Who's Actually Good?

We are back after a holiday break and a rough bout with the flu. Brandon and Neil have a lot of lacrosse to catch up on and some massive news to break down.

This episode centers on the question of the week: Who is actually good in the NLL right now? We (finally) get into the massive trade that sent Jack Hannah to the Colorado Mammoth and how that move is already shaking up the NLL landscape before diving into the high-scoring weekend, including the Buffalo Bandits holding off the Desert Dogs and Calgary’s statement win over the Seals. Beyond the box, we discuss the bittersweet news of Jordan Faison choosing football over Notre Dame lacrosse and what that means for the sport.
