On today’s episode, Jason discusses how even though Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns were victorious, it’s clear that you’d rather have Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow over Mayfield moving forward. It was the 2nd game of Burrow’s career, on the road, on short rest, without the benefit of a preseason, and he still looked further along in his development than Mayfield. The Bengals have themselves a keeper. Later, Jason explains why he’s starting to worry about his Los Angeles Lakers vs. Boston Celtics NBA Finals prediction now that the Celtics are down 0-2 in the Eastern Conference Finals to the Miami Heat. Plus, FOX Sports Radio host and NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks swings by to explain why he’s picking Cam Newton and the New England Patriots to make the Super Bowl this season, why he believes this Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons is a must-win for Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys, why he’s concerned about the Houston Texans being unable to establish a true identity around Deshaun Watson, why Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray should be viewed as a dark horse MVP candidate, and much more! Finally, Jason gives a special NFL 3-pack of picks for his weekend edition of the Best Bet.

On today's episode, Jason explains how Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield went from being the lovable underdog that everyone rooted for back in college to the guy who could be on his way out of Cleveland altogether if he doesn’t get his act together. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has seemingly replaced Mayfield as America’s underdog, thus adding an extra layer of intrigue to tonight’s Thursday Night Football game. Later, Jason discusses why he believes Kemba Walker is the key to the Boston Celtics evening up the series against the Miami Heat in tonight’s Game 2, and explains why he’s picking LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers to sweep the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals. Plus, FOX Sports Radio host and FS1 personality Rob Parker swings by to discuss the Los Angeles Clippers' choke job, explain why the Clippers blowing a 3-1 lead to the Denver Nuggets still isn't as bad as the Golden State Warriors blowing a 3-1 lead to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers back in 2016, tell us why he thinks Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are destined to miss the playoffs this season, and much more! Finally, Jason looks to get back into the win column with the Thursday night edition of the Best Bet.

On today's episode, Jason verbally destroys Kawhi Leonard, Doc Rivers and Paul George after the Los Angeles Clippers folded like a cheap tent in Game 7 of their series against the Denver Nuggets. How the heck did the Paper Clips manage to blow a 3-1 lead to the Nuggets?? As they say in the movie 8 Mile: “This guy’s a choke artist!”. Kawhi got exposed as nothing more than a system player who wasn’t mentally tough enough to come through in the clutch, Doc Rivers reminded us all once again that he’s the most overrated coach in the NBA after his team blew yet another 3-1 lead in the NBA Playoffs, and ‘Playoff P’ pulled yet another elimination game disappearing act. In short, the Clippers are who we thought they were: Championship frauds. Later, Jason does a deep dive into the ongoing melodrama surrounding Odell Beckham Jr and the Cleveland Browns, and wonders aloud if Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots may be waiting in the wings to pounce if OBJ ever hits the trade market again.

On today's episode, Jason reacts to Saquon Barkley's miserable 15-carry, 6-yard performance on Monday Night Football in the New York Giants' loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and explains why it's clear now that there were no winners from the top of the 2018 NFL Draft. Two years later, neither Barkley with the Giants, Sam Darnold with the New York Jets or Baker Mayfield with Cleveland Browns has really changed the fortunes of their franchise, and you could argue that all 3 teams are wishing they had a do-over. Later, Tennessee Titans kicker Stephen Gostowski becomes the rare player to be crowned as the hero and the goat in the same game, and Jason argues that Drew Lock's pedestrian night proves that Lock and the Denver Broncos were vastly overrated heading into this season. Plus, former NBA veteran and NBA analyst Ryan Hollins checks in to preview Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics and Game 7 between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Denver Nuggets, explain why Doc Rivers deserve a lot of the blame for the Clippers inconsistent play in the postseason thus far, tell us why LeBron James is still the best player in the world right now, discuss why the Clippers should consider trading Paul George for Giannis Antetokounmpo this offseason, and much more!

On today's episode, Jason does a full recap of Sunday’s Week 1 action around the NFL, starting with a surprising defense of Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady. Brady threw 2 interceptions against the New Orleans Saints – including a Pick-6 – but Jason says you would be wise to buy stock on Brady and the Bucs now that so many football fans have already started to jump off the bandwagon. He also explains why although he was impressed with Cam Newton’s debut performance as the New England Patriots quarterback, Bill Belichick would be wise to not to run Newton so much if he plans on having his signal caller around at the end of the season. Jason goes on to explain why he believes that Aaron Rodgers, and not Lamar Jackson or Russell Wilson, turned in the most impressive quarterback performance of the day, and tell us why he was extremely disappointed in the performance Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys put together in their Sunday Night Football loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Later, Jason discusses why he’s having a hard time taking Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers seriously as title contenders after they blew yet another double-digit lead to the Denver Nuggets and have now been pushed to an upcoming Game 7. Finally, Jason does a quick preview of tonight’s opening Monday Night Football game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants in the Monday edition of the Best Bet.

On today's episode, Jason takes the Texans and the Rockets to task for embarrassing the City of Houston on Thursday night. It's bad enough that Bill O'Brien the GM traded away the team's best wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins for a running back during the offseason, but Bill O'Brien the Coach made things worse by installing such a conservative gameplan. Needless to say, Patrick Mahomes, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and the Kansas City Chiefs had no problem taking advantage of O'Brien's miscues. On the hardwood, James Harden and the Rockets didn't even bother to show up in their Game 4 blowout loss to LeBron James and the Lakers. But, ever the optimist, Jason says things aren't all bad for Houston fans: At least they got to see what real championship teams look like! Later, professional sports bettor Adam Chernoff takes Jason through a slew of NFL week 1 lines, and explains why he likes the Green Bay Packers +3 against the Minnesota Vikings, the Indianapolis Colts +8 on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and much more! Finally, Jason looks to continue his winning ways with the Weekend edition of the Best Bet.

On today's episode, Jason does a deep dive into a book excerpt that suggests Tom Brady’s supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen, played a big role in Brady’s decision to leave Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots this past offseason. According to the book, Bundchen was upset that Belichick continued to treat the Greatest Quarterback in NFL History like he was any other Patriots player, and made her feelings known to owner Robert Kraft before the 2019 season. Jason explains how Belichick’s coaching style, along with Brady’s willingness to go along with it, is what made the team so successful. So all of this leads to one obvious question: Who’s really to blame for the split? Later, Producer Rob joins the show to help recap the Toronto Raptors’ Game 6 win over the Boston Celtics and throw a little salt on the wound of Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray in the wake of their Game 4 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Finally, Jason does a quick preview of tonight’s NFL matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Houston Texans in the Thursday edition of the Best Bet.

On today's episode, Jason tries to make sense of Giannis Antetokounmpo saying that he has absolutely no plans of forcing his way out of Milwaukee on the heels of the top-seeded Bucks getting knocked out of the playoffs earlier than expected for the second year in a row, and explains that Giannis needs to learn that there’s no such thing as loyalty in sports. Does Giannis want to win regular season awards, or does he want to win a championship? If the answer is the latter, then he’ll need to leave Milwaukee. Jason also breaks down the Los Angeles Lakers’ impressive Game 3 victory over the Houston Rockets in which ‘Playoff Rondo’ actually overshadowed ‘Playoff LeBron’ down the stretch. Plus, Super Bowl champion and wine connoisseur Will Blackmon checks in to explain why it's not unusual for star quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers or Brett Favre not to talk to some of their teammates, why building relationships is key to landing a job in sports (and sports media), how he eventually became the go-to wine supplier to the stars in the NFL, and much more! Finally, Jason helps you put a little money in your pocket with his Wednesday edition of the Best Bet.

NFL football is back, baby! On today’s episode, Jason gives out his preseason NFL Playoffs predictions for both the AFC and the NFC. Some of the picks were obvious (Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, New Orleans Saints), but he REALLY went out on a limb with a few of the others (New York Jets, Detroit Lions, Arizona Cardinals). And, let’s just say guys like Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers and Deshaun Watson aren’t going to be too happy with what Jason had to say. Later, Producer Rob joins the show to help breakdown ‘Playoff P’ Paul George’s impressive performance in Game 3 that helped power the Los Angeles Clippers to a 2-1 series lead over the Denver Nuggets. Finally, Jason looks to get back into the win column with the Tuesday edition of the Best Bet.

On today’s episode, Jason’s commends LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers for doing every basketball fan a favor and winning Game 2 of their series against the Houston Rockets, and throws serious praise at ‘Playoff’ Rajon Rondo for his impressive performance off the bench. Jason also explains why the Milwaukee Bucks come-from-behind victory in Game 4 against the Miami Heat actually may have exposed Giannis Antetokounmpo as an offensive liability when it comes to NBA Playoffs basketball. Plus, professional sports bettor Preston Johnson swings by for a for a long-form conversation to discuss how he got into the business, the truth about home field/court advantage in a pandemic, which NFL futures bets he likes (and doesn’t like), how he expects the sports gambling world to evolve moving forward, and much more! Finally, Jason helps you put a little money in your pocket with his Monday edition of the Best Bet.
