As someone who listens to the DLSwS regularly (which is pretty much the show prep for Highly Questionable), this is coming out of nowhere. I enjoy the show because the format is “kind of sports, but not specifically.”
LeBatard has made his entire career on race and scandal. His bread has always been buttered on the side. So when Lamar Jackson is the presumptive MVP, he is in hog heaven berating the Bill Polians of the world and injecting subtle accusations of racism.
He’s also not a fan of the NFL. You can tell his show prep is the NFL scroll on the ESPN website.
And again, Josh Allen doesn’t fit his racial/scandal narrative. This take almost feels like a tantrum for having to discuss Buffalo in a serious way.
