Professional Professor

I’ve been listening to John one way or another since the mid-90s. His Saturday radio shows helped me win fantasy football leagues long before there were online leagues. He’s the best in the biz. Hands down.
I still tune in to my local radio station at 7:15 every week day morning to hear his daily wisdom.

A football podcast that actually talks about football

So refreshing to listen to John Clayton who consistently provides informed and thoughtful discussion about the NFL. Clearly John also has the respect of the football community and regularly has great guests who are invited on this show to provide accurate information and not to talk about controversial nonsense.
