Check the Mic with Steve Palazzolo & Sam Monson

On this episode of Check The Mic, Steve and Sam are joined by two of the brightest minds in football: analytics pioneer Aaron Schatz and Los Angeles Rams General Manager Les Snead.

Please excuse some camera issues during Les Snead's segment of the interview. While the video wasn't perfect, the insights Les shared were too valuable to leave on the cutting room floor, and we knew you'd want to hear his perspective on the Rams' strategy and the evolving NFL landscape.
