ITP #004: NFL Scandals

Episode 4. Serious turns to sinister in the latest instalment of the Inside The Pocket series as the boys turn their attention to NFL scandals.

In this pod we look at three moments of the modern era that rocked the sport to it's core - Spygate, Bountygate & Deflategate, and debate whether or not the punishments fit the crimes. Just how much cheating is too much cheating?

Enjoy!
