The Season with Peter Schrager: Buccaneers GM Jason Licht

Peter opens with his thoughts on two very different vibes surrounding the 1-3 teams in New York City this week. Then, he goes through a “pinch me” type of Sunday that included being on the field and in attendance for both the Eagles-Commanders and the Jets-Chiefs games. 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. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bring back Aditi

Nodd13!

Last year I found the podcast really easy to listen to and it expanded my very limited knowledge. Aditi approached it as a journalist and made it informative. The current co-host talks as if the listener has an extensive NFL knowledge and I’m just lost, really hard to listen to. Tried two episodes this season and turned off part way through both times. One example would be recently relating a story and saying ‘I won’t say which team I played at that this happened, I’ll leave it to you to work it out’. I have no idea who this guy played for or the inter team dynamics, that’s why I listen to ‘NFL Explained’. Perhaps I’ll come back next season.
Great listen!
