Let’s get right to it.

Le’Veon Bell signing with the Chiefs is the news of the last two weeks. This podcast will tell you everything you need to know: a point that’s being missed about what the Chiefs see in Bell, and a point that Bell is hitting about what he sees in the Chiefs. His word choice the other day was really interesting.

Also, we examine questions about Andy Reid’s future, Mizzou and Nebraska football, and covering sports in 2020.
