Hour 3 - Stopping the Train
Summary
Ben Maller argues the SEC’s ban on NFL returnees is a "Lane Kiffin rule" that will spark legal battles rather than solve eligibility issues. He critiques Yankees manager Aaron Boone as a mediocre "security blanket" for GM Brian Cashman, citing his poor postseason record. Maller praises Brewers manager Pat Murphy for benching rookie Cooper Pratt for lack of hustle, calling it necessary tough love. The episode also features a riddle about Nick Saban and a "Too Much or Not Enough" game with caller Manuel.
