On the latest MLB offseason edition of  Inside the (Rob) Parker, Rob leads off with a deep dive into Tom Brady's retirement from the NFL. Football writers worship at Brady's feet so all signs point to him being a unanimous Pro Football Hall of Famer. But, given Brady's history of cheating (DeflateGate and SpyGate), do you think he would still get into the Hall of Fame if baseball writers were the ones doing the voting? If the writer kept Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens out of Cooperstown for circumstantial evidence at best, you don't think they'd do the same to a convicted cheater like Brady? Guess we'll never know. Later, baseball content creator Gary Sheffield Jr swings by to discuss his father's Hall of Fame candidacy, why he was so disappointed to see so many writers hold the Steroid Era against his dad even though he never tested positive, why his father's history of coming up clutch in the postseason should matter more, why some guys have a hard time playing well under the bright lights of New York and much more! Finally, Rob closes the show by praising MLB for putting an up-and-coming star like Jazz Chisholm on the cover of MLB The Show 23 - another 'MLB Bro you need to know' doing big things!
