  • Creepy — Especially talking about Bill’s kids

The impact of BIl’’s work and fame on his children is not your business. It’s already bad enough that you are obsessing over him with this podcast, leave his children out of it entirely. I don’t care what your intentions were. Having someone discuss the impact of your work on your children is not okay and it not... more

The chemistry between Bill and Sal has changed, and the podcast now focuses more on recapping rather than predicting matchups.

He's caught up in the moment and the NFL gets more eyeballs and gambling money, likely influencing his statement.

Q: What direction do you think he's going to go, with the possible free agency scenario?
I think he makes a big play, tries to hit home run. I think he's still young enough to make that one last play.
