Rich previews the Browns vs Broncos on Thursday Night Football and explains why Cleveland fans shouldn’t press the panic button with journeyman backup QB Case Keenum starting for the injured Baker Mayfield. 

Rich presents this week’s ‘Gorilla Glue Toughest Player on Planet Earth’ award to Purdue WR David Bell who hauled in 11 catches for a whopping 240 yards in the Boilermakers’ upset of the 2nd-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes.

Shams Charania, NBA Insider for The Athletic and Stadium, and Rich discuss the lack of chemistry issues between LeBron James, Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis that led to the Lakers’ season-opening loss to Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors, the Bucks’ blowout of the Nets and if Brooklyn will see Kyrie Irving suit up for them this season as he refused to get Covid-19 vaccinated, and if there’s any solution to the stalemate between the Philadelphia 76ers and disgruntled swingman Ben Simmons.

Rich, Brockman and TJ make their NBA predictions for the 2021-22 season for MVP, Rookie of the Year, Coach of the Year, and NBA Champions.
