Hour 4 - An Unpatriotic Move?
Aug 26, 2026 · 40m
Summary
Ben Maller discusses Patriots defensive back Christian Gonzalez calling contract negotiations frustrating, questioning if the team is strategically leaking high offer details to make him look unreasonable. The show also critiques Tom Brady’s recent Gucci campaign featuring leather pants at age 49, debating whether it constitutes a cool reinvention or a midlife crisis. Additionally, Maller analyzes the Washington Commanders selling retired Redskins merchandise, arguing it undermines their rebranding and serves as a trial balloon for returning to the old name.
