2025/03/25

Two rounds in and patience has become an important commodity - even the podcast has dropped slightly later than usual. Though to be fair, that's more due to the heavy edit required as Coach Seags guest co-hosts! Bacon is in with plenty of stats and the Shiva Open Line welcomes first-time coaches to the SHIVA BLAST!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thedtshiva Twitter: @dtshiva_ Instagram: @thedtshiva Join the Shiva discord here: https://discord.gg/4h9EPdaYbu Leave us a Shiva Blast voicemail

It’s that awful time of year. 3 weeks before fantasy finals. Everything in alignment and then an injury here, a suspension there, another injury there, ANOTHER FUCKING INJURY and before you know it things start to fall apart.
