Today's podcast in the open will start with a very simple question,

0:25.7

who's the undisputed best in sports? Because I actually think the field is wide open across a lot

0:30.7

of sports. Daniel Jeremiah, I'll talk a little draft. We're also going to talk about what teams

0:34.6

are doing defensively against the top quarterbacks in the NFL and some of the guys that are struggling.

0:39.2

And Van Lathen hit me up. He's worried about Spencer Ratler. He considers him a child of his because

0:45.2

he loves QB1 on Netflix so much. I know it's that a little weird. Trust me, it works out. Van was

1:27.1

simple question. Who is the best in the sports that we talk about the most on this podcast? All right,

1:31.6

we talk pro football. We talk college football. We talk NBA. And I just did a little talk in baseball. So

1:35.2

I guess that counts. I'm not going to talk about some of the other sports that don't follow us closely
