On the Road to 20k!


The Chief and Lou Michels kick off the show by talking about big banks and how they avoid some of these laws that affect them. How do they ‘tip toe’ on the line?

They touch on taxes and stocks before talking about Christian McCaffrey’s decision to skip the Sun Bowl. Lou Michels sheds some light on some of these scholarship standards that some of these players agree too. We keep on the college football subject as Lou dissects the Minnesota football team protest – and why it should have never happened in the first place.

We talk markets – will the DOW hit 20K today? Will Chief have custom made hats to celebrate the occasion? (Spoiler alert : No.)
