On today’s episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) bring you wall-to-wall reaction to wild night one of the Sweet Sixteen. Drew Timme was unstoppable as Gonzaga came back from a 13-point halftime deficit - and almost gagged it back at the end - to hand UCLA yet another crushing NCAA Tournament loss. The Bruins will have nightmares about that Julian Strawther 3-point for a long, long time. The only question for UCLA now becomes whether or not super seniors Tyger Campbell and Jaime Jaquez are going to come back for their fifth years. In the East Region, Kansas State's diminutive point guard Markquis Nowell put on a legendary performance (20 points, 19 assists and 5 steals) leading the Wildcats to a thrilling overtime win over Michigan State; the kid was absolutely electric. Interestingly enough, none of Thursday's biggest stars (Timme, Jaquez or Nowell) project to be anything more than fringe NBA players, but maybe that's partly why this year's Tournament has been so fascinating? Finally, the guys close the show by making their official picks for the Sweet Sixteen Friday slate.

On today’s episode, Jason kicks things off by sharing his thoughts on the New York Jets overhauled wide receiver room in preparation for their potential trade for Aaron Rodgers. Switching gears to the NBA, the knee injury to Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George is absolutely devastating. If you thought the Western Conference playoff race was crazy before, just wait and see how this PG injury shakes things up. Later, NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah swings by to discuss the long-rumored trade that would send Rodgers to the Jets, why he’s high on Tennessee’s Hendon Hooker as an NFL prospect, why Florida’s Anthony Richardson could be the biggest boom-or-bust prospect in the NFL Draft, why he hanks Bryce Young over CJ Stroud and much more! Finally, J-Mac closes the show his Best Bets for this week’s Sweet Sixteen games in the NCAA Tournament.

On today’s episode, Jason gets the party started by sharing his thoughts on the report that Lamar Jackson’s representatives are speaking with other teams - and he isn’t looking for a fully guaranteed deal. The fact that Jackson still can’t get a team to bite could be attributed to him not having an agent to represent him. How else do you explain a guy like Daniel Jones getting locked up long-term before Jackson? Finally, former NBA All-Star and UNLV legend Larry Johnson swings by to discuss his legendary Runnin’ Rebels teams of the early 90s, the biggest difference between the UNLV that won the championship and the one that got upset in the Final Four, what he doesn’t like about the style of play in today’s NBA, why he believes New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson is the current player who most reminds him of himself and much more!

On today’s episode, Jason gets the party started by recapping a wild Monday in the NBA. Long story short, it was a really rough night for fans of the Los Angeles Lakers. Plus, J-Mac shares a quick thought on Cam Newton’s attempted NFL comeback. Between injuries and age, it’s clear that Newton should no longer be viewed as a viable starting quarterback in the NFL. Later, FS1 college basketball analyst Casey Jacobsen swings by to discuss the newfound parity in the sport, why he believes Creighton has what it takes to upend Alabama down the road and come out of the South Region, the Big East’s representation in the Sweet Sixteen, how Gonzaga matches up with UCLA in what many consider to be this week’s marquee matchup, how Purdue’s shocking first round loss to 16-seed Farleigh Dickinson could impact Matt Painter’s future with the program, his own NCAA Tournament experiences and much more!

On today’s episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) get things started by recapping the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament. Top seeds Alabama and Houston still look like the cream of the crop, but if Drew Timme keeps dominating the way he has been then maybe it’s time to throw Gonzaga in the mix as well. Timme is one of the best college players we’ve seen in a decade. However, given his overall lack of prototypical size and athleticism, it’s hard to see exactly how his game translates to the NBA. Alabama superstar Brandon Miller, on the other hand, has a game that seems built for the NBA but he’s struggled mightily in the tournament. Are his issues strictly health-related or is that infamous murder investigation finally starting to get to him? Finally, J-Mac and Rob close the show by sharing their thoughts on Bronny James’ looming decision whether to go to college next year or go pro in a place like the G-League or Overtime Elite.

On today’s episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) get things started by recapping day 1 of the NCAA Tournament. Outside of perpetual disappointments Virginia and Arizona going down in the afternoon, it really was a rather uneventful day. However, the Round of 32 games on Saturday are looking extra spicy as two #1 seeds (Houston and Kansas) could be on upset alert. Later, the guys dive deep into the week that was for the Las Vegas Raiders. Rob G – a noted Raiders fan – isn’t feeling the acquisition of Jimmy Garoppolo or the trade of Darren Waller, while J-Mac is cautiously optimistic that Josh McDaniels can turn things around in year two if they can hit on their draft picks. Finally, the guys close the show by discussing relatively soft trade markets for Austin Ekeler and Lamar Jackson. Both guys are All-Pro caliber players… so why hasn’t anyone made an offer?

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by explaining why he hates the idea of Aaron Rodgers joining his beloved New York Jets. When Rodgers said he 'intends' to join the Jets he was essentially trying to put pressure on the Green Bay Packers to get a deal done sooner or later. Both sides are dug in at the negotiating table so this could take all offseason to get finalized. Later, Action Network senior editor Thomas Casale swings by to preview the NCAA Tournament and explain why Alabama may have the easiest path to the Final Four of any top seed, the Kansas Jayhawks’ chances of repeating as national champions, why some very knowledgeable people are big believers in North Carolina and Arizona, why he sees the logic in bettors who are fading Purdue, why he expects several Big 12 teams to advance out of the first round, which Cinderella teams have a chance to make a deep tournament run, why there’s more value in betting in bracket pools than betting game-to-game, round-to-round and much more!
