January 15, 2021 James Harden Facing Most Pressure In His NBA Career
James Harden got his wish. He's been pouting...complaining...and demanding for months to be traded to the Brooklyn Nets. He wanted to re-unite with Kevin Durant...he wanted the chance to play for a title contender.
James Harden now has that opportunity...but now the pressure is on. If Harden doesn't win an NBA title with the Nets...this is going to be viewed as a massive failure. Brooklyn mortgaged their future to acquire him from the Rockets...and now Harden's legacy is on the line.
We explain why the pairing of Harden and Kyrie Irving won't work. With Durant and Irving already being crowned NBA champions...if this doesn't result in a title in Brooklyn...the blame will fall on the shoulders of James Harden.

January 14, 2021 Kyrie Irving Needs to Retire From NBA
Here we are again...talking about the off-the-court antics of the NBA's strangest superstar...Kyrie Irving. Kyrie has been away from the Brooklyn Nets since last week due to "personal" reasons...and is now likely to miss more time for violating the league's COVID protocols.
Kyrie Irving was seen partying without a mask...attending a Zoom call for a New York City political candidate...and partying with Drake...all in the last week. He was clearly becoming too much of a distraction for Steve Nash and the Brooklyn Nets.
The Nets went out and got Kyrie insurance in the form of James Harden. We explain why this could be the end for Kyrie in Brooklyn...and how he will eventually turn on Kevin Durant. We also explain why Kyrie Irving needs to retire from the NBA...and pursue his outside interests.

January 13, 2021 Patriots Need to Part Ways With Cam Newton
When Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots signed Cam Newton last summer...we thought it was going to work. However...it was clear by October that Cam Newton didn't fit the Patriots offensive system. His style clashed with Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels.
We explain why the Patriots shouldn't re-sign Cam Newton this offseason...and list potential quarterbacks they could go after. We go into detail why selecting a quarterback in the draft won't work for Bill Belichick...and why the Patriots need to go after a veteran.
We also explain why 2020 wasn't all a failure for Cam Newton...and where he could possibly play next season.

January 12, 2021 Steelers Need To Let Big Ben Go; Carson Wentz to Stay With Eagles?
This week in our What's Real/What's Fake segment:
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a Big Ben Roethlisberger problem...not a Mike Tomlin issue.
Drew Brees likely to retire once Saints playoff run ends.
Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to blame for playoff loss to Rams.
Doug Pederson's firing changes Carson Wentz' future with Eagles.

January 10, 2021 Deshaun Watson Needs Out of Texans Dumpster Fire Immediately
The Houston Texans have never had a franchise quarterback in the history of the organization...until they drafted Deshaun Watson. It's evident that ownership in Houston doesn't appreciate or respect their franchise quarterback.
The Texans have made a series of bad decisions over the years. Prime example is keeping Bill O'Brien around for far too long...who set the Texans back YEARS with his personnel decisions.
Deshaun Watson signed a contract extension with the Texans before the 2020 season...but the organization is a disaster and nowhere near playoff contention. We explain why Deshaun Watson needs to do whatever it takes to get out of Houston this offseason.

January 08, 2021 NBA Going Back Down Slippery Slope of Woke Politics
Last week I uploaded a video praising the NBA for easing up on woke politics throughout the league. Back in October...Adam Silver said the NBA was going to get back to basketball and remove politics...and the ratings the opening week of the season saw a dramatic increase.
Politics were removed...for three weeks. After what happened in Washington DC on Wednesday...players and coaches throughout the NBA are expressing their political opinions. Players threatened to cancel games...and also kneeled for the national anthem.
We once again explain why it's imperative for the NBA to stay out of the political arena...and stick to playing basketball.

January 07, 2021 Dak Prescott Headed Towards Another Franchise Tag
Jerry Jones was on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas earlier this week...pandering to Dak Prescott AGAIN. The Cowboys owner was insinuating that a long-term deal was going to get done with their quarterback this offseason.
This is shaping up to be a replication of what we saw in Dallas last summer. We explain why Jerry Jones doesn't want to commit long-term to Dak...and if he did...he would've already done so. We also dispel the notion that Dak Prescott is a franchise quarterback...and explain why he's mediocre instead.

January 06, 2021 Doug Pederson Era in Philadelphia Could Be Over
Doug Pederson and the Philadelphia Eagles had nothing to play for Sunday night against Washington...besides draft positioning. The Eagles came into the game holding the sixth pick in the NFL draft. Had they beaten Washington...they would've dropped to number nine. It benefitted the Eagles to lose.
However...the way in which the Eagles lost was unacceptable. Doug Pederson benched Jalen Hurts for Nate Sudfeld in the fourth quarter...and it caused a revolt on the sidelines that carried over into the locker room.
We explain why this decision by Doug Pederson was not only wrong...it alienated him in the Eagles locker room. He has lost the respect from his own players...and continued losing that respect by lying and saying that Nate Sudfeld gave the Eagles the best chance to win.
Will Doug Pederson be the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles next season?

January 05, 2021 Tua Chokes...AGAIN; Carson Wentz Wants Out of Philadelphia
This week in our What's Real/What's Fake segment:
Tua Tagovailoa's bad day in big spot for Miami Dolphins will linger all offseason.
Carson Wentz and Doug Pederson relationship fractured beyond repair.
Los Angeles Chargers and Anthony Lynn were both winners Sunday afternoon.
NFL proves that ESPN's Max Kellerman is a woke idiot.

January 03, 2021 JJ Watt Playing Final Game With Texans
In the NFL...we typically associate teams with their quarterbacks. However...we associate the Houston Texans with star defensive end JJ Watt. Because the Texans haven't had a franchise quarterback before Deshaun Watson...JJ Watt has been the face of the franchise.
JJ Watt has given 10 years to the Texans...but now it's time for him to look out for himself and end his career with a Superbowl contender. We explain why it would be beneficial for both JJ Watt and the Houston Texans for him to be traded this offseason.
Many feel the Pittsburgh Steelers are the most likely destination for JJ Watt. We explain why Pittsburgh isn't the best option...and give the two best teams that give him an opportunity to end his career with a Superbowl ring.
