Jay Paterno Hangs Out | NFL Hall of Fame Semi-Finalists | Investigate Stefanski
A packed Thanksgiving-week show that went completely off the rails in the best way possible. We kick things off with festive backgrounds, beers in hand, and the usual chaos before diving into Ohio high school athletes officially being allowed to cash in on NIL money.
From there, it’s Brinner talk, Tulane highlights (way too many of them), and the insane story out of UAB where a player was charged with attempted murder after stabbing two teammates. We wander into a Zaxby’s tangent, break down Rice bribing students with free beer, and dig into LSU reportedly dangling $90 million and a massive NIL budget at Lane Kiffin.
We touch on the Michigan–Big Ten mess, then question why Kevin Stefanski punted from the Raiders’ 29-yard line like he was trying to protect the under. Ohio governor Mike DeWine regrets legalizing sports betting, Colorado looks rough, and the NFL Hall of Fame semifinalists are out.
Then Jay Paterno jumps into the Speakeasy and we get into everything: James Franklin getting canned, where Penn State actually ranks as a job, how NIL changed the sport, the transfer portal chaos, whether collective bargaining is coming, how we got here with paying players, and how much coaches’ salaries warped the whole system. Jay talks coaching vs writing, which teams he couldn’t stand, whether politics is actually worse, and runs through the Quick Hitters before wrapping up the interview.
We close with ScottSki45’s stat of the week on Griffey Jr. and Stan Musial, the upcoming Stuart Scott 30 for 30, Shohei committing to Japan for the WBC, beer recaps, and Sip/Chug/Drainpour with Thanksgiving traditions.
