Guy Haberman, who’s filling in right now for the legendary Greg Papa, is busy, but he made time for us. Since Guy considers me a “football outsider,” we decided to have fun with that status. In this podcast, I operate as Football Skeptic, wondering why the sport is how it is, and questioning if indeed it should be. Because you can tell me I’m an idiot here or in the Group Chat.

Topics include…

* Should NFL teams just never practice in preseason because Full Health would be a massive Week 1 advantage?

* Are injuries luck?

* Does my defensive shrinkage theory explain why NFL offense is slipping?

* Am I a FOOL for wanting an NFL defense with 11 fast totally interchangeable guys?

* Is Kyle Shanahan actually a genius?

* Am I biased against Shanahan because he’s inarticulate?

* What determines which NFL positions get money? Is it merit based?

* Bill Belichick, Tom Brady skeptic?

* Why did the 49ers lose the Super Bowl by not expecting a predictable play?

* It’s about Acceptable Quarterback, not Exceptional Quarterback
