Art Stapleton on the pursuit of Matthew Stafford…
Could the Rams’ contractual games piss off Stafford to the point of wanting out?
Stapleton believes Shedeur Sanders will be the best fit for the Giants if they go the draft route.
Personalities between Daboll & Sanders may match, too.
Off of Super Bowl LIX, I sat down with Trey Burton of “Philly Special” fame as well. He was a delight.
Here are a few highlights from that episode.

And, hey, wouldn’t you know. Richie Incognito is back in the news. Two years ago, the rip-snortin’ guard joined a Go Long Happy Hour. It was wild. Here are a few clips uploaded to the channel, icymi.
