Show notes

On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, former QB Christian Ponder joins Peanut and Roman. Christian shares his football journey playing at Florida St. under legendary coach Bobby Bowden to becoming a first-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2011. He also talks about what it was like having a front-row seat to history in 2012 when Adrian Peterson ran for 2,097 yards. And Christian says when you shake Adrian’s hand you do so at your own risk. Christian also discusses how he got his undergraduate degree from Florida St. in two-and-a-half years and went on to get his MBA. Despite his academic credentials, Christian opens up about his struggles to transition from football after his six-year NFL career. However, he has found success in his new company called “The Post,” and he shares how he’s working to build a networking community of athletes turned business leaders. And how does Christian have a connection to Jackie Robinson, you ask? Take a listen and find out!

Justin Fields Traded, Aaron Donald Retires and Broadcast Talk with Andrew Marchand Mar 18, 2024

Show notes

The latest ep is a Hanzus-Rosenthal joint. This is like two wine masters, sommeliers, talking about wine, not necessarily you or me arguing if I like Burgundy or Bordeaux better.

The Season with Peter Schrager: Rams GM Les Snead on Aaron Donald's Legacy Mar 18, 2024

Show notes

We’re back! And there’s plenty of news to cover and dissect. Peter breaks down the Justin Fields trade, why Pittsburgh GM Omar Khan pulled off quite a savvy maneuver, and what it means for Chicago. Peter also discusses why saying goodbye to Saquon Barkley, as rough as it may seem, ended with an elite 25-year-old pass rusher— and why that’s a more than acceptable tradeoff if you’re NYG. Then, Rams GM Les Snead joins on extremely short notice to go 45 minutes on the career of Aaron Donald. Snead drafted Donald and is the only GM he ever played for. Snead’s stories are rich and words like “rare”, “once in a lifetime”, and “alien” are used. A beautiful tribute to one of the greatest to ever do it.
