John pleads his Hall of Fame case to the guys and explains why he doesn’t think he’s been elected despite his 133.5 career sacks.

We’re back! And there’s plenty of news to cover and dissect. Peter breaks down the Justin Fields trade, why Pittsburgh GM Omar Khan pulled off quite a savvy maneuver, and what it means for Chicago.
