NBA Preview Part 1: Most Interesting Teams Draft with Sam Vecenie

Ryen opens with another quarterly report, this time on the AFC North. Then, he chats with CBS NFL analyst Ross Tucker about who he truly believes can win the AFC, whether the Ravens are among the contenders, behind-the-scenes conversations with Drake Maye and Josh Allen, and whether the Eagles’ season is fixable. Next, the star of HBO’s “A Killer Story” and longtime journalist Joe Sexton talks about the hit TV series, how he got involved, and whether he enjoyed covering this story more than sports. Finally, Kyle and Ceruti join for some listener-submitted Life Advice, including snitching on someone and dealing with a loud yoga neighbor.
