The Average Pros got a little more average this week, adding another voice to the podcast. This newbie may sound familiar as he was a guest on Season 1 and is now back full-time.

Nonetheless, The Average Pros are here to react to some storylines from the past week and use them to form opinions for ROS outlooks.
