## Resource

Dan is being called a 'ghoul.' So is Jeff Pearlman. It's all happening because the duo simply suggested that when Michael Strahan sat across from NFL legend Chris Johnson as he revealed his ALS diagnosis, someone should have asked about the four times higher ALS risk NFL players carry for the rest of their lives. For that matter, it's a risk CJ2K had already posted about himself. Pearlman joins Dan to defend his take that set Twitter ablaze, and the two dig into why "not the right time" always seems to be the excuse for backing away from tough questions.
