## Resource

This week, we’re shining the spotlight where it actually belongs — on the underappreciated greats of the game. Dan and James are joined by special guest Tom as they dive deep into the stars who quietly deliver week in, week out, and ask why they’re constantly overshadowed by supposedly “bigger” names and louder narratives. From social media hype to recency bias, we break down how some players dominate headlines, sponsorships, and award conversations, while consistent performers are left in the shadows. Is it branding over brilliance? The boys dissect the myths, challenge popular opinion, and rebuild the narrative around the game’s most overlooked talents. Learn more about your ad choices.
