Podcasts about Willard

Mark Willard and former NFL offensive tackle Ephraim Salaam open the show reacting to the latest in the Bengals/Trey Hendrickson saga... With the team reportedly shopping him the past few weeks, where do we want to see him end up? Would the Bengals be better off just paying him what he wants? They also react to all the biggest storylines coming out of week 2 of the preseason... How did they take Dillon Gabriel's comments about being a "competitor, not entertainer"? Which young QBs look the most promising? Could Davante Adams be subjected to Jimmy G. as his quarterback again? Plus, the guys try and identify which QB has the most pressure on them to succeed as we head into the season. Later, Willard and Ephraim move over to some college football, reacting to the historic fine levied on Michigan for its sign-stealing scandal from a few years ago... Was the punishment too light, too harsh, or just right? They react to the news that the NCAA is considering expanding the College Football Playoff to as many as 28 teams within the next few years, discussing whether they'd support that kind of a decision. Plus, thoughts on some interesting comments from Michael Porter Jr.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
