewind during a show.

I have one of the old XM to Go radios (the thing looks ancient now) that records shows like Howard Stern if you set it up to record, where you can scroll through and pinpoint segments to listen, that is another great way to listen.

Overall, I have been very impressed with the quality of the Fantasy Sports channel and how entertaining some of the shows are. I have to say, when in the car, if Howard isn't live, I definitely find myself listening to the Rotoexperts or Rotowire shows...good stuff.
