This is the best of the Doug Gottlieb show on Fox Sports Radio.

Michael Lombardi was joined us previously.

I'm actually rereading his book, Gridiron Genius. Of course, the beginning of the book talks about the beginning of his NFL career where he was working with Bill Walsh and was essentially his chauffeur. Of course, he worked with Bill Belichick as well. So he has a podcast, which I'd recommend to you. It's called GM Shuffle. By the way, our podcast, Doug Gottlieb show, available every day after the show. And I have an all basketball podcast called All Ball. My guest this week is Bo Ryan, legendary Hall of Fame coach at Wisconsin and Wisconsin Platfield. He's my guest. You'll love the inside, I think, that he shares with us on All Ball. Anyway, GM Shuffles the podcast. He was talking about the quarterback position. He was talking

about Tua to Violauga, and it's not just the hip. Tua has a long history of injuries during his

short period of time at Alabama. Take a listen. It's not just his hip. It's his ankle. It's his

wrist. He broke his wrist the first day of spring ball one year.

And then they fixed it and he came back and he rebroke it again. I mean, he's brittle. He is brittle.

You can't deny it. Yeah, I don't know if he's brittle or if he's injury prone or what the, but I mean, if you think of the,

of the parts of your body, which individually if they break down, it could be problematic,

but explained. He had the multiple ankle injuries, right? They did that kind of quicky,

arthroscopic surgery thing on him as well to get him up and

ready again he had that done a couple times so in and of itself the ankle problematic but not

the biggest deal in the world you could make the parallel to step kirk the wrist injury all right

it's football it's his wrist we got it fixed he seemed to throw the football fine Didn't affect his accuracy or his arm strength, right? Then you have the hip, which is the most troubling, and he appears to have escaped long-term disability because of it. But we don't know. There's still one more checkup, and we don't know if and when it'll become arthritic at an earlier point in time. And really, that's what happened to Todd Gurley. Like, Todd Gurley is demanding his payment, which he's owed by the Rams. But there's a couple of things that led to Todd Gurley falling out of favor and ultimately being cut. You know, first it was his knee. Then it was his work ethic, attitude,

and ultimately the knee is arthritic.
