Stafford Trade Heating Up, NFL Media Starbucks Fights, Abdul Carter Hurt, and St. Elmo Saddam

From radio row at the NFL combine, The Ringer’s Danny Heifetz, Craig Horlbeck, and Danny Kelly begin by talking about the biggest story of the day: the Starbucks confrontation between reporters Ian Rapoport and Jordan Schultz that took the sports media world by storm. Then, the guys fantasize about potential trade destinations for Matthew Stafford before discussing this year’s draft class, including Abdul Carter’s foot injury and the guys’ opinions on whether Travis Hunter will successfully be able to play wide receiver and cornerback. The guys also recap their time at St. Elmo Steak House in Indianapolis, where they had an unexpected run-in with Saddam Hussein.
