    EPISODE 159: Jason Whitlock; "Stephen A. Smith is a SELL OUT!"

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 5, 2022 37:57


    Stephen A Smith's 12 million dollar a year salary is not only because he helps the ratings at ESPN.... he also appears to be a voice & sounding board for the NBA team owners and an "authority figure" that publicly berate players when they veer too far away from the league's comfort zone.

    Nets owner Joe Tsai has a decision to make, either keep Kevin Durant or keep the 1st time head coach who's game plan against the Boston Celtics in the 1st round was to start Seth Curry and have him face guard Grant Williams and bench Blake Griffin and Lamarcus Aldridge virtually the entire series.

    EPISODE 157: Kareem Hunt Trade request, Atlanta Falcons Season Preview

    After finishing dead last in the NFC South with a record of 4-12 SU two years ago, the Falcons elected to run it back one more time with veteran QB Matt Ryan last season, which bred mild improvement comparatively (7-10 SU), but still fell short of their ultimate goal to reach the playoffs. As a result, Atlanta shipped Ryan to Indianapolis this past offseason where he signed a comfy two-year deal, and acquired former Raiders backup Marcus Mariota, who's eyeing his first starting job since leading the Titans to a 9-7 SU mark back in 2018. However, Mariota's job security is far from a sure thing, considering the Falcons drafted former Cincinnati QB Desmond Ridder in the third round of the latest NFL Draft, who's seemingly poised to claim Atlanta's starting quarterback job sometime in the near future. Atlanta's offense is going to look completely different this season, as not only will the Falcons have a new face under center, but they also parted ways with crucial pass-catchers in WR Russell Gage and TE Hayden Hurst; along with their top wideout Calvin Ridley serving a year-long suspension due to gambling violations.
