Balls And Beards Podcast

Welcome Back All to Season 2 Episode 26 of the Balls and Beards Podcast! In today's headline-making episode, the boys lead-off with some big-time news out of the NFL. Deshaun Watson & the League reached a settlement on his punishment, but was it enough? The boys discuss. Over the weekend UFC Boss Dana White made headlines that he helped "broker" a deal that would have landed Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski in Las Vegas with the Raiders before the 2020 season. The boys discuss the details surrounding it, and ultimately why it never would happened. Then it's on to other NFL news where the Panthers named Baker Mayfield their Week 1 starter and the Patriots are taking an interesting approach to the offensive side of the ball. After trying to figure out what is going on up in New England, Mikee & Chris shift to the NBA, where Mikee's Lakers signed LeBron James to an extension, but was it the right move? Then it's on to the Nets and their apparent commitment to Kyrie Irving, and will the Knicks and Jazz actually get a deal done for Donovan Mitchell?
