136. I think FDR had flaws

May 2019

JFK was too soon to see what he may have accomplished but his first 100 days were great. I don't want to go there with Bill Clinton. Yes, the economy was great but with PNTR in his last year in office was the big killer as far as manufacturing jobs going overseas.

Did Bill Cosby win it before or after his rapes were known? Why not put Darren Sharper into the HOF? (Rhetorical but Peter King was willing to die on that hill)
