  • Episode 14: Special Guest Kerry Wynn

    This week's episode brings a recap of another wild week in the NFL where a huge star signed a landscape altering contract and another high profile player made inexcusable comments. We also interviewed former Giants and Bengals DL Kerry Wynn where he talked about his journey from small town Virginia to the NFL.

    On the show:

    - Opening rundown: COVID shuts down non conference Big Ten games, Ivy League Football is being moved to the Spring, Woj is suspended, is Chase Young's season disappointing if he has less than 10 sacks?

    - Was this Patrick Mahomes contract a worthwile deal? How will this impact the qb market?

    - Desean Jackson's comments were obviously inexcusable, but the reaction has been a peculiar and a little hypocritical. 

    - Which NFL teams will be hurt the most by no fans in the stands? What type of team and what area of the country is most vulnerable?

    - Kerry Wynn joined the show at the 37 minute mark and he talked about a great deal of interesting topics ranging from his journey from a small town high school to the NFL to handling the media in a large market, and fighting for a roster spot as an undrafted free agent.
