Who's the NFL's version of Michael Jordan and who deserves a Last Dance style documentary? (Football 5/18) May 18, 2020

Show notes

The Last Dance has captured sports fans attention for over a month focus on the incredible and unparalleled career of Michael Jordan. Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson, John Breech and Sean Wagner-McGough attempt to find the NFL's equivalent to MJ and a long form documentary that could be of similar interest to MJ's feature. Is Tom Brady and the the New England Patriots dynasty the clear choice or do other stars stand out? Speaking of Brady, is he the most identifiable player in league history? The Jordan comparisons can be made but they might not be as close as you think. Also, it's a Mailbag Monday 📬 (43:00) ! Leave a 5-star review with a question attached on Apple Podcasts and the Superfriends will answer if for you!

Show notes

Chris Long and Will Brinson are now the same. They're podcasters that like to talk about stuff other than just football. And that's what they do on this episode.

Does Bill Belichick plan on turning the Patriots over to his son Steve (15:45)? The guys comment and speculate on the serious stuff before diving into a lengthy discussion on podcasting life (18:00), sports gambling (24:45), music (31:30) and cars (48:45).
