Superb episode! Thank you, Roy Wood jr.
great show!!!!
all these questions about Richardson, seems like he could be a good fit (for cheap) with Pete, Geno, and the Raiders
It seems like some people are justifying why the league let him drop so low. Now people will downplay how well he played. If he outplays the other QBs should he get the job even if he was picked 5th? Your guest literally said Shedeur is not ready. He didn't have to process and go through reads. Read defenses. Please don't say it was a preseason game or it's the Panthers. R. Wilson won his job in preseason. D. Carr won his job in preseason. Bruh, preseason counts for a team without a QB.
The simple way to explain Tim Duncan to a lot of modern fans remains the same: Tim Duncan was a better basketball player than Kobe Bryant.
The best way to explain how good Tim Duncan was to Americans is simply to say that he was a better basketball player than Kobe Bryant.
