The guys break down why the Bucks have no leverage, which teams make sense, and whether Minnesota, New York, or another contender should push all their chips in.Other topics include:• Shedeur Sanders making the Pro Bowl — business move or real validation?• Patriots vs Seahawks — Super Bowl storyline déjà vu• Coach of the Year & MVP predictions• What “overqualified” really means in sports and legacy conversationsNothing’s personal… but In My Defense.🎙️ New episodes drop every Friday🔗 www.linktr.ee/InMyDefensePod🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and Amazon Music.Follow the hosts:Chris Canty → @ChrisCanty99Quentin “Que” McDuffie → @Queie_Beamen1From sports and culture to business and everyday life, Chris and Que bring bold opinions, thoughtful analysis, and honest conversation, always with humor, heart, and real talk.In My Defense Podcast – Episode 21: “Overqualified” | Chapter Timestamps0:00 Show start1:09 Fatherhood check-in: “beautiful chaos.”1:30 Blowouts & curbside diapers 2:00 Diaper count competitionGiannis Antetokounmpo Trade Rumors2:55 Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors 3:24 Canty: Giannis is out of here4:29 Do the Bucks have any leverage left?6:25 Best trade fits: Knicks, Timberwolves, Heat, SixersHall of Fame Debate: Bill Belichick10:38 Bill Belichick Hall of Fame first-ballot controversy11:18 Canty: Deflategate kept Belichick off the first ballot12:40 “The Hall is a museum, not a popularity contest.”13:11 Don’t erase the trophies or the legacy15:01 Stats & facts: Belichick vs first-ballot head coaches16:11 Will Tom Brady get the same Hall of Fame energy?Shedeur Sanders & the Pro Bowl19:11 Shedeur Sanders Pro Bowl — real honor or ratings?19:23 Canty: No debate — Shedeur is a Pro Bowl player21:34 What Cleveland must build around Shedeur (Todd Monken)Super Bowl Matchup23:54 Super Bowl matchup set: Patriots vs SeahawksNFL Awards Picks25:40 MVP debate: Drake May enters the chat26:09 Coach of the Year: Canty picks Ben Johnson26:52 Que’s picks: Drake May (MVP), Mike Vrabel (COY)Wins & Losses of the Week28:52 Wins & Losses of the Week28:57 LOSS: Bill Belichick disrespect29:33 WIN: Giannis sweepstakes chaos30:18 Que’s WIN: Sam Darnold redemption arc31:00 Canty pivots: Mike Macdonald = “Sean McVay of defense”32:50 Outro🎙️ New episodes drop every Friday 🔗 www.linktr.ee/InMyDefensePod 📺 Subscribe: youtube.com/@InMyDefensePodFollow the hosts:Chris Canty → @ChrisCanty99Quentin “Que” McDuffie → @Queie_Beamen1 Hosted on Acast.
