    #92: Loyalty vs. Logic: The Bandwagon Debate, Antitrust Fallout, and Steelers Draft Strategy.

    This week on The Armchair Authority, Ryan and Kelly tackle the nuances of modern fandom—where does rooting for a second team end and being a bandwagon fan begin? We also provide a look at the Department of Justice investigation into the NFL’s media deals and why the Sports Broadcasting Act is under fire. To wrap it up, we analyze the Pittsburgh Steelers' high-stakes draft plan. With 12 picks in their pocket and the draft in their backyard, we debate if they target a QB like Ty Simpson or stick to the "best player available" mantra at No. 21. We have Merch!
