Sean McVay Reveals Why He Almost Retired + Drafting Ty Simpson As Stafford's Successor | Bussin'

Sean McVay joins Bussin' With The Boys for an all-time episode. The Los Angeles Rams head coach and youngest ever to win a Super Bowl gets raw about his peaks, valleys, and everything in between — from almost quitting coaching after a 5-12 season to his wife's pivotal words that changed everything. McVay opens up about the Jared Goff trade, drafting Ty Simpson, giving Matthew Stafford clarity on draft night, and what leadership really looks like in the NFL. Plus the boys recap a wild Vegas weekend gambling with Dana White, the EA Sports Madden Rookie Premiere with 41 NFL draft picks, and the Conor McGregor vs Max Holloway fight announcement. This one hits different. Big hugs, tiniest of kisses!

Get on the bus with NFL players Will Compton & Taylor Lewan! The Boys are letting you in on their hilarious, high-energy (and often heartfelt) conversations. Topics range from exclusive stories to active player perspectives to out-of-left-field hot takes on things you and your friends only discuss behind closed doors. Sometimes they chat with a guest, sometimes it's just the two of them, but it's always a good time when you're Bussin' With The Boys.

And yes, this is the podcast where Mike Vrabel said he'd cut his piece off for a Super Bowl.
