So that happened. The road to the 2016 election is paved with good intentions. Republican presidential hopeful Marco Rubio tried to have fun playing catch in Iowa this week, but ended up taking a kid down. It's a perfect metaphor for the GOP primary contest to date. Because it was a bad throw. We know -- we talked about it with Donte Stallworth, who played wide receiver for 10 years in the NFL. Hear about everything from Rubio's post-debate bump to Trump's staying power to the flummoxing foibles of Obama's not-so-elite terrorism interrogation unit -- all on this week's "So, That Happened" podcast:

"That's no way to treat your allies," Stallworth said.

We also talk about the weird, underregulated pet food industry and the prospects for NCAA athlete unions. It's fun. And frightening. Enjoy.
