Show notes

On today's episode, Jason and Producer Rob get things started by sharing their thoughts on a wild Game 7 in the NLCS. The Dodgers got a clutch home run from Cody Bellinger to clinch their 3rd World Series appearance in the last 4 years - but should we expect the results to be any different this time around? Will Clayton Kershaw finally be able to exercise his postseason demons once and for all? We'll find out soon enough. Later, Jason reacts to all the Week 6 action in the NFL, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' thrashing of Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, the Tennessee Titans' overtime victory over the Houston Texans led by MVP-candidate Derrick Henry, the Pittsburgh Steelers suffocating win over Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns, and much more. Jason also takes a quick look-ahead at the Week 7 gambling lines and lets you know which games look appetizing from a betting perspective.

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason starts things off by explaining why he thinks running back Le'Veon Bell will be a great fit with the Kansas City Chiefs, why you have to give former Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey credit for his role in revolutionizing the way basketball is played today even if his Rockets never actually won a title, and why he's skeptical about Tyronn Lue being the right man for the job as the head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Ring Chasers will Come Flocking to LeBron and the Lakers & NFL Week 6 Preview with Tori Gurley Oct 15, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason does a deep dive on the future of LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, and explains why he can envision a scenario where a slew of NBA veterans look to 'ring chase' next season alongside The King. Do you want to play alongside 2 of the greatest players in the NBA? Are you willing to set ego aside in the quest for a championship? Do you want to use the Lakers brand to elevate your own individual brand? Are you interested in setting yourself up for a career after basketball? If the answer to these questions is yes, then the Lakers are the perfect spot for you in 2021. Jason even has a list of 5 veteran players he could envision looking to latch on to the Purple and Gold next season (We see you, Carmelo Anthony!) Plus, former NFL wide receiver Tori Gurley swings by to discuss what it was like playing on the same AAU basketball team as Steph Curry (and beating a team led by Kevin Durant) and when he knew Steph was destined for greatness, his biggest regret from his days in the NFL, tell us why he's betting big on Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers this Sunday, and much more!

Josh Allen and the Bills Got Exposed, the Dumpster Fire New York Jets & Michael Thomas' Diva Tendencies Oct 14, 2020

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason shares his thoughts on The Tennessee Titans’ Tuesday Night Football demolition of the Buffalo Bills, and he wonders aloud if Josh Allen and the Bills were overrated all along. It’s impossible to come away from that game thinking that Buffalo is a legitimate Super Bowl contender or that Allen is a better quarterback than the slightly above-average Ryan Tannehill. Later, Jason discusses the New York Jets shocking decision to dump high-priced running back Le’Veon Bell and explains that although Bell was a disappointment in New York it’s hard to put 100% of the blame on the mercurial tailback. Let’s be honest, the Jets have been arguably the worst-run NFL franchise of the last decade. Finally, Jason closes the show by doing a deep dive into the scathing report in the Athletic on New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas. Is Thomas the latest diva wide receiver to let success get to his head, or will he take the criticism to heart and get back on the straight and narrow? Only time will tell. But if the Saints keep struggling this season… it could get worse before it gets better.

The Cursed Chargers, The Dak Prescott Conundrum & LeBron the IG King Oct 13, 2020

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason shares his thoughts on the Monday Night Football matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and the New Orleans Saints, and explains why it’s time to admit that the Chargers are a cursed franchise – even if rookie quarterback Justin Herbert is an absolute stud, and that it’s crazy to think that Drew Brees is still an upper-echelon quarterback. Jason also goes off on Dallas Cowboys COO Stephen Jones for proclaiming Dak Prescott to be the ‘future’ of the franchise on the heels of Dak’s catastrophic ankle injury. Who in their right mind would willingly paint themselves into a corner like that? Later, Producer Rob joins the discussion to help make sense of LeBron James’ latest social media shot at all the haters and naysayers in the sports media world. If Michael Jordan can use perceived slights as motivation to elevate his play why can't LeBron do the same? Finally, Jason looks to keep his hot streak going with a very special Tuesday Night Football edition of The Best Bet.

LeBron's Case for the GOAT, Tough Day for Dak Prescott & the Fraudulent 49ers Oct 12, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason and Producer Rob start things off by taking a verbal victory lap to celebrate the Los Angeles Lakers winning the 2020 NBA championship. Jason argues that LeBron James winning his 4th ring has officially vaulted him past Michael Jordan in the GOAT conversation, and the guys discuss the Lakers' chances of repeating in 2021. Plus, Jason and Rob share their thoughts on the runner-up Miami Heat and tell us if we should expect to see Jimmy Butler, Bam Adabayo and the boys in the championship mix moving forward coming out of the Eastern Conference. Later, Jason does a deep dive into Week 5 of the NFL and explains why the brutal ankle injury suffered by Dak Prescott on Sunday could ultimately cost him that giant payday from the Dallas Cowboys, why he's so excited to see that the Seattle Seahawks have continued to let Russell Wilson cook, why injuries and the inconsistent play of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo have the San Francisco 49ers staring down the barrel of another losing season, what - if anything - the NFL can do to make sure every team can play all 16 games this season following the latest COVID outbreak, and much more! Finally, Jason closes out the show with his Monday Night Football edition of the Best Bet.

Bad Night For Tom Brady and the Bucs, a 3-for-1 NFL Best Bet & NBA champion Eddie House Oct 09, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason shares his thoughts on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ugly Thursday Night Football loss to Nick Foles and the Chicago Bears. The Bucs thoroughly outplayed the Bears, and were it not for a few flag-happy referees we may have seen a different outcome. And while many will point to Tom Brady's sideline blowup towards his offensive linemen or him forgetting what down it was on the final drive, Jason encourages Bucs fans to stop, take a deep breath and give TB12 a few more weeks with a healthy roster before you start to pass judgement. Plus, NBA champion Eddie House swings by to explain why he was so surprised to see the Los Angeles Clippers fire his former coach Doc Rivers, tell us why he has a hard time considering Giannis Antetokounmpo to be a true 'superstar' given the way he's flamed out in the playoffs the past two years, discuss the idea that this year's NBA title should have an asterisk next to it, explain why he would vote for LeBron James as this year's NBA Finals MVP (but with a hat tip to Rajon Rondo), tell us why he would still pick Michael Jordan as the GOAT over his former teammate LeBron, and much more! Later, Jason closes the show with a very special 3-for-1 NFL week 5 edition of The Best Bet.
