Chad and Nate discuss tonight’s MVP matchup between Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid and they have to ask: does this game actually have a role to play in the MVP race? They discuss the mind blowing success of Tom Brady now that he’s back. They discuss the courtship of Deshaun Watson and the desperation of QB needy teams who would want such an embattled player. They are joined by our Avalanche insider Adrian Dater to get some news about Gabiriel Landeskog’s knee procedure. He explains the NHL’s Long Term IR Loophole in relation to Landy and Sam Girard’s injuries. He believes the Avs will be players at the trade deadline. In today’s edition of Distractions, Chad regales us with the story of how the Seahawks courted him to the Emerald City.
