Summary

Farmer with a swell Donald Trump golf story, on the future of football in Los Angeles (which surprised me), and why Todd Gurley is a more valuable Ram than Jared Goff. Staley on the rise of unstoppable offenses in the NFL, on the fairness of the rules favoring offenses, and how much the game has changed since he entered the league in 2007. Hightower on the Patriots' 43-40 Sunday night victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, on the difficulty of facing an Andy Reid offense, on how often he's asked about his tackle of Marshawn Lynch that helped save the Patriots victory in the New England-Seattle Super Bowl, and on why the Patriots annually improve so much as the regular season goes on.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Peter King Podcast, where I take you into the world of football with me and we take a few detours occasionally, but we are mostly football and this week. We got a very fun podcast. We're going to have
0:20.8	Sam Farmer, the Los Angeles Times, to discuss quite a few different things.
0:27.4	Sean McVeigh of the Rams, what the future of football might be in Los Angeles the tremendous new complex in Los Angeles
0:37.3	And also he's got an interesting story about Donald Trump
0:42.3	Then I'm going to give you a little snippet of a conversation I had with
0:47.0	Joe Staley, the San Francisco 49ers veteran left tackle, and I want you to hear this because I think Joe Staley
0:56.0	who's been in the trenches for 12 years in the NFL has a great take on what's

1:47.6	Sunday, late Sunday night in Foxborough. I found this very interesting. A lot of times for people who don't get to
1:57.4	go behind the scenes and don't get to go into the bowels of stadiums and see how players react after games and what
2:08.0	teams are really like after games.
2:11.0	I found this very, very interesting and rather telling.
2:15.6	When I got downstairs from the press box after this game, I thought that I would go in and try to talk to a couple of chiefs
2:26.2	fairly quickly before I was going to go into the New England locker room.
2:31.5	And so I was waiting outside the chiefs locker room and so I was waiting outside the chief's locker room in the tunnel underneath
2:36.0	Gillette Stadium and the chiefs come walking off the field maybe like a minute after the game a ruckus celebration is
