Strong opinions on the biggest stories in sports
Copyright: © Copyright FOX Sports Radio (FSR-PR)
On today's episode, Jason explains why he thinks the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs' decisions to lock up their star tight ends - George Kittle and Travis Kelce, respectively - proves that they're forward thinking franchises and shows exactly why both teams are among the favorites to make the Super Bowl this season. He also explains why the growing unrest within the Syracuse and Florida State football programs are a mark of bigger problem facing the ACC and their general lack of leadership in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Plus, producer Rob joins Jason to discuss why the Portland Trail Blazers last-second victory against the Brooklyn Nets illustrated exactly why you shouldn't expect them to beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round, if Russell Westbrook's quad injury could ultimately lead to the Houston Rockets getting knocked out by the Oklahoma City Thunder, and why the Los Angeles Clippers incredible depth and talent could actually come back to bite them in the NBA playoffs.
