Steve interviews Michael Lombardi (00:09:47) from The Athletic and the GM Shuffle podcast. Michael joins us for the first time since 2012 to talk about The Sopranos, Bruce Springsteen on Broadway, and other pop culture tidbits. After the television talk, Steve and Michael get serious about football. Michael shares his thought on the importance of pass rushers, tells us how he would stop Patrick Mahomes and explains why he doesn't get carried away with news coming out of OTA's or training camps.
Also, Freddie Coleman(00:35:19) from ESPN Radio joins us to talk about hosting a national sports radio show in the age of the podcast. Freddie starts us off by telling his side of the story about when he was going for the same job at ESPN Radio as Mike Schopp. Freddie explains the art of interviewing under the gun, tells a story about the time he went long with Venus Williams, and projects the future for sports talk on terrestrial radio.
Steve starts the show thanking everyone who helped with the reboot and plugs his QUAZ one last time. The book club throws a book into the trash and announces another. The show ends with one last thing about Game of Thrones (spoilers).
