Giannis Staying in Milwaukee is Bad for the NBA & Actor Jerry O'Connell Dec 16, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by sharing his thoughts on Giannis Antetokounmpo's decision to forego free agency and sign a supermax contract to stay with the Milwaukee Bucks. On the surface it sounds like a heartwarming story, but the reality is that player movement and the formation of Super Teams is what makes the NBA such a hot topic year round. By staying in Milwaukee, Giannis has removed a piece off the board and actually hurt the League in the process. Plus, actor Jerry O'Connell swings by to discuss what it was like working alongside bombshells like Mariah Carey and Jennifer Love Hewitt, how he still gets recognized for some of the more iconic roles he had in the past, how he caught the fantasy football bug when he worked on the movie 'Jerry Maguire' (even if he's thinking about quitting after this season), why a bad beat involving the New York Yankees back in the day is why he longer gambles on sports these days, why he as a long-suffering New York Jets fan has a soft spot for the Los Angeles Chargers now that he's moved to Los Angeles, what it's like to talk sports with the Hall of Famers in his neighborhood like Willie McGinest and Eric Dickerson, and much more!

Lamar Jackson's 'Cramp' Game, The NFL Game of the Year & a Lesson on Failure Dec 15, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason shares his thoughts on the Baltimore Ravens' wild victory over the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football. This game had EVERYTHING. Lamar Jackson had to leave the game with 'cramps', or 'diarrhea' if you believe the folks on Twitter, but was forced back into action when his backup injured his leg with less than two minutes left in the game. Naturally, Jackson threw the go-ahead touchdown pass on his first play back. Not to be outdone, Baker Mayfield led his team right back and scored the game-tying touchdown with less than a minute to go. Jackson then came back and marched the Ravens down the field AGAIN where Justin Tucker hit a 55-yard field goal with only seconds left on the clock. As if that ending wasn't wild enough, the Browns botched the lateral on the game's final play and fumbled out of the end zone for a safety. So not only did the Ravens get the win in dramatic fashion, but they covered the 3-point spread. Like we said, this game had EVERYTHING. It was easily the Game of the Year thus far in the NFL. Later, Jason closes the pod with a quick rant on the social media trolls who came after LiAngelo Ball after the middle Ball Brother was cut by the Detroit Pistons before ever stepping foot on the court. While the hater took glee in seeing Ball's dreams crushed, Jason argues that he should commend for having the bravery to chase his dreams.

Saints Caught Slippin', Rodgers is Rolling Towards and MVP & Playing the Blame Game with Big Ben Dec 14, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason opens things up with a very simple question: Are the New Orleans Saints the team we thought they were? The Saints had been the hottest team in the League until rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts lit them up in his first career start. Chalk it up to a lack of familiarity with the opponent - or just a rare bad game from their defense - but either way the loss knocked them out of the top seed in the NFC. Which brings us to the Green Bay Packers. With their win on Sunday, the road to the Super Bowl in the NFC suddenly go through Lambeau Field. It's fitting that in a year where three other teams had been pegged as the team to beat in the conference (Saints, Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and two other quarterbacks were tabbed as MVP front-runners (Patrick Mahomes, Russell Wilson) that Aaron Rodgers and the Packers now have the inside track in both races. Producer Rob joins the show to share his thoughts on the Las Vegas Raiders' decision to finally cut ties with their defensive coordinator, and Jason tells us why he has a big problem with Ben Roethlisberger blaming the Pittsburgh Steelers struggling offense on the lack of a running game. Big Ben was the reason the Steelers lost on Sunday Night to the Buffalo Bills and his physical limitations is one reason why they can't be more creative offensively. Later, Jason and Rob tell us why Florida Gators head coach Dan Mullen has a point when he says that his team would likely still be in the mix for the College Football Playoff if they hadn't played so many games this season. Mullen is probably the last guy you want making this kind of statement but he's got it right on this one. Finally, Jason closes things out with the Monday Night Football edition of the Best Bet.

Why the Rams are Like the Chiefs & Former NFL Executive of the Year Randy Mueller Dec 11, 2020

Show notes

Jason opens things up with a quick reaction to the Los Angeles Rams suffocating victory over the New England Patriots. The Patriots appear set to miss the playoffs for the first time since 2008, but more importantly, the Rams look like arguably the most complete team in the NFC. In fact, you can see shades of the Kansas City Chiefs with how varied and explosive their offense is. Later, former NFL Executive of the Year and The Athletic podcast host Randy Mueller swings by to explain why he's not surprised by the Miami Dolphins' quick turnaround from last year to this year, why the authenticity of Brian Flores and Joe Judge is the biggest reason why they've been able to buck the trend of failed Bill Belichick disciples, why it's so important for the front office and the head coach to be aligned on the type of team they're trying to build - which is the biggest reason why the Cleveland Browns are thriving and the Dallas Cowboys are floundering, how Nick Saban was able to bring the best out of him as an executive when the two were together with the Dolphins, why's pessimistic that Jim Harbaugh will be back in the NFL next season but optimistic about the return of Marvin Lewis, why he's been a little surprised to see Andy Reid disciples Matt Nagy and Doug Pederson struggle so much the past seasons, why John Elway's decision not to draft Josh Allen was so shocking to him, and much more! Finally, Jason closes the show with another multi-pack edition of the Best Bet.

NBA Season Preview with FS1 NBA analyst Chris Broussard Dec 10, 2020

Show notes

FS1 NBA analyst analyst and FOX Sports Radio host Chris Broussard joins the show for a lengthy conversation leading up to the start of the NBA season, and Broussard explains why he expects James Harden to at least start the season in a Houston Rockets uniform, what a Harden-Kevin Durant-Kyrie Irving trio might look like in Brooklyn, why the chemistry issues that plagued the Los Angeles Clippers last season should serve as a cautionary tale for the Nets, how Trae Young and Russell Westbrook could help their teams shake up the Eastern Conference playoff picture, why he believes the Philadelphia 76ers have a great shot of reaching the NBA Finals, why the Clippers lack of leadership could be their undoing again in 2021 (even if he does expect them to be much improved in that area), why it's unfair of Jason to say that Kawhi Leonard doesn't belong in the same sentence as LeBron James at this point in their careers, why he still believes LeBron can catch Michael Jordan in the GOAT discussion, and much more! Later, Jason closes the show with the Thursday Night Football edition of the Best Bet.

Ravens Run Over the Cowboys, Landing Spots for Harden & FS1 NFL analyst TJ Houshmandzadeh Dec 09, 2020

Show notes

Jason opens things up by sharing a quick thought on the Baltimore Ravens victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday Night Football. It’s hard to really take much away from the game given that the Cowboys are so bad that the Ravens hardly ever had to step out of their comfort zone to win. In fact, the most interesting thing to come out of the game actually took place off the field as Dez Bryant had to be pulled during warmups after testing positive for COVID-19. Given the way the season has played out thus far, how the hell could the NFL’s protocols allow something like this to happen? It makes no sense. Later. Producer Rob joins the show to help make sense of the latest report that James Harden has expanded his list of preferred trade destinations. Are the Philadelphia 76ers the new front-runners? Should the Golden State Warriors throw their hat into the mix? And is the Brooklyn Nets offer really that bad? Plus, former NFL Pro Bowler, FS1 NFL analyst and FOX Sports Radio host TJ Houshmandzadeh discusses how he was able escape a childhood filled with drug abuse and violence to eventually become an NFL wide receiver, why a series of poor decisions in high school is the reason why he had to make a pitstop in junior college before moving up to Division 1, how a group of JUCO kids helped create the greatest team in Oregon State football history, why he thinks the Indianapolis Colts are the ideal landing spot for Carson Wentz if the Philadelphia Eagles decide to move on, why he takes such great price in seeing Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Chase Claypool blow up in the NFL, how he's managed to make the transition from the football field to the sports media world, and much more!
