About this episode
Rich comments on the emotional reaction by Bears LB Roquan Smith upon learning his teammate Robert Quinn had been traded to the Philadelphia Eagles, and gives some advice to an Australian living in New York who’s facing the dilemma: should he adopt the Jets or Giants to root for the rest of his life.
Bestselling author Jeff Pearlman joins Rich in-studio to discuss his new book ‘The Last Folk Hero’ about multi-sport legend Bo Jackson, says where Jackson’s talent ranks in the pantheon of all-time great athletes, reveals how Bo nearly ended up on the Yankees and Buccaneers instead of the Royals and Raiders, says if Aaron Judge’s 62 homers make him the legit single-season HR king, and reacts to the way his ‘Showtime’ book was dramatized for HBO’s ‘Winning Time’ that resulted in some ruffled feathers for Lakers legend Jerry West and others.
