In Episode 32 of the Sports Shots Pod, we go OFF on ESPN's NFL Quarter Century Team! From the obvious snubs (no Drew Brees?!) to some straight-up bizarre picks (Justin Jefferson already?!), we break down the full roster position-by-position and give our takes on who really deserves a spot on the all-time list from 2000–2024.

We also dive into:

• The QB debate: Mahomes vs Brees vs Rodgers
• RB snubs: Where's Adrian Peterson, LT, and Frank Gore?!
• TE rankings: Gronk, Kelce, Gonzalez… but what about Antonio Gates?
• Best defenders of the last 25 years — and who got disrespected
• Wild hot takes on receivers, fullbacks, centers, and safeties

• And we wrap with NBA trade talk, KD rumors, and what we’d do with $10 BILLION from selling the Lakers 🤯

The NBA Finals are here… but did the Magic design their new logo on Microsoft Paint?! 😬 We go off on lazy rebrands, Zion’s off-court chaos, Aaron Judge’s Triple Crown chase, and the real battle: best vs. worst NBA uniforms. Also: pro softball is here and actually 🔥?!
