On this week’s episode of the Edge of Sports podcast, we spoke to sportswriter Chuck Modiano about shock NFL MVP candidate Geno Smith, quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks. Chuck predicted this for Smith when others did not. We talk about what he saw.

I also have a tribute to my favorite writer, the recently departed Mike Davis.
