I felt better about the draft a few days later and maybe being sober helped as well

I think this was the best podcast, beginning to end, that you all have done. Kudos!

Derrick- * Copyright Violation* Consider this a cease and desist warning for using ‘flyer’ and Sam Howell in the same sentence. That also earns you a

Just a thought on the Howell pick (and I am NOT unhappy with it) and the 2020 vs 2021 editions. Maybe the fact that he was surrounded on offense by multiple future NFL players at all of the skill positions and on the line added to the ‘20 performance just as much as the loss of all of that talent affected the ‘21 performance. So realistically perhaps his true ability lies somewhere in the middle.

[Om]

That would explain a lot.

 

[Boone]

Pretty sure that’s coach Gordon Bradley, lol. Not doing flubber lips so Spurrier is out.

 

[Win4us]

Ok, but what in the chimera hell is that mascot supposed to resemble?
