The IDP Show

It's the week of Thanksgiving and we're thankful for all our beautiful listeners out there! Josh and Adam convene in the Sode Shack to break down all the action from a weekend of defensive slugfests.

From linebackers and safeties to defensive tackles an...

Josh, Adam, and Bobby from The IDP Show team up...
