On today's episode, Jason gets the party started by sharing his thoughts on the reports that LeBron James will several weeks with a foot injury. The Los Angeles Lakers have been cursed since they won that 2020 Bubble NBA Championship.

Later, former NFL scout and Chicago Bears executive Greg Gabriel swings by to discuss the importance of the upcoming NFL Draft combine, the Bears’ decision whether to take a quarterback like Bryce Young with the first overall pick in the NFL Draft or trade down for additional assets, how a rebuild around incumbent starter Justin Fields might work for Chicago, the inexact science that is college quarterback scouting, what it might cost teams like the Houston Texans or Indianapolis Colts to trade up to #1 overall and much more!
