What's a podcast?
Great for him but there are so many qualified African American coaches overlooked who have been in the NFL for decades overlooked. Head scratching!
@adamschefter the Podcast is a compliment to your reporting. Great insight and back story.
Expected a stuffy business Shefty got a smart, thought provoking, and personal side of Shefter that makes him a great interviewer and fantastic presenter. Fun, smart, and I hope Shefter continues to explore his fun side. Dude is a talent.
Love the podcast, go bears
