Listen in as we tackle the pressing and complex issue of systemic unfairness in sports, shining a light on the scapegoating of coaches of color. The conversation heats up as we discuss the massive contract of Steve Sarkisian, which naturally leads us into a passionate debate about the NIL rights for college athletes. Amidst these heavy topics, we also share a personal milestone, contrasting the celebration of life with the somber duty of attending a funeral. Plus, don't miss our homage to the legendary Lawrence Taylor and his iconic number 56, a testament to the unforgettable impact he left on the game.

 

Quarterback evaluation is at the forefront of our discussion as we dissect the role these key players have on their teams, questioning if star power or solid leadership is the essential ingredient for success. We speculate on the futures of Jimmy Garoppolo and Justin Fields, weigh the pros and cons of draft strategies, and admire Derek Carr's team-first approach to his contract. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who loves the tactical side of football, complete with hypotheticals that will have you pondering the best moves for your favorite team.

 

Our analysis doesn't stop there! We dive into team strategies for the upcoming draft, evaluating the rankings of college quarterbacks and the potential impact on teams like the Washington Commanders and the Chicago Bears.
