In this episode of the David L. Gray Podcast, David confronts two explosive stories that expose deep fractures in both Catholic media and professional football. First, he unpacks the troubling legacy of Timothy Gordon, whose rhetoric reflects a broader silence around racism within American Catholicism. From cultural branding controversies to the complicity of Catholic influencers, David challenges the cult-like loyalty that shields bad actors from accountability. Then, the show pivots to the 2025 NFL Draft, where Shedeur Sanders’ dramatic fall raises questions of political interference. With Eric Dickerson’s claim that someone pressured the Browns to draft Sanders—and Donald Trump’s suspiciously timed social media post—David explores whether this was more than coincidence. Finally, he delivers a sharp critique of Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, arguing that his crisis management style masks a deeper problem: an ego that sabotages quarterbacks and stalls team success. This episode blends cultural critique, sports analysis, and theological insight with David’s signature clarity and conviction.
