Episode 21 of In My Defense is titled “Overqualified” because sometimes being the greatest still isn’t enough.
Canty and Que open with the shocking news that Bill Belichick was not inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on the first ballot, despite six Super Bowl titles, decades of dominance, and reshaping modern football. Canty explains why this feels less like accountability and more like Hall of Fame politics, and why history can’t be told without Belichick’s name.
Then the conversation shifts to the NBA, where Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors are heating up as Milwaukee spirals. The guys break down why the Bucks have no leverage, which teams make sense, and whether Minnesota, New York, or another contender should push all their chips in.
Other topics include:
• Shedeur Sanders making the Pro Bowl — business move or real validation?
• Patriots vs Seahawks — Super Bowl storyline déjà vu
• Coach of the Year & MVP predictions
• What “overqualified” really means in sports and legacy conversations
Nothing’s personal… but In My Defense.
