Episode notes

On a day to day basis, what are you doing during the season? You're going to find this interesting and you you alluded to it. At the micro level, I'm probably each week coming in on a money go. That is a really, really good time for me to focus on that April thesis. It's like the nice thing about the NFL draft is there's a set date. There's a date. So the the hard part is being disciplined to prepare for that.

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.
