On today’s episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick defense of Anthony Davis in the wake of the online backlash that hit the Los Angeles Lakers big man after he sat out Wednesday’s preseason game with a back issue. Has anyone noticed that AD has actually been more available than superstars like Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Kyrie Irving? Why the talking heads have taken Davis to task but let the other guys slide is beyond me. Sticking in the NBA, multiple outlets reported that Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole at practice on Wednesday. Almost immediately after the news broke several reporters tried to spin the news in Green’s favor. Chances are this whole thing blows over, but if it doesn’t, you just know the Golden State Warriors would choose Poole. Later, CBS Colorado sports reporter Justin Adams swings by to preview the Thursday Night Football matchup between the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts, how the Denver offense has turned Russell Wilson into the rookie year version of himself, where Wilson ranks in the hierarchy of AFC West quarterbacks, why it’s become clear that head coach Nathaniel Hackett is in over his head, the possibility that Eric Bieniemy could become the next head coach of the Colorado Buffalos, and much more! Finally, Jason closes the show with a very special Thursday Night Football edition of the Best Bet.
