Hi, this is Josh Levine, and this is Slate Sports Podcast Hang Up and Listen for the week of November 24th, 2014.

On this week's show, we'll discuss Odell Beckham Jr.'s amazing catch for the New York Giants and the aesthetics of the one-handed grab.

Author and former Broncos receiver Nate Jackson will join us to talk about the DEA's

investigation and a prescription drug use in NFL locker rooms and what drug enforcement

agents are likely to find there. We'll assess whether there's merit to Adrian Peterson's

appeal of his indefinite suspension,

and we'll ponder if NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is turning into Roger Goodell.

Spooky.

And in our bonus segment for Slate Plus members, we'll talk about strategies for watching football on Thanksgiving.

Yeah, definitely. He's, you know, you can't talk Simon without talking Garfunkel, except if you talk Simon's solo career. The man in the Gabbardine suit is a spy. Now, it's not just up the New Jersey

Turnpike. There are highways and not just highways to get here. Also, hate to lay this on you.

There are some byways. Love a byway. Yeah. Byways are sort of the Garfunkel. There's a crossing,

too, depending if you go across Staten Island. Well,

byways are also like the ensuing of ensuing kickoff. You never hear a highway without a highway.

You never hear a byway without a highway. I'm sorry, guys. I'm going to be awake for 12, maybe 13 more
