Can you have a Football Career without the NFL?

This week my guest is Cortez Branch Jr, and we discussed the challenges and politics involved in professional sports, particularly in the NFL, where he shared his experience of being cut multiple times despite his talent and achievements. They explored how athletes like The, who pursued alternative leagues and international competitions, can still achieve success and recognition. The conversation highlighted the importance of having the right agent and publicist, as well as the difficulties athletes face when their careers don't follow the traditional path. They also discussed the changing landscape of sports, with athletes from different countries gaining more prominence and challenging U.S. dominance in various sports.
