El Hombre aka Michael Bradley joins the show to give us some insight in a way that only he can. He comments on the Jason Kelce situation & other fan provocations of athletes and where is too far? How does he feel about a Philly offensive line after the retirement of Jason Kelce? How does he feel about the heat Joel Embid is getting after shoving a reporter? Should the Seahawks have tried to trade Tyler Lockett at the deadline? Would it have been worth it to parting ways with a receiver who is suffering from the lack of production from the offensive line? We go through all the news and information from this show and maybe some weird comments in What We Learned!

The Seahawks did not make any more moves before the NFL trade deadline. Should the Seahawks have gone after some offensive linemen in order to help Geno in the pocket? Does the front office believe they have enough on this roster to make a playoff push?
