Failed Physicals & Fly Fishing: Maxx Crosby, World Baseball Classic & Jim Fannin Joins The Show

from The Down & Dirty with Scott Mitchell

Scott Mitchell is joined by legendary performance coach Jim Fannin (The Zone Coach) for a deep dive into the mental architecture of champions. We pull back the curtain on the Max Crosby failed physical drama, debating whether it was a genuine injury concern or a high-stakes salary cap move by the Baltimore Ravens. Scott and Jim analyze the fallout for Trey Hendrickson, now the "highly motivated second choice" in Baltimore. The conversation turns personal as Scott asks Jim the ultimate hypothetical: What would you do with $100 million after taxes? Jim’s answer might surprise you—it involves 6,000 cell minutes, 30 days of total silence, and a complete digital detox. Also in this episode: NFL QB Reinventions: A look at how veterans like Sam Darnold and Geno Smith have successfully hit the reset button on their careers. Michael Jordan’s Discipline: Jim shares a story about Jordan’s pre-game ritual and why he would always trust "His Airness" with the last shot. Scott’s Fly Fishing Addiction: Scott confesses to being a "fishing equipment addict" and shares a hilarious story about a man hiding new fly rods from his wife. The "Sucker" in the NFL: Why Scott believes there is always a team (like the Browns) "dumb enough" to pay massive guaranteed contracts regardless of the risks. "Would You Rather": Scott answers a legendary hypothetical—would you rather face Muhammad Ali or Sugar Ray Leonard in the ring? #scottmitchell #TheDownAndDirty #maxxcrosby #nflfreeagency #treyhendrickson #michaeljordan #bamadebayo #sportspsychology #flyfishing #nba #nfltrades #samdarnold #muhammadaliSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
