Why most NFL Midseason trades don't matter

Dan Bernstein is here to challenge one of the NFL's favorite myths: the idea that a midseason trade is the answer to a team's problems.

31:45 Dan's revelation about John Smoltz

53:30 Chris Rongey story - Boner's dead

58:00 The food and culture of NOLA

While a handful of deadline deals have paid off, most don't move the needle, and there are no magic fixes lurking on the trade market with more than half the season still to play. Dan explains why fans routinely overvalue deadline acquisitions and reacts to the Kansas City Chiefs adding another controversial personality to an already colorful locker room.

Later, Dan shares a revelation about hate-watching John Smoltz, reflects on the encouraging response to the White Sox moving on from John Schriffen, and wonders why Johnny DeLuca sounds more like a Mets outfielder than a player from anywhere else. Plus, Boner's dad passed away, so the guys make sure Chris Rongey gets the news.

To close out the podcast, Matt recaps his trip to New Orleans, including the highlights, the hidden gems, and, of course, the best bites from his time in NOLA.
