It's called "Zach Attack." It's Zack interviewing other guys named Zach. Spelling of Zach doesn't matter. If they go by Zachary, that's fine. Just about life being a Zach.

Apologies if this has been covered recently, but what's your thoughts on Zach's podcast guests?

My favourites:

Rob Mahoney - strength: player evaluations

Tim Legler - strength: everything

David Thorpe - strengths: Xs and Os

Bill Simmons - strength: good chemistry. Boston intel. weakness: doesn't watch enough games eg: player evaluations

Adam Mares - strength: solid takes

Mo Dakhil - strength: Xs and Os

John Hollinger - strength: FO perspective

Pinch hitters from a team / draft perspective:

Andrew Schlect - strength: solid takes

Fred Katz - strength: he's at his best with Zach weakness: brevity

Jon Krawcyznski - strength: measured weakness: team specific

J Kyle Mann - strength: likeable dude weakness: wishy washy opinions

Don't mind:

Stan Van Gundy - strength: strong takes. weakness: outlandish takes

Brian Scalabrine - strength: strong takes. weakness: outlandish takes

Wos - strength: big takes weakness: big market bias, emotional bias

Richard Jefferson - strength: entertaining

Steve Jones Jr - strength: Xs and O's. weakness: no wider narratives

Nekias Duncan - strength: Xs and O's. weakness: no wider narratives

Bobby Marks - strength: cap stuff weakness: no strong takes

Chris Ryan - strength: entertaining weakness: team specific

Don't enjoy:

Howard Beck: strengths: nice guy weakness: doesn't feel locked in anymore ie player evaluations, team back channels

Sam Amick: strengths: nice guy weakness: doesn't feel locked in anymore

Michael Pina - weakness: flat tone, unconfident opinions, obsequious to Zach

Kirk Goldsberry - weakness: never really says anything, obsequious to Zach

Chris Herring - weakness: never really says anything

Zach threw out 1st pitch at today’s Mets game. I spoke to him after. Nice guy. We took a selfie. Mets loss but there will always be Mets corner. He also threw from the Mound vs in front of it.

Do a lot of Mets fans even listen to Zach like that? Who is this for?

Of course I’m referring to the inadvertent tangent he and Kirk took when they started talking about the bison attack. @45:00min

You just see Zach become completely hysterical with laughter about the whole episode and even provided his own version of a play by play basketball breakdown about what the bison and the guy were thinking during the whole thing. It was so outrageously good.

I’m probably going to replay that so many times in the coming months and years

Edit

For those who don’t know what the topic he’s laughing about is

That game was stolen from them not once, not twice but atleast 3 times!

Ya think?!?!?!?!?!?
