Its time for the 2021 football season!

What happened in the 2021 South Carolina Spring Football Game? Who stood out? What are the instant takeaways?

How did the Steelers of the 70s, the 49ers of the 80s, the Cowboys of the 90s, and the Patriots in both decades of the 2000s build a dynasty? Where are the teams who drafted in the Top 5 of the 2011 ten years later?

I'm flying solo and asking the most important question going onto the NFL Draft: Should you take a QB in the first 3 picks? History and evidence would say, no.

This week I talk with my friend Jake James aka "The Thoroughbred" Jaxon James from his days as a professional wrestler. Jake takes us through his journey from small-town South Carolina football player, to North Greenville University, to Newberry College, and into the world of professional wrestling.

Our first of many episodes with a slightly below average football fan (but an extremely funny guy and great friend) Adam Russell. We discuss the upcoming NFL Draft, and weirdly enough Twight movies, Gangs of New York, the Grammys, and dad jokes. Basically, it's a lot of fun while also being a deep dive into the game of football.
