Everyone and Their Cousins (guest: Michael Salfino)

Host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) welcomes in Michael Salfino (@Michael Salfino) of The Athletic, FiveThirtyEight.com, and The Breakfast Table Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about fantasy football, the NFL in general. and music. Through 10 weeks, who are the Super Bowl favorites in a topsy-turvy NFL season? Mike and Pat assess some of the candidates. They also discuss Odell Beckham Jr.’s outlook with the Rams, DeSean Jackson’s outlook with the Raiders, Rhamondre Stevenson’s breakout, Lamar Jackson’s season, and what to make of the rookie quarterbacks. Mike and Pat also debate Michael Carter’s value and discuss Elijah Moore’s rookie season.  Mike has interviewed Bill Parcells on multiple occasions and talks about what the coach is like. There’s also some discussion about “CEO coaches” (like Parcells) vs. play-caller coaches. Which Led Zeppelin album is the best? What did Nirvana mean to an old-school rock fan like Mike? And if Mike had to cut the music of either Bob Dylan, Elton John or Bruce Springsteen out of his life, who would be sent packing? Mike and Pat offer some rock thoughts. There’s also some chatter about James Conner, Kirk Cousins, and the elite-TE strategy to close the show.  Host: Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF)  Guest: Michael Salfino (@Michael Salfino)       Podcast produced by Colm Kelly (@OvertimeIreland)  Music provided by International Jet Set  Learn more about your ad choices.
