I'm Jordan Roderig from The Athletic, the host of a new narrative podcast called The Play Callers,

a series about innovation, competition, and even self-destruction within the NFL's youngest coaching family.

The Play Callers will take listeners inside some of the brightest minds in football,

like you've never heard them before,

featuring exclusive interviews with Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVeigh, Matt LaFleur, Mike McDaniel,

and many others.

The entire series will be out on Monday, July 10th, on the Athletic Football Show podcast feed.

Find it wherever you get your podcasts.

In today's episode of the Sixers Beat,

Rich and I recap the latest reports on James Hardin and go over the various pathways the Sixers have

to navigate his free agency.

Enjoy the podcast.
