A Couple Notes

In the podcast we seemed pretty certain about Baker Mayfield's status as one of the four Heisman finalists. A couple hours after recording, only three candidates were invited to New York, with Mayfield sitting at home. While we had good things to say about Mayfield on the episode, we definitely had better things to say about invitees Deshaun Watson, Derrick Henry, and Christian McCaffrey. 

We also quickly talked about a reported trade by the Los Angeles Dodgers to acquire Aroldis Chapman from the Cincinatti Reds. Again, just hours later we learned that the trade was put on hold, and there's an entirely different story about Chapman in the news that we unfortunately do not discuss on this episode.
