Ep. 73: Alternative Football Leagues, Spy-Squirrels, and 'Shrink-flation'

The NFL has dominated professional football for over a century, but have competitor leagues found success over the years? On the latest episode of 4-Thirty, Ben and Pat audible their way through a ridiculous conversation surrounding the handful of upstart, independent, professional football leagues that have sprung up in America over the last few decades, while also breaking down some 'odd news' and sharing a personal story or two along the way. What would it take to actually sustain a viable football league competing against the NFL's monopoly? What would a true 'Minor League Football' system even look like?  Is the 'USFL' from the 1980s set to return in 2022? Are jungle cats becoming a work hazard for autoworkers in India? For answers to all of these questions and a touchdown or two more, be sure to give this week's episode a listen!
