Tom Brady wasn't on 'The Masked Singer', Kayvon Thibodeaux cut block controversy & why the AFC North is wide open

Charles Robinson is joined by Frank Schwab for a look around the league, starting off with Tom Brady's return from an 11-day excused absence and the ridiculous rumors that he may have been appearing on The Masked Singer. The guys debate the true meaning of Brady's time away and how this is all likely the opening beats to Tom Brady's final year.

Later in the show, Charles & Frank talk about Kayvon Thibodeaux's injury during a preseason game & how it re-ignited a league-wide debate about cut blocks. They also have some final words on Deshaun Watson's 11-game suspension and why the league settled with him. Closing out the podcast, they discuss the suddenly wide-open AFC North, why the Baltimore Ravens can bounce back and why a Kenny Pickett-led run to the playoffs for the Pittsburgh Steelers isn't completely out of the question.
