Summary
Charles Robinson is joined by Yahoo's Dan Wetzel this week for a conversation about the reignited backlash against taunting penalties, sparked by a questionable call against Chicago's Cassius Marsh on Monday Night Football. Washington Football Team star edge rusher Chase Young also calls in for five minutes to give his thoughts on the taunting penalty, WFT's upcoming name change & his work with USAA in honor of Veteran's Day this Thursday.
Later in the podcast, Charles & Dan chat about Odell Beckham, Jr. clearing waivers and what, if anything, he could bring to a contender this year as a free agent before undoubtedly seeking free agency again this spring. They also dive into Aaron Rodgers' wild two appearances on The Pat McAfee Show and why now, after Jordan Love's performance in Kansas City on Sunday, Rodgers has more leverage over the Green Bay Packers than ever.
In the second half of the show, the guys hand out their mid-season awards to the most deserving individual performances in the first half of 2021. Can Aaron Rodgers even win the MVP this year after the last week's antics? Is Kliff Kingsbury a lock for coach of the year? Can Mac Jones sneak up on Ja'Marr Chase for offensive rookie of the year?

| 0:00.0 | The word of the day is posturing, and the NFL snuck a little bit of it in on Wednesday. |
| 0:09.2 | Now you probably missed it unless you're one of the 100,000 or so people who engage in sports |
| 0:14.4 | massacism by actually following the league's officiating account on Twitter. |
| 0:19.0 | Unfortunately, I'm one of those people, but to steal a line from a league lawyer, I'm |
| 0:23.5 | doing the Lord's work. |
| 0:25.1 | Interestingly, it provided a little bit of a nugget this week, when the league snuck |
| 0:29.2 | in an explanation of the now infamous taunting penalty called in the Pittsburgh Steelers |
| 0:33.8 | win over the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. |
| 0:36.6 | A flag that was thrown by NFL official and social sciences teacher Tony Correnti, who |
| 0:41.4 | also delivered a hip check to Bears linebacker, Cassius Marsh, that has become one of the |

| 0:48.3 | We'll get to that hip check in a moment. |
| 0:50.9 | But back to that NFL officiating account. |
| 0:53.6 | As it does every week, the account issued a short video of vice president of officiating |
| 0:58.1 | administration, there's a mouthful, Perry Fuel explaining some of the more controversial |

| 1:06.6 | And slipped into the middle of it, Fuel did the league's bidding and backed up the taunting |
| 1:10.8 | rule once again as he has all season by explaining why Correnti threw a taunting flag in that |
| 1:16.7 | Steelers Bears game. |
| 1:18.5 | To sum up the moment, if you haven't seen it, Cassius Marsh, Sack Steelers quarterback |
| 1:22.7 | Ben Roth, the Spurger, late in the game, is a pretty important moment, and in the midst |
