The Book of Joe Podcast begins with hosts Tom Verducci and World Series Champion Joe Maddon welcoming Philadelphia Phillies Hitting Coach Kevin Long.  Hear an interesting conversation about how some of the best hitters in the game get even better.

Kevin takes us through his playing career and making the transition to becoming a coach.  Kevin explains how working with Carlos Beltran gave him confidence and how he started fundamental work by breaking down the swing of Barry Bonds.  Tom highlights Kevin working with four different teams that all went to the World Series.  Joe reveals what it was like working with specific hitters like Derek Jeter and Kyle Schwarber and how sometimes his job was being a psychologist to address issues on and off the field.  We wrap up with a reading from 'The Book of Joe' where Kevin picks page 333, which addresses Joe's exit from the Cubs organization.

The Book of Joe Podcast is a production of iHeart Radio.

On today's episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) get things started by sharing their thoughts on Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers' choke job on Sunday night against the Detroit Lions. Making matters worse, Rodgers once again helped push the tired narrative that this could be his final game as a member of the Packers. Will he retire? Is he going to demand a trade? The smart money says neither. It would be absolutely crippling from a salary cap perspective for Rodgers to play anywhere but Green Bay in 2023. Sticking in the NFL, Black Monday is officially upon us and the Houston Texans' Lovie Smith was the first victim of the day. Given that several head coaching vacancies already became available during the regular season it's actually pretty hard to project who else might be giving their walking papers today but the guys did manage to identify a pair of NFC coaches who could get the call later today. Later, USA Today Sports national columnist Dan Wolken swings by to discuss why the 'Cinderella' story surrounding the TCU Horned Frogs doesn't really hold water, what makes Georgia's Stetson Bennett such a great college quarterback, how NIL and the transfer portal field has almost leveled the field in college football, if we should expect another offensive explosion in the Championship game like we saw in the semi-finals and much more! Finally, J-Mac closes the show with a very special College Football Playoff Championship Game edition of the Best Bet.
