Summary

John opens the week talking about a portion from Mike Silver's new book that talks about how Tom Brady didn't want Sam Darnold in Vegas as the Raiders QB. Next, John talks about George Kittle's comments on how much rookies were making in college with NIL and if it's a mistake for certain players to leave college early because of how much they will make in college. Later, John dives into his take on the Aaron Rodgers doc on Netflix, and the way too early conversation about which coaches are on the hot seat heading into the season.
