Ryan and I feel like we’re on an island in our disagreement with how sports media has depicted former Dallas Cowboys defensive star Micah Parsons. But now Parsons is suddenly on Ryan’s beloved Packers. We will discuss that, plus ESPN’s demotion of Doris Burke, and Ryen Russillo’s departure from the Ringer to Barstool. Ask a question or just watch live.
Oh, and check out the HoS BCC chat if you want to continue the conversation after the show.
I'm only a few minutes in, but you guys are way off on your Parsons assessment. I don't follow all the day to day type online so maybe there is some exaggeration happening.
But he is an elite game wrecker on the edge and only 26 years old. That is a massively valuable player and Dallas got an atrocious return for him. TJ Watt , 31 in a month, will absolutely not be better over the life of this deal than Parsons. This kind of feels like Ethan sort of watched 2 games at parties and built out his take from there.
I love the comtrarian stuff, but sometimes the consensus is right.
As a big Lebatard Show fan, a couple things I’ve noticed about Stu:
Stu loves radio, and he would prefer a schedule closer to radio, rather than podcasting. I think he’d like to be a program director again.
Stu also loves sports! He wants to talk about sports and interview athletes. The show is less about that now, and Stu was noticeably absent, even when he was sitting right there next to Dan.
As a fan, I find this development more interesting: all of the women have left the main podcast. They’ll do hits, they have side projects, but women are no longer in studio. How about that?
