    Get on the bus with NFL players Will Compton & Taylor Lewan! The Boys are letting you in on their hilarious, high-energy (and often heartfelt) conversations. Topics range from exclusive stories to active player perspectives to out-of-left-field hot takes on things you and your friends only discuss behind closed doors. Sometimes they chat with a guest, sometimes it's just the two of them, but it's always a good time when you're Bussin' With The Boys.
    And yes, this is the podcast where Mike Vrabel said he'd cut his piece off for a Super Bowl.

      1. Patrick Surtain was a killa
      2. Jason Taylor missed 2 games over a decade span during a time when an ACL injury could end your career. Total beast just like ZT. Taylor had 117 sacks for the Fins and CONSTANTLY forced fumbles. Not saying he’s better than ZT, but I remember those two guys being equally great in their positions. Both were warriors.

    Zach Thomas has been slighted his entire career, but he built more than enough of a resume as a pro to have been inducted by now. Its ridiculous that hes not in yet, but not surprising at the same time. Peyton Manning used to say Zach was the toughest linebacker he ever faced, and then now he says that about Ray since they both work for the same company.
