Sam Altman and Trump’s War Room. Plus, ESPN Draft Guru Mel Kiper Jr.

Today on The Press Box, Bryan and Joel start by talking about two big pieces that have dropped this week. First is a story from The New York Times taking us inside the White House and how Trump led the United States into war with Iran. The second piece is from The New Yorker, about OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman (13:00). Finally, they discuss the news and drama surrounding pictures released of NFL insider Dianna Russini and New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel hanging out poolside in Arizona (21:13). Then, they are joined by ESPN’s draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. (30:50). They discuss how he got into draft coverage, handling criticism, and much more. Then in Joel’s lightning round, Mel says who some of his favorite prospects have been at each position he’s ever scouted (1:04:35).
