Mainstream sports media is tiring, isn’t it? Hot takes, bland statements, and generalizations have all worked in combination to ruin the viewing experience. Here is where Pick a Side comes in. We are a podcast dedicated to creating genuine conversations about sports. There will be bias included (we all have them), but they will always be backed up by facts. Come join us on our journey to creating the best sports podcast possible. Hosted by Joel Moran, River Brown, Andrew Velez, and Joel Dehls.Become a Paid Subscriber:

    Horrible Takes and Jets Bias
    I used to listen to every episode the day it dropped or even watch the live broadcast on YouTube but the last 3-4 months have been extremely exhausting listening to horrible takes and way too much Jets bias. Riv and Dehls stay consistent for the most part but Joel flip flops constantly and doesn’t stand on anything. Drew just talks… and talks…. and talks…. without making any real points. Drew struggles a lot trying to make his points (especially with NBA) and will eventually just agree with one or the other guys. All that being said, I’ve been listening for years and I love these guys! Just wish the show would get back to being great like it used to be!

    LOVE this podcast

  • YourBiggestFan3509
    Great Arguments
    This podcast is great. It has a lot of good insight on sports and has really good arguments. My favorite part about this podcast is the arguments and what they have to say to each other to win a debate. It’s really fun to listen to as someone who loves sports and has opinions about them too. And to hear what other people think is awesome. Highly recommend. Great pod

    Joel Being a Horrible Moderator
    Joel is a horrible moderator. Doesn't let his co-host’s talk & he always sounds like he’s a chicken run around with his head cut off. Always arguing with himself. Get this clown out of here
  • xSpartan53x
    Love the show but
    The show is great but I can’t stand that I can’t ever hear you guys unless I have it full blast and still sometimes it’s tough to hear you guys
  • Jruff1240
    Best analysis show!
    This show is amazing! Most shows have one person dominate the podcast but each of you guys have an equal voice. I hate when podcasts when one person has one voice that is above all the rest of the cohosts. When one person dominates the conversation gets very boring and I stopped listening to those podcasts. You each voice your opinions and that is when the podcast and analysis is amazing! Keep up the good work and each one of you keep voicing your opinions! Forever a fan!

    Five Star Pod
    Genuinely my favorite basketball podcast. I literally binge all of the episodes and give them a listen while at work. Me being the same age as you guys definitely gives this podcast an extra boost in terms of relatability to you guys. Keep doing the great work boys!!

    Dope podcast
    I’ve been looking for a sports podcast like this. Great stuff! My only concern is the amount of talk on a trash QB.
  • tuasuckson cu
    Amazing
    When Joel said deebo got traded I thought it was in real life and I’m a 49ers fan and I almost cried
  • bobfjmcsdgf
    Bad, horrible actually
    Worst sports podcast out. A bunch of nobody’s talking and I doubt any of them played sports. Don’t waste your time there so many better sports podcast
  • goodluckGunz
    Does Drew actually cry tears or does it just sound like he is always crying?
    Show would be a 5 star without drew. Love the pod !
  • balladz06
    Funny and amazing
    These guys are so funny I love how long they are 😂😂😂
  • Antonio Pierre
    Love the growth!!!!
    I’ve been following Joel & co since they had around 300 subs on YouTube. As someone who wants to enter the sports media realm, it was refreshing to see people in my age demographic talk about sports. The show is full of fun guys and heated debates but what’s impressive is that the show is still cohesive and direct. Keep up the good work… #1 sports podcast OTW!!!!
  • Zach Wilsons knee
    Great dynamic
    Only have been listening for about 2 months but these guys know ball. Not for casuals.

    My Favorite Sports Podcast
    These guys have great perspectives on sports, particularly my favorite NBA and NFL. They are very funny and entertaining. I listen to them while working because it keeps me awake and prevents me from falling asleep. They make me want to start my own podcast with my friends. LOVE THESE GUYS!!!

    Pick a side
    I’ve been listening on Spotify for a about 75 episodes and they are one of the best sports podcasts, and one of the best podcast in general. They have biases and stick to their teams other than Riv and that’s what makes it such a great pod

  • papotico522
    My favorite pod to listen
    Found them on tik tok while I was scrolling and they caught my eye around spring time especially when Joel had his crazy takes. The chemistry the crew has when they get into it is what really makes me a fan of the pod. Keep doing it boys much love

  • StevenB0319
    Just another sports podcast
    Every podcast as their own special “thing” that gives its identity. Pick a side is a good podcast. Just don’t see the “thing” that could separate it from other podcasts. Their pretty funny though

    I accidentallyStumbled onto this podcast in 2021 with the lead up to the 2021 NBA draft one of the best accident I ever made lol I’ve been hooked on this podcast ever since in fact these guys Joel Moran River Brown Andrew Velez have added to my desire to do podcasting I love the well thought out takes Joel Moran in particular is a student of the game of basketball and football I’d argue all these brothers are better at breaking the game and the player’s strength/weaknesses better than a lot of your National (Repetitive Hyperbolic) Analyst on Fox & ESPN Pound for pound these brothers have the best sports podcast out n twice a week they are kicking a** Thank you brothers for a phenomenal podcast each n every week You guys are helping so many people with amazing n necessary sports commentary Salute to you my fellow New Jerseyans

    Just awful takes.
  • J._.dot
    All love
    I love what y’all do. My favorite nba podcast and y’all help me get through the work day. Also shout out my guy Riv bc me and him be having the same opinions on everything. Keep doing what y’all do. P.s. clippers in 5 next year 🤷🏾‍♂️😴
  • Msw2389
    Simply amazing
    Shout out to the guys! I love the feeling, the commitment, and the analysis they bring! They get their hot takes off from time to time, but not as bad or cringy as some of the big names. Keep it up and stay humble!
  • Rvb.03
    Great show
    Just started watching last week and I’ve already seen 5 episodes
  • Lil Punish3r 15
    Amazing Podcast
    These guys have a great show! They may have crazy takes most of them are great takes, they have good supporting details to back up their takes and they vibe greatly off each other. The way that these guys feed off of each other and just have a great time makes it an amazing podcast.
  • Landon-go bucs
    Amazing
    Been watching since week 6 of the nfl season and these guys are consistent and they never leave a fan base out this is the only good podcast that gives me Good Jaguars news (bucs fan but love trevor Lawrence) but their nba and nfl knowledge I’d awesome and I love how they keep it interesting while discussing a long range of topics over the 3 hours it may look long but sure doesn’t feel long I’m always super excited for Friday because I can listen to the pod at work keep up the great work and I fully recommend this to any one that wants to listen
  • NMynuk
    Highly Recommend
    Always watched your clips on TIkTok and was late to the party on the full podcast but this is one of the best podcasts out there. Fantastic takes on the NBA, typically groups this size don’t work but Joel is a great host and manages the discussion marvelously. Let’s get to 100 reviews!
  • Mr_Ch3wy
    Riv
    River for the win in this podcast
  • odb_ama
    Top Tier
    I’ve been following these guys for a while and they’re really in tune with the modern day NFL/NBA. Every once in a while there’s a bad take by someone, but as a whole the crew does a great job of updating viewers on sports news and debating different NFL/NBA topics and players. The production is great and the show is high quality.
  • funkoguymax
    Great Show
    What I love most about this group is the commitment to offering a variety of topics that span across all teams in NBA/NFL. Most sports pods you’ll find just talk about the best teams or players. I can always count on these to talk about my Giants (even during another train wreck season). Joel does an amazing job of moderating the debates and certainly knows the ins and outs of the game. Drew brings a ton of energy to the pod. He’s always the guy to spark a debate or challenge his cohosts. The NBA/NFL specific guys like River, Joel, and JC bring expertise to their episodes, and I find cycling the crew keeps the episodes fresh with different voices and opinions. Also, shoutout to their man behind-the-glass John for the editing. This is a top notch show on all platforms. Definitely check these guys out! They’ve been grinding for a couple years now and have a great crew and future ahead!

    10/10 Podcast
    I found y’all last year when one of your Justin Herbert videos blew up and you guys hit 1.5k and cut the pick a side cake on the podcast, can’t wait to tell that story when y’all make it big. Keep grinding fellas y’all are really killin it for real!!
  • hbggv hb cc

    Love the guys on the show and love the way the guys talk about sports. Love to listen to their knowledge on sports and their takes on different topics. Been listening a few months and love not only the sports talk but just the guys talk and feel connections with all the guys. Easily my favorite podcast, 10/10 information and 10/10 guys!

  • Onbloodscuhz
    Yessir
    By far one of the more in depth podcasts that I listen to...great chemistry within the guys and some of the hot takes aren't that bad. Hilarious when it gets tense in the studio especially when talking ab9ut the Lakers or how underrated Dame Lillard is. I'll be around for awhile for sure...but 4 hrs tho???
  • BSAM16
    The best NBA and NFL pod
    New favorite pod/show. All the guys offer different opinions and views without the show being annoying and just debate. The basketball analysis is always spot on and the NFL content is solid as well. Consistent great NBA and NFL content, these guys kill it.

    River being a dad is crazy
  • NextJones
    One of My Favorites
    The gentlemen of the Pick A Side pod have insightful takes, great banter, and a rapport that makes for easy listening. They’re knowledgeable about the entire NBA which I appreciate as the fan of a small market team.
  • S.triplett123
    Best Sports Debate Pod
    Waiting for the next episode is the worst part. You won’t be disappointed listening to this pod!
  • Rich Homie Carl
    Great pod
    I wait for every episode to drop to listen to while I work, non biased ( other than the occasional knicks takes ) keep up the great work guys and I highly recommend this to anybody who love basketball/football. Also I think y’all missed Duarte on the summer league guys who’ve impressed, go and look at his games and how complete of a player he is and how he can immediately impact the pacers, love to hear what y’all think about him.
  • Devvglass
    One of my favorite podcasts

  • GinoVelez
    Great Show with Great Chemistry
    These guys bring it every show. Really demonstrate their knowledge and the chemistry between the three is obvious. The show does not feel like stats being puked out to the audience - they have fun with it. Can’t wait to hear what’s next
