Kirk & Amin remember the life and legacy of Bill Russell. Bill was a lot more than a basketball player. We listen to a piece where he shares stories from the Civil Rights Movement years. The NBA Finals MVP Award is named after Russell. The guys discuss if more can be done to honor him, like retiring his number universally in the NBA. Discussion on the Miami Dolphins being disciplined by the NFL for a variety of infractions. The guys discuss the Brian Flores lawsuit and how that is impacted by the findings of the league's investigators.

Jason Reid, ESPN, Andscape NFL Senior Writer; Author, 'Rise of The Black Quarterback: What it Means for America'

Quarterback is the ultimate leadership position that is uniquely American. In corporate America, if you are the team leader, you are labeled the quarterback. When you think of the quarterback, you think of intelligence, leadership, toughness & the person who inspires. If black men are excluded from playing QB it says a lot about how far black men can go in this country. It used to be that black college QBs would have their position changed. It was the norm. It has changed to the point that the NFL realizes that black quarterback can help teams win and make money. The Cardinals 'stepped into it' so to speak by having a clause in Kyler Murray's contract about his study habits. It was a mistake by the Cardinals and it will follow Murray for the rest of his career. In the late 80's the NFL could not overlook players that can help them win. The pressure on teams and coaches to win became great. There is a lot swirling around Lamar Jackson and his contract negotiations. He represents so much about where we have come, where we are now, and what the future is for the black quarterback. Jason takes a moment to remember the career of Vin Scully who passed away this week. Jason would like for people to read the book with an open mind and read about the stories of what black QBs have had to go through. Hopefully, they'll gain an understanding that they didn't have coming in and look at things a little differently when they leave.
