Great episode! I like the addition of the 2 min drill at the end
Go to song as of late? That's been mine for 30 years now! Great answer Coach!
Ben reminds me of Bradley Martin
If you don't like Coach T. you're simply a bad person, PERIOD!
Ben got to go on the pivot and the pivot got to come over ❤
Damar Hamlin and Ryan Shazier didn’t both just get injured on the same field. Both happened on MNF as well

Love the hat Spence!
I've been home brewing for 22 years, and worked in breweries and home brewing stores. Would love to give you tips to get better. Even making a stout that goes down like an ale 😉
