from 3 and Out with John Middlekauff · host iHeartPodcasts and The Volume

On this episode of 3 & Out, John Middlekauff reacts to Russell Wilson officially calling it a career and reportedly heading to CBS Sports. What kind of broadcaster could Russ become, and how should his NFL legacy be remembered? John also discusses the viral moment from Ben Johnson’s press conference, where the Bears head coach was visibly irritated after a reporter’s phone went off during the session. Was the reaction justified, or was it much ado about nothing? Plus, the Steelers continue to invest in their young core, handing out major extensions to Nick Herbig and Darnell Washington. John breaks down what the moves say about Pittsburgh’s long-term vision and why both players are important pieces of the franchise's future. The conversation then shifts to Minnesota, where Kevin O’Connell addressed the quarterback situation and shared his thoughts on Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy. John analyzes the comments and what they could mean for the Vikings heading into the season. John also reacts to former NFL safety Eric Weddle’s negative comments regarding Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood, discussing expectations, evaluations, and the challenges young quarterbacks face before ever taking a snap at the next level. To wrap things up, Fugazi Friday returns as John separates what's real from what's not around the NFL and sports world. From quarterback news and coaching storylines to front-office decisions and college football debates, it’s all covered on this episode of 3 & Out.
