Defector Launches 'All Ball' Podcast to Reclaim Nuance in NFL Discourse
Defector has released the second episode of its new NFL podcast, 'All Ball,' hosted by Drew Magary and Arif Hasan. The episode, titled 'Jalen Hurts Is OVERRATED,' aims to move beyond typical clickbait by exploring the nuance of the term 'overrated' in sports analysis. The hosts argue that a player can be both highly rated and overrated, challenging the binary nature of such labels. The podcast explicitly rejects gambling and fantasy football discussions, focusing instead on pure football analysis. It also includes a segment mocking the Green Bay Packers' performance against Carson Wentz. The show has evolved based on listener feedback, adding timestamps and clearer context for team discussions. This marks a shift toward a more substantive, listener-driven format for the new media outlet.
