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.

The King is back!! , Pod King that is. Welcome back to you and Gabe , Bo . Another 5 star effort with this episode. I have been a listener to the Pod for over 3 years. I am continually amazed and impressed with the entertainment you provide with your sports takes, and the information you folks share regarding other topics. You and Domonique chatting it out on Fridays is very cool, but so many of the first two pods of the week where you look at of some current cultural occurrence along or sports, and the ICYHH portion are outstanding. Congratulations to you on the new ESPN deal, and looking forward to watching Game Theory on HBO once it resumes. You, Gabe and rest of crew take care.
