Rich recaps Ben Simmons’ first trip back to Philadelphia with the Brooklyn Nets where he was heartily booed by 76ers fans while James Harden struggled mightily for the Sixers against his previous team.

Rich comments on the end of the MLB lockout and VERY humbly brags about his role getting baseball owners and players to agree to a new CBA.

Former NFL front office executive Joe Banner tells Rich how long Aaron Rodgers’ new contract with the Packers will run, why Russell Wilson might not translate to more wins for the Broncos in the tough AFC West, why the Commanders might come to regret trading for Carson Wentz, if the Eagles could make a move for Deshaun Watson, what the Khalil Mack trade says about the mindset of the Bears and the Chargers, and why Kyler Murray made a mistake by going public with his beef with the Cardinals.

Rich lists his top five sports moments of the week, and says why the Chargers landing Mack was “a heckuva move” for their Super Bowl aspirations.
