Summary

Rich and Brockman start the hour recapping the historic trade in 1999 that saw the Saints send a TON of draft picks to Washington in order to draft Texas Heisman Trophy-winning running back Ricky Williams. Rich examines the latest on the Carson Wentz trade front and wonders if the Eagles asking price is too high for the once highly-regarded QB, and explains why Matthew Stafford to the Rams will be one of the most compelling storylines of the 2021 NFL season. Former All-Pro NFL running back Ricky Williams and Rich discuss his new ‘Curious Questions’ podcast based on his guests astrological signs, how different his career would have been had he not been drafted by the Saints and reveals which team he was hoping would draft him, if he would do that notorious ESPN the Magazine cover again where he posed next to Mike Ditka while wearing a wedding dress, why he had to sell his Heisman Trophy, and what Tom Brady and Rich’s zodiac signs surprisingly say about their personalities. Rich wraps up the hour previewing Trevor Lawrence’s pro day and offers up some advice for the soon-to-be #1 overall draft pick. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
