04/30/25 Show 257 : A Disappointing Finish In The Least Beautiful Of Beauty Pageants

while preparing this week’s sbow,  like many of you, I could not help but reflect on Shedeur Sanders’ precipitous free-fall thru the NFL Draft, with the projected early-round pick sliding thru rounds 1-5, then doing a complete nose dive thru the UFL Draft before finally being selected in 3rd round of the 2025 Arena Football League draft. Despite Sanders’ humiliation, this is an impressive achievement just the same given the AFL has been defunct since 2019. But Sanders’ difficult weekend brought to mind so many of the challenges I face with this show every week. Impossibly high expectations. A cruel, callous media (to say nothing of the public) that cannot wait to micro-analyze even the tiniest of errors. And then of course, there’s the irrational jealousy on the part of my alleged friends & colleagues in the online radio game. 

Much like Mr. Sanders, I’m a manufactured-motivation FACTORY over here. He’ll persevere and if the same is true of myself, I’ll be certain to TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT.
