    Oct 3 2023

    Peter opens with his thoughts on two very different vibes surrounding the 1-3 teams in New York City this week.

This week’s guest is Tampa Bay Buccaneers GM Jason Licht. With Tampa Bay sitting atop the NFC South at 3-1 heading into their bye, Jason hits on the signing of Baker Mayfield, the homegrown talent all over Tampa’s roster, and the best Bill Belichick and Tom Brady stories he has. Peter finishes with a very special Broadway show review; one in which he ended up in the unlikeliest of places.
