Lefkoe (@adamlefkoe) is joined by 2x Super Bowl champion LeSean McCoy (@cutondime25), who talks about just the incredible run he's been on, joining two consecutive teams as the cagey veteran to produce on the field and mentor his younger teammates, and then riding a hot QB all the way to back-to-back Lombardi trophies! He talks about his journey through the NFL, how his role and career have changed in recent years, and why the Bucs and Chiefs are a cut above the rest of the league right...

Fresh off his newly-signed $56 million contract with the New England Patriots, all-world pass rush Matt Judon (@man_dammn) chats with Lefkoe (@adamlefkoe) about how he's spent this highly irregular offseason, what it's like to go against teams that said they would draft you only to renege, and what went into his decision to join Bill Belichick's suddenly free agent-happy squad up in Massachusetts.

Sports Illustrated's newest superstar NBA writer Howard Beck (@howardbeck) rejoins his old Bleacher Report pal Lefkoe (@adamlefkoe) for discussion of every truly insane thing that made the 2020-21 NBA season so special and unique.

33%, nowhere else in the podcasting world will you get two back-to-back interviews more different than these two, but we found both to be equally illuminating and fascinating!  First, we've got young wide receiver stud JuJu Smith-Schuster of the Pittsburgh Steelers, talking about everything from Charmin toilet paper to why he took (significantly) less money to return to the Steelers after a divisional rival offered him quite the hefty sum.  And then, we've got former college basketball...

Chris Simms (@csimmsQB) is known for two things: being the former co-host of this very podcast with Lefkoe (@adamlefkoe) and having the spiciest QB prospect Draft takes.

Simms unabashedly has Zach Wilson as a better prospect than Trevor Lawrence, and what led to Mac Jones' meteoric rise up everyone's mock draft over the last few months.

Hey 33%! You're in for a treat today. This one's a little bit different. Lefkoe sits down with organizational psychologist and author (most recently of the book "Think Again") Adam Grant, who applies his interesting research on biased thinking to the sports world. Fans, athletes, and front office members alike can fall prey to certain ingrained modes of thinking, and no matter what your fan allegiance, you'll likely take away some interesting insights about your own professional life from...
