It’s Opening Night in Smashville, and Jared Stillman goes one-on-one with Nashville Predators CEO Sean Henry for an extended, unfiltered 55-minute conversation ahead of the 2025–26 season.
What really went wrong in last season’s collapse
The decision to stay loyal to head coach Andrew Brunette
Brady Martin’s debut at just 18 years old
The future of the Predators’ TV deal
And the overall direction of the franchise under Barry Trotz and Sean Henry’s leadership.
Then in the Thursday Night Sermon, Jared fires off on:
Bill Belichick’s arrogance and why his UNC tenure is imploding
The Jonathan Gannon “slap” controversy and why it’s overblown
Colin Cowherd’s Yankees-Blue Jays take and why Toronto deserves more love
The Yankees = Cowboys theory and Jared’s “15-year rule” for coaches and GMs
Whether anyone still cares about Shedeur Sanders
And why A.J. Brown’s drama was always part of the trade
Jared also gives his Thursday night picks — Preds win at home, Eagles destroy the Giants.
