Troy Aikman

On this episode, John dives into the news that Fernando Mendoza will forego attending the NFL Draft and discusses whether this should be a big deal, given he is projected to be the number one overall pick.

Later, John discusses the Miami Dolphins hiring Troy Aikman and whether this is something people should object to or if it simply reflects the NFL's trend of hiring media members to join organizations.
