Bill opened today's show by using Joe Montana's list of quarterbacks he would start a team with to highlight the Patrick Mahomes disrespect that has overtaken the NFL discourse this offseason.

The first hour concluded with Start/Bench/Cut, where Bill ranked the college football coaches that are most likely to stay at their current school the longest and the most disrespectful way to show up an opponent. Hour two kicked off with Bill chatting with 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland host Nick Wilson about his expectations for the Browns quarterback room this season and why Tomm Rees could be a head coach sooner rather than later. Buy or Sell was next as Bill answered if the Astros should suspend Framber Valdez for potentially throwing at his catcher and if an American male tennis player will win a grand slam title by the year 2030. The show ends with Bill and Ryan playing a word association game.
