- Sando & Mueller go “off-topic” to discuss JJ Reddick as the new Lakers coach & the differences between taking over an NBA team vs an NFL team.
- Mueller, who grew up a Giants fan, speaks fondly of Willie Mays and “grades his tape”, suggesting his athleticism could’ve easily translated to the gridiron.
