Georgia football podcast: One way in which Kirby Smart is like Lebron James

Beginning of the show: Georgia held it’s first preseason scrimmage Saturday at Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart met with reporters at its conclusion. One of the topics that came up for discussion was whether this season’s national champion will have an asterisk. I’ll explain on today’s show why Smart’s answer to that question is similar to a narrative that’s surrounded Los Angeles Lakers star Lebron James during the NBA season.

  • A behind-the-scenes look at what UGA scrimmages are like from a player who once played in them
