America can be a crazy place at the best of times, but the last two weeks or so have been just about as sad and seismic a period in that country’s recent history. We talk to Brian Murphy about what he’s learned, and we talk about what lessons the NFL have belatedly learned, the new power of the league’s star players, and why Drew Brees couldn’t stop apologising.

 

And mad as it all seems, it still keeps coming back to Colin Kaepernick, and his 2016 protest which reverberates around the league to devastating effect today, just as it did 4 years ago.

 

We also talk about Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan and the easiest money Spike Lee ever collected, and ‘Egomaniacs’ takes a turn for the bizarre.
