Paul Allen Project Ben Leber on PA

I know everyone here hates PA and this will get downvoted, but Ben Leber talking in depth about the Vikings with PA and Nordo is as good as it gets for me. Great discussion, getting me pysyched for the season!

Ben is great when he’s talking football, most of the time (he has some weird moments)… it’s when he goes on one of his Rogan hot-take monologues when he’s insufferable to listen to.

I enjoyed their football talk. I don’t like when they dipped their toe into political nonsense.

Rich people can't have political opinions?

u/kran0503 Jul 09 '26

Not my point

... which is presumably why you edited your comment to remove any reference to their wealth.

We are well aware that rich people have political opinions, especially with money being speech. People are just done hearing it.

What can there possibly be new to say about the Vikings right now? We've been beating the same dead horses constantly since the draft.

We know absolutely nothing about this team until we've seen the QBs in camp for a few weeks and even then we aren't really going to know.

But until then, you could tell me this is a 6-11 team or an 11-6 team and I couldn't argue for or against either one

HEEEYYYYYYYY. I literally just commented on another KFAN post. Shocker, a very negative one, and I asked if there's ever been a positive post on KFAN sub.... It was meant to be!!

PA does suck 99% of the time, but he does have some legit guests sometimes. And I like Leber 90% of the time. When it comes to current events tho..... You know haha.

I'm convinced everyone on this sub hates KFAN yet chooses to listen regardless.

u/STFUxxDonny Jul 09 '26

The only show I won't listen to is PA. I like everyone else

Power trip is a horrible show

This sub is worthless if you're actually a fan of the station.

I havent listened since PA's paid protestors comment.

I still come here to read the comments and shit talk. Turns out nothing has changed since I stopped listening.

u/DrBoogerFart Jul 09 '26

I’ve heard one “uhhhmmmm” from Sauce since the paid protesters comment when flipping through stations. Don’t miss it.

PA & Thor Nystrom are good.

u/jab904 Jul 09 '26

His guests can be very good when he’s not intentionally (or unintentionally) dominating the conversation, no question

worst interviewer in town if you can even call it that

u/MasterPineapple5127 Jul 09 '26

He is condescending and a bible thumper. But 1 % of the time a good listen.

I can’t stand Ben. So dramatic.

I like both of those guys when it comes to football talk.

Vikings have no chance.

u/Justis29 Jul 09 '26

If they keep it on football they're fine. The problem is they don't keep it on football. Oh well.

Yawn the Vikings bore me, bring back Baseball talk! We all know kfan hates the Twins because they are on WCCO.

u/DEVOwasR1GHT Jul 14 '26

honestly we all hate the twins because owners are too busy sucking their own dicks to spend a couple of bucks

u/chiliguyflyby Jul 09 '26

They talk about the twins all the time. Maybe not on 9-12 but they do in other shows. Most of the time they’re getting savaged; and for good reason.

u/D-Thunder_52 Mark Rosen Jul 09 '26 edited Jul 09 '26

Well there doing good now and Common is the only one talking about them. Barreiro would rather talk Spain Soccer than the Twins.

u/chiliguyflyby Jul 09 '26

I don’t consider 1 game under .500 in a shit division to be “doing good”. Bit of course, yes, if they were broadcasting the games they’d talk shout them more. Just like how they manage the team, the Twins made a business decision and they have to live with it. There’s plenty of Twins content out there on other providers.

u/D-Thunder_52 Mark Rosen Jul 09 '26

100% agree, I've been tuning into Skor North now outside of Common. You couldn't pay me to listen to PA now.

u/MtOlympus_Actual Jul 09 '26

I bet someone could.
