Show Notes
Domonique Foxworth is here to discuss his role as a staff writer on the new show, "American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez." Dan does begin the conversation by complimenting Domonique, but he immediately shifts the topic to bad offenses around the NFL, Trevor Lawrence's inconsistency, the Ravens losing inexplicable games, and the shocking Tua commentary from Antonio Pierce. Domonique sticks around for an extra segment to finally get the plug in for his new show and he explains what it was like to work on this show while delivering expert commentary, but the crew just wants to make fun of casting choices. Plus, the Saints dominance, Justin Jefferson's Garrett Wilson quote, Aaron Rodgers leading the Jets to victory, Baker Mayfield's continued great play, and Tom Brady's voice. Also, Dan very seriously takes out Taylor Swift and the Swifties for ruining one of the greatest players we've ever seen at the tight end position, Travis Kelce.
