The Jonah Keri Podcast, Episode 57 (Grantland Network)
Today’s podcast marks a transition for The Jonah Keri Podcast. Instead of being an entirely independent podcast, it will now be part of the Grantland Network. It will continue to be simulcast on JonahKeri.com and on my original iTunes feed, but to get all of the Grantland Network podcasts including mine, you can instead subscribe to the Grantland Network iTunes feed. Today’s guest is Dave Dameshek, writer and podcaster for NFL.com. Follow him on Twitter @Dameshek.
The topics we cover:
- 0:00-4:20: Introductory Grantland Network podcast
- 4:21-45:16: Debate: Tim Raines vs. Willie Stargell; WAR: what is it good for?; our shared crush on Rob Lowe; franchise players
- 45:17-59:13: The Sonic Award
- 59:14-end: League of Leagues update

I’ve got to say, it’s a little jarring not hearing the intro and outro music I’m so used to. I hope it doesn’t fall by the wayside completely. Or, at the very least, I hope the Grantland podcasts get their own music. Oh, and by the way, you should make sure to keep posting any future ones of these on this site, as well!
Jonah mentioned posting something about software allowing people to run their own “League of Leagues.” I do not see anything about it here or on Grantland, does anyone have any info on this. Also, I really enjoyed this podcast, thanks Jonah.
Hi Ryan,
The website in question is actually under construction, I’m told. Will update here when it’s all set.
