The PODcast has Super Bowl—and Alex Smith—fever

The PODcast crew was all ready for our 2018 Super Bowl LII extravaganza. Then the Alex Smith trade news dropped as we were about to hit the record button and all hell broke loose.

Catch our live reactions as the trade news slowly comes in and we learn more and more about Washington’s curious move to let Kirk Cousins hit the market and entrust their next five years to a 33-year-old quarterback instead.

After the initial shock is done, we get back to what we’re here for: Super Bowl and Detroit Lions talk. We take one the best prop bets for Patriots vs. Eagles, then shift conversation to the Lions’ new slate of coaches.
