Episode notes
Is Joe Burrow overrated—or are the Bengals failing their franchise quarterback?
This week on Off the Bench London, Malcolm “The Milkman” Noel and Scott “The Visionary” Hohn get into one of their most heated debates of Season 2 as they break down Joe Burrow, the Cincinnati Bengals, Jalen Hurts, the Eagles, and the pressure we put on quarterbacks to win.
But this episode is about more than football.
We’re coming off an incredible weekend at Rising Stars: Next Generation at 100 Kellogg Lane in London, Ontario, where we got an up-close look at the next generation of fighters across boxing, kickboxing and MMA. From wild knockouts and championship fights to athletes stepping into the ring and putting months of work on the line, the night sparked a bigger conversation:
Why have we become so impatient with success?
In sports—and in life—we’re quick to celebrate winners and tear down everyone else. But sometimes losing is part of becoming great.
