Episode notes

I want to talk about Aaron Donald for a minute. I think most people would say if you had to pick a player to start a team, he might be the first one chosen. He's not just a very good player. He may be a great player. And that's why we drafted him. But I think you mom that God blessed him with a lot of physical gifts. Also bless him with this, these intangibles that not every player has.

After nearly 12 years as general manager for the L.A. Rams, Les Snead has learned the power of humility when it comes to making big decisions--who to draft, who to hire as head coach, and how to create a shared vision for his team. Listen as he and EconTalk's Russ Roberts discuss what it's like to manage a professional football team along with the intense pressures that come with the territory. An episode for every fan who has played Monday-morning quarterback, and all of us who wonder how those who play for high stakes survive and thrive.
