Smart People on Lamar Jackson and Other Business of Football Matters

On the mid-week show, Conor and Gary take a look at three big Week 4 matchups. Will Doug Pederson get booed in his return to Philly? (And, also, do the Jaguars have the defensive formula to slow Jalen Hurts and friends?) How will the Bills offense respond in Baltimore after 90 plays in the South Florida heat? And will the Chiefs play nice offensively, and continue to put the pressure on Tom Brady defensively?

Then, special guests Rashad Jennings and Lindsay McCormick, co-hosts of Sports Illustrated’s new business of sports podcast “The Bag,” join the show to run through the Lamar Jackson contract situation as well as some of the most important sports business stories affecting the NFL today. (Make sure to go listen to The Bag!)

Plus, a look at West Bromwich Albion’s “Boiler Man” and what to do about Take 5 in any kind of candy rankings.
