Episode VIII: Why do we watch football?

Ty and RD ask why we still watch football with all the bad press surrounding the sport. They look at recent games and players that caused large emotional swings in their behavior. Ty talks about his high school teammate who holds the record for longest kick return in NFL history. In the second half of the conversation Ty gives his thoughts and predictions for the college season (preview here), and the NFL (preview here, here, and here). The only thing Ty really wants is 7+ wins from Michigan.
