What Hall of Fame Weekend Was Actually Like
Jared Allen joins Greg for 48 minutes on the road from youth football to Canton, what putting on the gold jacket felt like, and what he has figured out as a parent since. Plus specialization, late bloomers, and how to tell a good coach from a loud one.
ONE THING FROM THE EPISODE
THE CASE FOR LETTING YOUR KID BE LATE
Allen's argument against picking one sport at eleven is not sentimental, it is practical. Bodies arrive on their own schedule, and the kid who is undersized in seventh grade is often the one still playing in twelfth. Play more sports, stay in longer, and find a coach who is developing players rather than protecting a record. Greg pushes on all of it.
