  • Hard Stop! Had to abort today’s mailbag.

    Really a hypothetical flag football game versus the NBA finals⁉️ That’s a legitimate question that you’re going to lend credence to coming off the combine.

    Congratulations on the kid, but we don’t need PxP on parenting.

    Stick to real FB. Instead we get you breaking down the Raptors roster on a FB pod.

    Be better! 😡

  • Authentic and unapologetic style

    I’ve been listening to John for over eight years, going back to when he was in California around the Marin County area. What I enjoy most about his show is the style, it feels like things you’d hear sitting around with buddies, going back and forth and talking through real topics without pretense.

    John does a great job weaving in insights and anecdotes from his past experiences to where he is today. I appreciate that he doesn’t sugarcoat his views. The world we live in is cutthroat, and he lea... more

    I don’t know man, you had a pretty good thing going on YouTube. Netflix isn’t a platform for live or instant reactions. A lot more people use YouTube than Netflix. Poor decision

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kyler Murray to the Vikings, Dak Prescott’s Wedding Drama & Massive NFL Mailbag
Q: What are your thoughts on the Colts, Sauce Gardner trade, and Daniel Jones contract situation?
The moves show teams gambling on upside and leverage; big trades can backfire if the acquired players don't meet expectations, and Daniel Jones' contract, while controversial, reflects market dynamics and the Texans/Jaguars-like urgency in some front offices.
Ravens CANCEL Maxx Crosby trade with Raiders + NFL Free Agency Mailbag
Q: What did the Ravens' decision reveal about medicals and trade feasibility in the NFL?
It underscored that medical evaluations can veto even lucrative deals, and that teams will back out if the doctors flag red flags, which can abruptly alter the game plan and negotiation dynamics.
Ravens CANCEL Maxx Crosby trade with Raiders + NFL Free Agency Mailbag
Q: Why should the Raiders keep Crosby instead of trading him for multiple first-round picks?
The host argues Crosby is a cornerstone player whose value isn't easily replaceable, especially when team-building around a rookie quarterback is still in flux; the medical concerns and the high cost of draft capital make a trade risky, and keeping Crosby offers a clearer path to immediate competitiveness.
Trades in the NFL, true first-round talent in the draft, The Ravens and Lamar
Q: Why is there a belief that there are only 15-20 true first-round talents in a class when 32 players go in the first round?
Because 'true first-round talent' is a grading notion based on perceived value, ceilings, and market willingness to pay; teams may draft players without a top-grade, due to scarcity of picks later in the round and the cost of moving up or back, effectively balancing supply and demand.
Derek Carr talks Max Crosby's future, Derek's return to the league, NFL Franchise tags
Q: How has your perspective on the Raiders and on Max Crosby evolved since your time with the team?
Crosby is the heart and soul of the defense, a leader who elevates the locker room, and the organization would be wise to keep him if possible; the business side can complicate those decisions, but Crosby's presence is irreplaceable in that building.
