Dan and Tom have college friend Nick Intino on to discuss the upcoming 2021 NFL season, expectations for the Patriots and Giants, Rookie of the Year Predictions,  Super Bowl predictions. Nick provides his origin story of fandom and outlook for his beloved Cleveland Browns.

Kettman retraces the emotional whirlwind that began in February, when he learned of his close friend’s sudden passing, and continued as he spearheaded and edited the book that would hit the shelves in July. We hear about Pedro’s cynical conscription of the “Berkeley Guy” into the baseball beat writers’ fraternity, their perspective-altering trip to Cuba that compelled Gomez to pen an open letter to President Clinton and the bold story he wrote about Curt Schilling that rocked the baseball world on the morning of Game 7 of the 2001 World Series. We also hear hilarious and touching stories about Gomez as a sports dad and an infamous college tale involving Steve and fellow Daily Cal alum Mike Fleiss.
