Maurice Clarett is easily one of the most interesting people we have ever interviewed.
It's not just that he was an Ohio State football star, or his run-ins with the law, or his upbringing in one of the roughest areas of Ohio. It's also because he's an intense, intelligent guy who has reflected on a life of successes and failures and come to some pretty profound conclusions about how to live.
I've had dinner with the dude once, and have talked to him on the Dubcast a few times since then, and every time I think I have him pegged for your average Youngstown guy who's led a crazy life, Maurice Clarett drops some absolutely profound shit on us that makes me go and rethink my existence. So of course Michael and I asked him about J.T. Barrett, and of course he blew us away with his thoughts on the situation. It's an interview you need to check out.
And Matt Finkes is back for Finkes on Football! Plus we answer your questions in Ask Us Anything (which you guys definitely did this week, holy crap keep it up!), which you can do every week via Twitter or by email.
Here's how the show breaks down:
0:10- Welp, Barrett screwed up. Let's talk about it (and the new playoff rankings).
12:10- Ask Us Anything! How to make your mate love football, a cat that exists in two realities at the same time, and the intense panoramic pleasures of The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly.
28:19- Finkes on Football: Matt gets into the Barrett suspension, and talks about how the team will handle it going forward.
41:37- Mo C on life, football, and many other things under the sun.
56:22- Yo if you aren't watching Fargo right now you are a sad, sad person who is missing out on probably the best show on television. Midwest best west.
And that is it for this week! We'll be back next week to talk about how Cardale Jones threw for 10 passing touchdowns and firmly established himself as the 2015 Heisman Trophy frontrunner.
