Steve interviews John Feinstein (00:07:15)author of The New York Times best-seller, Quarterback. John talks about his relationship with Alex Smith and explains why it was so difficult to watch him suffer a season ending injury last week. Also, John talks about the importance of the quarterback position, the business of football, and the developing role of veteran QB hired to mentor a player drafted to replace them. Also, John touches on racism and the QB position, the incredible Drew Brees, and a few thoughts on the Tiger/Phil PPV special.
Also, Bryan Curtis (00:45:34)from The Ringer is back to chat about a bunch of different topics. Steve and Bryan talk BIG XII football and the Oklahoma/Texas rivalry, bias in the media, and dig into his column on the coverage of the midterm elections.
Steve starts the show with a few plugs and the disappointing news that he couldn't talk Paula Bennett into appearing again. The book club has an announcement about a book by one of the most important radio hosts in history. The show ends with one last thing about what Steve is thankful for this holiday season.
