  • Ty Simpson #2 to the Jets | NFL Mock Draft 2.0 | Post Combine Picks for Every Time

    Grant and Tanner cover THREE topics - Ty Simpson potentially going #2 to Jets and Drew Allar replacing Burrow or Hurts, best landing spots for Tua Tagovailoa (Falcons) and Kyler Murray (Jets) when released, and post-Combine mock draft with Chiefs trading up to #3, Simpson top-6, Sonny Styles top-5, and Commanders decision at #7.

    TY SIMPSON & DREW ALLAR DRAFT PROJECTIONS

    Simpson to Jets?: Could Ty Simpson go SECOND to Jets with elite arm talent after Combine? Jets desperate for QB after Rodgers disaster, Simpson's big arm fits but accuracy concerns remain.

    Allar Replacing Burrow/Hurts: Drew Allar could replace Joe Burrow (injury history) or Jalen Hurts (contract/general inconsistency). More athletic than Simpson, perfect heir apparent for contending team, projected third QB.

    TUA & KYLER LANDING SPOTS

    Tua to Falcons: Grant and Tanner BOTH like Tua to Falcons - perfect scheme fit, weapons like Drake London/Kyle Pitts, Kirk Cousins replacement. Quick release and accuracy fits Arthur Smith's offense.

    Kyler to Jets: Both like Kyler to Jets - desperate for QB, dual-threat ability, weapons like Garrett Wilson/Breece Hall. Fresh start for Kyler after Cardinals failure, but work ethic/size concerns remain. 

    POST-COMBINE MOCK DRAFT

    Chiefs Trade Up: Chiefs trade UP to third overall for elite edge or offensive weapon. Aggressive move after back-to-back Super Bowls. Ty Simpson goes top-6 after elite Combine, Sonny Styles in the top 10. Full first-round breakdown with every pick explained. 

    BOTTOM LINE

    Simpson could go #2 to Jets, Allar replaces Burrow/Hurts. Tua to Falcons, Kyler to Jets when released. Post-Combine mock: Chiefs up to #3, Simpson top-6, Styles top-5.

  • Sonny Styles Crushed the NFL Combine | NFL Report Card Breakdown | Michigan vs Illinois Betting Pick

    Grant and Tanner cover THREE topics - betting picks for #2 Michigan vs #10 Illinois (both like the over and Michigan to win), NFL Combine results with Sonny Styles setting records and Rueben Bain measuring SMALL (30 7/8" arms - third-smallest on record!), and NFL report cards where Bengals fail, Vikings/Dolphins/Commanders succeed, plus what free agents should prioritize.

    MICHIGAN VS ILLINOIS BETTING PICKS

    • The Picks: Grant and Tanner BOTH like the over and Michigan to win. Elite offenses, pace of play, home court advantage. Breaking down why the over hits and Michigan covers. Confidence level high on both bets.

    NFL COMBINE - STYLES SETS RECORDS, BAIN MEASURES SMALL

    • The Results: Sonny Styles sets records with elite testing - perfect versatility for Daronte Jones. Rueben Bain measures 6'2", 263 lbs, 30 7/8" arms (THIRD-SMALLEST on record!) - major concern. David Bailey solid at 6'3.5", 251 lbs. Projecting how this changes Commanders' draft board and where each gets drafted.

    NFL REPORT CARDS & FREE AGENT PRIORITIES

    • The Grades: Bengals FAIL for wasting Joe Burrow's prime. Vikings/Dolphins/Commanders get good grades for smart roster building. What should free agents prioritize? Money, winning culture, scheme fit, QB situation, or location? Grant and Tanner debate what matters most.

    BOTTOM LINE

    • Michigan-Illinois picks: over and Michigan win. Combine: Styles elite, Bain's arms concerning. Report cards: Bengals fail, Commanders/Vikings/Dolphins succeed. Free agents should weigh money vs winning vs fit.

  • NFL Free Agency is Heating Up | Where will Daniel Jones and Malik Willis Play | AJ Brown to the Patriots?!

    Grant and Tanner cover THREE topics - ranking top NFL free agent quarterbacks (Malik Willis, Daniel Jones, Aaron Rodgers), what are the Browns doing chasing BOTH Willis and Simpson while their QB situation is a disaster, and AJ Brown potentially leaving Eagles with Patriots as possible destination based on betting odds.

    TOP FREE AGENT QBS - WHO WE'D SIGN

    The Market: Malik Willis (most Steelers signing ever), Daniel Jones (Colts fit?), Aaron Rodgers (one more year or retire?). Grant and Tanner debate who they'd actually sign, contract value, upside vs floor, and which teams make sense for each available QB.

    BROWNS CHASING WILLIS & SIMPSON - DISASTER

    The Mess: Browns reportedly want BOTH Malik Willis in free agency AND Ty Simpson in draft while existing QB situation is complete disaster. Mismanaged contracts, development, roster. Entire organization dysfunctional. Why do they need multiple developmental QBs when they already have mess? Front office incompetence on display.

    AJ BROWN TO PATRIOTS? 

    The Odds: Betting lines have AJ Brown leaving Eagles as real possibility with Patriots listed as destination. Usage concerns in Philly, relationship with Jalen Hurts questioned, touches/targets declined. Would Eagles let star receiver walk? Does Drake Maye need him in New England? Breaking down contract, fit, and whether he actually leaves. 

    BOTTOM LINE 

    Free agent QBs: Willis (Steelers?), Jones (Colts?), Rodgers (retire?). Browns pursuing Willis AND Simpson while QB situation is mess. AJ Brown odds have Patriots as possible destination - usage and relationship concerns in Philly.

  • RANKING TOP 15 NFL QBs! How to FIX the NBA Tanking Issue + Pairing Free Agents With NEW HOMES!

    Grant covers MAJOR topics - ranking top 15 NFL quarterbacks (Mahomes #1, Jayden #7, Maye #8, Purdy only #13!), fixing NBA's tanking problem with better solutions than the league's proposals, and predicting where top NFL free agents land including Trey Hendrickson, George Pickens, Odafe Oweh, Kyle Pitts, and Kenneth Walker III.

    TOP 15 NFL QB RANKINGS

    • The Elite: 1. Mahomes (clear #1), 2. Allen, 3. Stafford (underrated), 4. Burrow, 5. Lamar.
    • The Stars: 6. Herbert, 7. Jayden Daniels (already top-7 after rookie year!), 8. Drake Maye (Super Bowl run proves it), 9. Dak, 10. Sam Darnold (Super Bowl MVP redemption).
    • The Solid Starters: 11. Jordan Love, 12. Trevor Lawrence (hasn't lived up to hype), 13. Brock Purdy (system QB debate), 14. Jared Goff, 15. Baker Mayfield. HM: Jaxson Dart.

    FIXING NBA TANKING

    The Problem: NBA proposing trade deadline lottery freezes, consecutive top-4 restrictions, two-year records - many unfair. Grant's Better Solutions: (1) Simplify draft protections, (2) Expand equal 14% odds to 4-5 teams instead of 3, (3) Integrity monitoring like sports betting to catch teams benching healthy players, (4) Revolutionary "lottery record" system - post-All-Star break performance with wins/losses INVERTED!

    NFL FREE AGENCY PREDICTIONS

    The Fits: Trey Hendrickson → Cardinals. George Pickens → Cowboys. Odafe Oweh → Commanders. Kyle Pitts → Titans. Kenneth Walker III → Broncos (wants Cowboys but $30M over cap!). Malik Willis → Steelers (most Steelers signing ever). Mike Evans → Raiders. Travis Etienne → 49ers. Daniel Jones → Colts. Jaelan Phillips → Panthers. Boye Mafe → Ravens. 

    BOTTOM LINE

    • QB Rankings: Mahomes #1, Jayden #7, Maye #8, Purdy only #13. NBA needs lottery record system rewarding competition. Free agency: Hendrickson/Cardinals, Pickens/Cowboys, Oweh/Commanders, Pitts/Titans.

  • CJ Stroud TRADED? Tua to the JETS? Where Will These NFL Quarterbacks Play in 2026? Plus Free Agent Talk for Tyreek Hill and Kenneth Walker

    Grant and Tanner predict where every notable NFL quarterback will play in 2026 - CJ Stroud heading to Cleveland, Tua Tagovailoa landing with the Jets, plus Mac Jones, Derek Carr, and more landing spots for the QB carousel that happens every offseason.

    CJ STROUD - BROWNS DESTINATION

    The Move: CJ Stroud lands in Cleveland after Houston moves on. Browns desperately need franchise QB after years of chaos - does Stroud revive his career with a fresh start? Breaking down why this makes sense for both sides and what it means for Houston's QB search. 

    TUA TAGOVAILOA - JETS LANDING SPOT

    The Reunion: Tua heads to New York after Miami finally moves on. Jets have been searching for franchise QB since forever - is Tua the answer or another disappointment? Breaking down the fit, the risk, and whether a change of scenery helps Tua reach his potential. 

    THE REST OF THE QB CAROUSEL

    Other Landing Spots: Mac Jones, Derek Carr, Aaron Rodgers, and other notable QBs finding new homes. Which teams are upgrading, which are settling, and which moves make absolutely no sense. Full predictions for every quarterback in flux!

  • Olympics Update | MVP + Super Bowl Odds DARK HORSES and UNDERDOG PICKS | NBA All-Star Game

    Grant and Tanner draft NBA All-Star rosters in hypothetical white vs black players game (Team Black -10.5 with Shai/Giannis/Wemby vs Team White's Luka/Jokic), break down Winter Olympics medal count with Team USA in SECOND behind Norway after major upsets, and pick dark horse NFL MVP candidates and Super Bowl sleepers for 2026 after Sam Darnold (+8000) won championship. 

    NBA ALL-STAR DRAFT: WHITE VS BLACK

    The Rosters: Team Black (Shai, Ant, Kawhi, Giannis, Wemby, Steph, Cade, Maxey, Jaylen, Bam) vs Team White (Luka, Jokic, Reaves, Flagg, Lauri, Pritchard, Knuppel, Herro, Chet, Sengun). Team Black favored by 10-12 points with elite depth and defensive dominance. Only reason it's not 15+ is Luka/Jokic are generational talents. 

    WINTER OLYMPICS - USA 2ND BEHIND NORWAY

    The Standings: Norway FIRST in medal odds, Team USA second after major upsets in expected gold events. Breaking down what went right and wrong for USA, Norway's cross-country/biathlon dominance, and whether USA can catch them down the stretch. 

    DARK HORSE NFL MVP & SUPER BOWL

    The Value: After Sam Darnold (+8000) won Super Bowl and Drake Maye (+6000) nearly won MVP, which dark horses could shock everyone in 2026? Breaking down sleeper MVP candidates (Jayden Daniels, Anthony Richardson, Caleb Williams) and Super Bowl long shots with betting value. Commanders at +4500 for 2027. 

    BOTTOM LINE

    Team Black wins NBA matchup by 10-12 despite Luka/Jokic brilliance. Norway leads Olympics with USA second after upsets. Last year's NFL chaos (Darnold champion, Maye MVP runner-up) proves dark horses are LEGIT for 2026.

  • Will Campbell EXPOSED, Sam Darnold’s INSANE Comeback & 2026 NFL Mock Draft Chaos

    Grant and Tanner break down Super Bowl fallout, historic comebacks, and draft chaos in this loaded NFL episode. 

    They start with New England’s collapse in Super Bowl LX, where the Seahawks dominated the Patriots 29-13.

    Will Campbell got exposed on the biggest stage, Drake Maye had zero protection, and the Patriots were never truly championship-caliber despite the narrative. Was Campbell a reach? Did the offensive line completely doom Maye? And what does this embarrassing loss say about New England’s future and roster construction?

    Next, the guys debate whether Sam Darnold just completed the greatest comeback in sports history. From Jets bust to Super Bowl champion, where does Darnold’s redemption rank compared to legendary stories like Tom Brady, Kurt Warner, Drew Brees, Baker Mayfield, and Alex Smith? Is this the ultimate “bust to champion” arc, or are we overreacting?

    Finally, Grant and Tanner go pick-by-pick through a complete 2026 NFL Mock Draft (Round 1).

    Who goes #1 overall — is Fernando Mendoza the clear top pick? Which teams will reach for quarterbacks, could Ty Simpson sneak into Round 1, and what trades could create total draft-night chaos? They also break down Washington’s decision at pick 7, surprise risers and fallers, and the moves that could reshape the entire first round.

    From Super Bowl reality checks to legacy debates to draft-night madness — it’s all here.

  • Bill Belichick DENIED From NFL HALL OF FAME! How Does Tom Brady Factor In? |  NFL Mock Draft REACTION! Mendoza First, Who Fills Out the Top 10?

    Grant and Tanner break down Ty Simpson projected 21st to Steelers after turning down $6.5M from Miami, Bill Belichick getting SHOCKINGLY denied first-ballot Hall of Fame entry, Fernando Mendoza as the consensus #1 pick in 2026 mock drafts, and the Bills firing Sean McDermott to promote Joe Brady with zero HC experience.

    TY SIMPSON - STEELERS AT 21?

    The Projection: Alabama QB projected to go 21st overall to Pittsburgh. Turned down Miami's $6.5 million NIL offer to stay in college - did he make a massive mistake leaving guaranteed money for draft uncertainty?
    Aaron Rodgers Factor: If Rodgers returns to Steelers, does Pittsburgh still draft QB at 21? At 41 years old, they still need succession plan. Simpson needs developmental year regardless of landing spot.

    BELICHICK HALL OF FAME SNUB - OUTRAGEOUS

    The Shock: Bill Belichick with SIX Super Bowl titles and 333 career wins was NOT voted into Hall of Fame on first ballot. Absolutely insane for a coach of his caliber.
    Why It Happened: Spygate/Deflategate scandals gave voters "character concerns." Tom Brady winning immediately in Tampa Bay (Belichick 48-57 without Brady as starter) changed narrative to "Brady made Belichick, not the other way around."

    2026 NFL MOCK DRAFT BREAKDOWN

    Fernando Mendoza #1: California QB is consensus #1 overall pick in every mock draft. Elite arm talent and pro-ready processing separate him from the class.
    QB Rankings: Massive drop-off after Mendoza. Ty Simpson, Jaxson Dart and others could sneak into first round despite questions - teams will reach for developmental QBs in late first.

    BILLS FIRE MCDERMOTT, PROMOTE BRADY

    The Decision: Buffalo fires Sean McDermott after another playoff loss, immediately promotes OC Joe Brady to head coach despite zero head coaching experience at any level. Panic move or calculated risk?
    Who's to Blame?: Is it McDermott's conservative coaching? Josh Allen's playoff turnovers? Roster construction? Or just Chiefs being unstoppable? Breaking down who's actually responsible for Buffalo's Super Bowl drought and what comes next for Allen with first-time HC.

    BOTTOM LINE

    Ty Simpson gambling on NFL over $6.5M guaranteed NIL money with Steelers at 21. Belichick snubbed from first-ballot HOF as voters make statement about Brady vs. Belichick dynasty. Fernando Mendoza consensus #1 in weak QB class. Bills make risky move firing proven playoff coach for unproven offensive coordinator.
