In this powerful conversation, I sit down with former NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith to discuss his new book Turf Wars. We dive into his firsthand experiences negotiating with NFL owners, the battles that shaped player rights, and the high-stakes conflicts that changed the game both on and off the field. De shares behind-the-scenes stories, legal insights, and leadership lessons from his years at the forefront of labor relations in professional football. Whether you’re a coach, administrator, agent, athlete, or simply a fan of the game, this episode pulls back the curtain on the real power struggles in the NFL. Buy De book at www.turfwarsbook.com
