During this episode of the T&D World Line Life Podcast, we kick off the New Year by featuring a new series showcasing Padgett and others inducted into the Lineman Hall of Fame.

He has also been competing at the International Lineman's Rodeo for years and was instrumental in starting the Florida Lineman's Rodeo. To learn more about his career in the line trade and how he is giving back by serving on the museum's board of directors, listen to the audio story "Life After the Line," narrated from the 2025 T&D World Lineworker Supplement.

What a week! So many takes being took right now. Think about it: If not for the Browns, the 2 worst teams in football would reside in New York. And if not for a Jackson Dart concussion, Brian Daboll would still be the head coach of the Giants. Sean McDermott is wasting Josh Allen's prime. Epidurals should be considered PEDs. (Matt Stafford couldn't move in preseason. Now he's having the best year of his career.) If the Patriots win the AFC East, Drake Maye has to be the MVP. Meanwhile, let's keep the Sam Darnold MVP take and add onto it the Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl Favorite takes! We vet all these thoughts with Jonathan Zaslow. Then former NFL lineman Geoff Schwartz tells us why it's so hard to bet on NFL games.
