Ep. 99: Behind the Scenes of the NFL-NFLPA Battles, with De Smith, former NFLPA Executive Director,

Send us Fan MailOn this episode, I’m joined by De Smith, the former longtime executive director of the NFLPA. De discusses his new book Turf Wars, his battles with Roger Goodell, the "petulant" NFL owners and their "diabolical general counsel," his perspective on the current NFLPA saga and the quest for guaranteed contracts, whether there might be any under the table deals with NFL players designed to circumvent the salary cap, and why a union might not be the best option for college football players. Thank you for listening!
