Straight from the Source
ESPN Senior NFL Insider Adam Schefter calls the show while driving to the airport — a perfect glimpse into a day in the life of America's foremost football news-breaker. He takes Darren and Donny back to the beginning, explaining how he stumbled into his renowned journalism career by accident after a series of rejections. Darren is curious about how Schefter deals with pressure, and Donny gives Adam the space to honor Joe Maio, his wife's former husband who tragically died on 9/11 and is the subject of his The Man I Never Met memoir. Before jetting off (literally), Adam defines what "comeback" means to him.

Detaching from the Outcome
New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau reunites with Darren after they both left the Las Vegas Raiders in the offseason. Foster admits why he hasn't come on the podcast before now and how his perspective has shifted. When Foster began exploring free agency, he was focused on the frustrating tight end market, but that all changed when his visit to the Saints uncovered a rare form of Hodgkin's lymphoma. Foster walks Darren and Donny through every painful and revelatory detail, and Darren recalls the moment Foster told him about his diagnosis. Donny and Foster also give Darren his flowers for being such a steadying presence in their lives. Now in remission, Foster looks ahead and unpacks his complicated emotions around suiting up for his hometown team.
