Eddie DeBartolo: ‘John [Lynch] hopefully will be like John McVay was for all of us.'

Eddie DeBartolo will be in the Bay Area next week for the induction of Carmen Policy into the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame. In advance of that, DeBartolo took some time to join Tim Kawakami for a chat on the latter’s podcast. I’ve embedded the audio below, and you can also find it here.

The first 15 minutes includes some fun stories and discussion about Carmen Policy and their relationship. It gets serious after that as they discuss Dwight Clark and his recent ALS diagnosis.

In the final six minutes, Kawakami asked him DeBartolo about the decision to hire John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan, and what it might mean.
