Summary

With the Super Bowl in the rearview mirror (sorry, Austin!), Rob and Patrick turn towards the next great sporting event: the XFL! It’s mostly an excuse to talk about surprisingly controversial beer snakes, before discussing sports’ relationship with long COVID, confusing Manchester City with Manchester United, and ponder several listener questions, including the whether a former Columbus Blue Jacket mascot, Boomer, looks too much like a penis.

Hey everyone welcome back to Waypoint Sports and sports adjacent podcast that says

out to disprove the notion that people with lives in dedicated to pixels jumping across

0:07.7

the screen can't also be unhealthily interested in what nerds condescendingly refer to as sports

ball every super ball. Rob, I start off every episode with the same question.

0:18.8

Buddy, other bears back?

0:22.0

Well, you tell me there's nothing to these rumors that they're gonna deal fields, right?

0:30.2

All right.

0:36.2

So we just moved all right. Well, I'm taking this section in the notes. I am moving them up to topic.

1:05.0

And for some reason they aired on ESPN because you got to put something else from football on it

1:11.9

at all times. And yeah, the bears have Justin Fields and he'll be entering his third year,

1:19.5

which is not where you want to be in a rebuilding team in theory that is not usually the timeline.

1:25.6

But the bears are in an unusual timeline as a franchise. And the thought is,

1:43.3

keep Justin Fields and see which you can get out of somebody who showed unwillily will promise

1:48.0

as an athlete, but was not a particularly good passer for all sorts of reasons that could be very

1:52.7

easily trivial to things not related to Justin Fields. Or do you reset the clock on the team

1:59.3

entirely? You trade Justin Fields for probably two first round picks, right? Like I think he shows

2:05.3

enough promise you would get something comparable to trading back four fields. Take a Bryce Young

or a CJ Stroud or a free at the will lettuce Lewis something like that is one of the other quarter
