Episode notes
Collective Amnesia Over Patriots Scandals
- Colin calls the public reaction to Belichick's Hall of Fame snub 'collective amnesia' about Patriots' past scandals.
- He argues multiple infractions (Spygate, Spygate 2, Deflategate) justify hesitation despite Hall rules lacking a morality clause.
Accept Safe Hires Over Constant Gambles
- Colin defends safe hires like Mike McCarthy as reasonable 'B' options rather than always chasing flashes.
- He reminds listeners not to expect every hire or film to be a masterpiece and that stability often matters.
Pittsburgh's Aversion To Deliberate Losing
- Danny and Colin argue Pittsburgh resists tanking due to civic pride and identity around competitiveness.
- They suggest the Steelers prefer middling stability over bottoming out for draft upside.
