The Arash Markazi Show

Twelve months almost to the day after this show first tried to make sense of the Aspiration story, the NBA made it official — and Grant and John Browner walk through one of the harshest punishments in league history, line by line: a $30 million fine, five first-round picks gone (2029 through 2033, including the voided Pacers pick), Steve Ballmer suspended a year, Gillian Zucker a year, Lawrence Frank six months, Uncle Dennis banned five years — and Kawhi Leonard fined $700,000 with his contract intact. John's verdict: they dropped a nuke, and the only people truly punished are Ballmer and the fans. Josh Tariff joins with the eerie Joe Smith/Timberwolves parallel the show called a year ago, and Beav arrives to fight John over November 2: does Kawhi actually play at the Intuit Dome, or does he never make the trip? Plus the Clippers' scorched-earth response ("heavily biased... a predetermined result"), performed by John in its true musical form; the attorney letter calling it a witch hunt; the tinfoil-bodysuit theory about why the ESPN report and the verdict don't match; and Grant's autopsy of the Kawhi era — ten first-round picks, zero Finals. The show closes on a serious note with John's unsparing response to Penn State's Paterno museum plans. New episodes weekday mornings. Follow the crew on X.

Everything in sports is for sale — and this time the buyer matters. Stan Kroenke is purchasing the Angels for a reported $3.9 billion, an MLB record, and Grant and John Browner explain why Angels fans just hit the owner jackpot: the land around the stadium, the LA Live-style build-out coming to Anaheim, and John's prediction that the Ducks end up in the Kroenke orbit next. Mykell Mathieu joins as a lifelong Angels fan ("the Galactic Empire has come to an end") and Steve Cofield of ESPN Las Vegas explains why the rest of baseball's owners should be nervous about a spender with no salary cap. Then John delivers his Lane Kiffin verdict — multiple national titles, because sometimes a snake lands in a place that loves snakes — and makes the case that Houston should not pay CJ Stroud until he proves it for two more years. It closes with Steve's read on NBA expansion in Vegas and the Portland ownership mess John says smells exactly like what happened to the Sonics. New episodes weekday mornings. Follow the crew on X.

Grant and John Browner dig into the NFL Top 100, where Lamar Jackson — a multiple-time MVP who was No. 2 a year ago — fell 67 spots to No. 69 in a list voted on by the players themselves. John's read: this isn't a snub, it's confirmation that locker rooms don't fear him anymore. Arash Markazi joins fired up about the USC attendance story the whole country piled on: 100 degrees, San Jose State, a 38-point spread, and a noon kickoff nobody chose. John argues the schedule is the real problem, and the two land on the truth about Los Angeles — there are two of everything here, and football simply doesn't mean what it means in Texas. Josh Tariff arrives with the Packers autopsy: Matt LaFleur got an extension he shouldn't have, Green Bay let its leading receiver walk, and Micah Parsons is out four games. John's verdict on the division's other bench boss is even harsher — Dan Campbell is the most overrated coach in football, and that "run through a wall" style has an expiration date. It closes with the 49ers, George Kittle, and an organization whose wires are never crossed. New episodes weekday mornings. Follow the crew on X.

The first show on SportsGrid lands on the perfect day: Aaron Donald is officially coming out of retirement, one year, $20 million. Grant and John Browner break down whether he plays Week 1, why a lowball offer was never possible, and John's only real question — under which mattress did the Rams find that money? Mykell Mathieu joins live from Rams practice, where he asked Donald himself what brought him back, and makes the case this was one of the greatest offseasons any team has ever had. Josh Tariff arrives with the fantasy math on what might be the best statistical defense ever assembled, plus two sleepers worth stashing. Then: Odell Beckham Jr. returns to the Giants and John isn't buying nostalgia, Will Levis gets waived and John explains the cycle bad organizations can never escape, and the Fernando Mendoza argument comes back with a vengeance — put him out there and let him stink.

A special live reaction show from the Chargers-Rams preseason finale, with Tim Parker reporting live from SoFi. The crew gets the full Justin Herbert experience — a fumble on the first drive, then a 60-yard bomb to Quentin Johnston — and John makes his case that this is finally Herbert's first complete season, just not a Super Bowl one. Tim's brutal read on Ty Simpson explains why Stetson Bennett still has the backup job, the preseason ending means Aaron Donald's clock has officially run out, and John explains what the Chargers actually broke in San Diego. Then it turns into a war: John says this Clippers roster wins 20 games, Grant says 40-42 and calls the number disrespectful, and somewhere in there John delivers a genuine love letter to Steve Ballmer that ends with four words about Lawrence Frank.

It's official-official: The Sporting Tribune Today joins SportsGrid on Monday, August 31 — 7AM and 11AM Eastern — and Grant, John Browner and Arash Markazi open with the celebration (and the suspiciously buff AI promo art). Then the news: the NFL has eliminated the Pro Bowl Games entirely, and John delivers the eulogy — the players ended this themselves, the Hawaii era gave way to the nothing era, and if the owners are smart, the "Pro Bowl bonus" leaves contracts next. The crew breaks down the league's new three-strikes suspension list (hip-drop yes, launching?!) and John's theory that gambling money is what's really softening football. Plus the Jed York bodycam video ("a handcuff training film"), the Lakers mess getting a court date — nothing resolves before November, and John's verdict on Jeanie's 5-to-1 odds is an instant classic — and Jonathan Kuminga turning down more Lakers money to join a Minnesota team John thinks might be the fastest in the league.

A night of firsts. Arash Markazi joins with the announcement six years in the making: this is the show's final week on terrestrial radio — because The Sporting Tribune Today is coming to television. From the pandemic-era Mightier 1090 relaunch to TV: the full origin story gets told, and John's only career advice — keep the same energy — hits different on a night like this. Then the sports world's own first: the Browns are waiving TE Daquan Wright, who has a deal in place to go BACK to college at LSU — the first NFL-to-college player ever. John's take: no rules broken, easy money, and the NBA should be terrified of the loophole. Plus Kalshi lands partnerships across MLB — Dodgers included — and John's warning about gambling, ownership groups and money that was never liquid: "this feels very Ponzi." Tim Parker closes the night defending Stephen A. Smith against the NABJ award nobody wants, and John explains exactly why the backlash landed. Full television details drop later this week.

The offseason was supposed to be quiet. Instead: Deshaun Watson is the Browns' Week 1 starter over Shedeur Sanders, and the crew — Grant, John Browner and Beav — isn't buying a word of the press conference. John's verdict: this decision came from the man who cut the $225M check, not Todd Monken, and no apology un-rings the boos that are coming. Beav calls it a slap in the face to Sanders and says the only move was cutting Watson and eating the money. Then the story nobody had on their card: 49ers owner Jed York arrested in Ohio in a solicitation sting — John mounts a legalization defense while Grant and Beav make the optics case ("if it's not the power plant, it's the prostitutes"). Plus Giannis and Klay Thompson officially open the Heat era, and John names it instantly: Milwaukee with better weather — Klay is hurt Khris Middleton, Bam is a better Myles Turner, and six East teams are better. The Wizards manifesto returns, and the show closes with an expansion fight: Seattle, Mexico City, Kansas City... or the San Diego team John would drive the Intuit Dome down the 5 for.

Special edition! The Rams blanked the Saints 34-0 at SoFi Stadium in Week 2 of the preseason, and Grant Mona and John Browner went live right after the final whistle. They break down Stetson Bennett's two-touchdown day and the QB2 battle with Ty Simpson, a dominant Rams defense, CJ Daniels making his case at WR3, Jarquez Hunter's roster push, and the latest on Aaron Donald's comeback. Arash Markazi joins from SoFi Stadium, and Mykell Mathieu and Eric Lambkins II hop on with what they saw from the locker room. This is the first of many live postgame reactions from The Sporting Tribune — get used to seeing us after games. Directed & Produced by: Grant Mona Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A trade broke minutes before showtime: the Peyton Watson saga is over. Watson lands in Cleveland on a four-year, $88M deal, Max Strus becomes a Clipper, and Denver walks away with picks. John says it falls at Lawrence Frank's feet — too much smoke to come up empty — while Grant sees the real play: a free $16M expiring to flip at the deadline. Josh joins to explain why Denver actually won, why the Cavs' 2031 pick is a doomsday asset, and what the Harden money means. Plus: AJ Brown torches his old Eagles teammates at joint practice and John declares he'd rather have Baker Mayfield than Jalen Hurts, JJ McCarthy gets the Ford-dealership speech, the $963M Highmark Stadium roast, and the Maxey question — who really takes the Sixers' last shot?

Grant and John Browner pick up the story that ate Monday alive — and it got wilder on Tuesday. The Lakers sale isn't a Buss family story anymore; it's a Mark Walter story. New reporting says Walter tried to pull payments years early out of the Dodgers' Spectrum TV deal, he's selling Chelsea, and John does the arithmetic nobody at the press conference will: Bob Iger and Josh Kushner combined aren't worth $13 billion. So who is? The name that surfaced — Khaldoon Al Mubarak, the Manchester City chairman and front man for Sheikh Mansour — and the crew walks through how a controlling-majority rule meets a 14.9% wink, what oil money did to golf (the $1 billion Tiger Woods turned down, the $100 million appearance checks, Phil Mickelson's "I got debt"), the Saudi comedy shows no one ever saw a minute of, and why the second apron means nothing to people with that kind of liquid cash. Before all that: the Fernando Mendoza situation in Las Vegas. John's position hasn't moved — every game Kirk Cousins starts is evaluation time the Raiders are lighting on fire, Mendoza doesn't need to be generational to be a good NFL starter today, and Cousins' own quote ("I just let him be") gives away how much mentoring is actually happening. Plus Von Miller signs with the Cowboys and John unloads on the Cowboys tax — the thirty-year title drought, championship footage that exists only on VHS, and why he's not buying Caleb Downs until someone says Sean Taylor and means it. The show closes on why John has always believed Myles Garrett's side of the 2019 helmet incident, the training-camp brawls sweeping the league (John's forensic conclusion: it's hot), and the NL MVP race — where Pete Crow-Armstrong is having the season of his life and it still isn't a contest, because Shohei Ohtani picks up a baseball too.

The fire hose opened at 10:40 AM and never shut off. Grant and John Browner — with Arash Markazi joining — sort through the wildest news day of the year, starting with the story this show has tracked for a year: per a blockbuster ESPN report from Ramona Shelburne, Shams Charania, Baxter Holmes and Don Van Natta Jr., the NBA's Kawhi Leonard investigation found no concrete evidence that Steve Ballmer circumvented the cap. John's reaction is immediate: if he's Ballmer, he's suing for defamation after a year of the league dangling his reputation in public. And the twist nobody can believe — the NBA's response was to accuse its own broadcast partner of "significant inaccuracies," publicly calling ESPN's best reporters wrong on their biggest story. Arash brings the resolution energy: thank God it's over, the Clippers have had the findings since July, expect a hand-slap — picks or a fine — and the trade to Toronto now has a full runway. Then the uncomfortable part: John lays out the blueprint this precedent creates (call a rich friend, wink twice, see you in the Maldives), and Grant pulls the receipts on LeBron, crypto.com and the Sixers' jersey patch — not an accusation, but the exact question a no-punishment ending invites, because as John puts it, "public" has never meant "innocent." Then the story that somehow topped it: the Buss family civil war. A reported 5-1 vote to sell the remaining Lakers stake, Jeanie's attorney calling the report a fabrication, the brothers trying to force her out again, the 15% governor threshold, Mark Walter's $12.5 billion flip fourteen months after buying — and now he's selling his Chelsea stake too. Arash's viral read got a "no notes" from Bill Simmons, and the crew games out arbitration, the billionaire garage sale, and whether the Dodgers are quietly in play for Ballmer, Kroenke or Patrick Soon-Shiong. It ends with actual good news: the Padres are sold, the Seidler saga is over, and Kwanza Jones and José Feliciano make history — with a kicker that ties the whole night together.

The Los Angeles Lakers are changing hands again. Just 14 months after Mark Walter agreed to purchase the franchise at a $10 billion valuation, Josh Kushner and former Disney CEO Bob Iger have reached an agreement to buy the Lakers for a record $12.5 billion. Grant Mona and John Browner examine the timing of the stunning sale, why Walter would move on from an appreciating asset so quickly and why the franchise apparently never reached the open market. Could another group have offered more? Why did Kushner and Iger pivot from pursuing an NBA expansion team in Las Vegas to buying a franchise that nobody knew was available? The conversation also covers the federal and SEC scrutiny surrounding Walter's business empire, Kushner's previous sports investments and the potential questions created by Iger's longstanding connection to Disney, ABC and ESPN. Grant and John also wonder why Magic Johnson apparently wasn't given an opportunity to assemble a group, compare the private sale to the Lakers' acquisition of Luka Dončić and discuss why the NBA will face pressure to examine every part of the proposed transaction before approving it. Finally, John explains his theory about how the Clippers' Kawhi Leonard investigation could affect the attention surrounding the Lakers' ownership change. This episode includes commentary and speculation based on publicly reported information. Mark Walter hasn't been charged with wrongdoing, and the proposed Lakers sale remains subject to NBA approval.

Grant Mona and Arash Markazi reunite for a throwback edition of The Sporting Tribune Today, covering the biggest questions surrounding Southern California and Las Vegas sports. Arash shares his firsthand observations from the Rams' joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys in Woodland Hills, including the secrecy surrounding the session, Puka Nacua's injury scare, Myles Garrett's lingering knee swelling and Stetson Bennett's difficult performance. With Matthew Stafford entering another championship-or-bust season, do the Rams have a backup quarterback they can trust? The conversation then moves to Las Vegas, where veteran Kirk Cousins enters preseason as the Raiders' starting quarterback ahead of No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza. Grant and Arash discuss why Mendoza may benefit from waiting, what could force the Raiders to play him and how much progress would make Klint Kubiak's first season a success. They also examine the Chargers' ceiling, whether Mike McDaniel can unlock the best version of Justin Herbert and why regular-season success will no longer be enough for Jim Harbaugh's team. On the NBA side, Grant and Arash react to the opening-week and Christmas schedules, LeBron James returning to Los Angeles as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers and the start of the Luka Dončić era with the Lakers. Grant believes the rebuilt Lakers can finish as high as third in the Western Conference, while Arash questions whether the roster has a true championship ceiling. Finally, the latest Kawhi Leonard clues lead back to the stalled Clippers-Raptors trade. Kawhi has continued appearing around Toronto, while another curious image from the Clippers' facility has Grant wondering if both sides are already preparing for the deal to be completed.

Grant Mona is joined by Arash Markazi, John Browner and Josh Tariff for a packed edition of The Sporting Tribune Today. The crew breaks down Aaron Donald's latest workouts with the Rams and whether the future Hall of Famer is really preparing to come out of retirement. They also debate what Donald could add to an already loaded defense featuring Myles Garrett and whether the Rams should be viewed as clear Super Bowl favorites. Then, the conversation turns to the investigation surrounding Kawhi Leonard and the stalled trade that would send him to the Toronto Raptors for Brandon Ingram. Could Leonard end up back with the Los Angeles Clippers? What happens to the trade if the investigation stretches into training camp? The panel looks at the difficult decisions facing both organizations and why Clippers fans may quickly welcome Leonard back if he remains in Los Angeles. Arash also discusses the excitement surrounding Tarik Skubal after the reigning back-to-back Cy Young Award winner joined the Dodgers, while Grant explains why he isn't ready to panic over the team's recent struggles.

Grant, John Browner and Beav open with the worst-kept secret in football getting one step less secret: a defensive tackle named Aaron Donald, out of Pittsburgh, officially appeared on the NFL's workout transaction wire for the Los Angeles Rams. John torches the Adam Schefter drip campaign — tweet by tweet, "he just wanted to feel a helmet on" — while Beav shares what he's been saying all along: Donald's been in that facility more than anyone realizes, he won't play Week 1, and the Rams will save him from himself with a plan built for January. Add Sean McVay's all-time terrible poker face ("best workout I've ever seen — I hope the kid makes the team") and the crew agrees on the Calvin Johnson-Barry Sanders theory of why he left, and why he stayed ready. Then the rounds: Stefon Diggs to the Commanders and why it doesn't move the needle for Jayden Daniels, real concern for Brandon Aiyuk — Beav says take his mental health seriously — the Odell-Malik Nabers workout video that should terrify Giants fans, and the Giants as "the most unbuttoned organization" in football. The show turns serious on Tua in Atlanta: John makes the full case that the commissioner should step in, guarantee the money, and end it, and Beav backs it with his own concussion story. Then it swings all the way back: Justin Herbert got engaged, and the great LOVE debate erupts — Beav wants no-love, hate-home Tom Brady; John defends work-life balance with a full roster of romance rules. And in the post-show, John absolutely snaps on the Detroit Pistons' G League affiliate charging $250 for open tryouts — the shorts, the socks, jersey number 182 — before Beav declares for the Windy City Bulls and drops the note Clippers fans have been waiting on: the Kawhi train is stopping everybody, and Peyton Watson is still coming.

It's a two-man Tuesday — Grant and John Browner — and it ends in the funniest place in football: the 49ers' training camp, which sits next to an electrical substation and has produced nine injuries in five practices. Mike Evans' quad, Ricky Pearsall done for the year, hamstrings and calves and ribs everywhere — and the internet has responded by drawing the substation bigger, and more evil, with every new pull. John's verdict is harsher than the meme: the Niners are cheap, the practice field looks like a prison yard, and — in the night's instant classic — children are like sponges: you can only squeeze out what you pour in. Before the curse: a Dodgers panic check. They're 13-15 since July 1, swept by the Red Sox, dropped a series to the Cubs — and still up big, with Skubal's six-inning debut wasted by zero run support. John's message to the freak-out crowd: look at the division lead, this is September spring training, and the Phantom IL is working as intended. Plus the Padres winning John back exactly as promised on his own show, the Rutschman-to-Boston deal that shames the Skubal package, and a wide-open AL where the Rays have the best record and nobody can name the favorite. Then the NBA block: why the Spurs standing pat is the smartest move of the summer (Dylan Harper starts, Castle is 6-8 now, and the Harper-Castle war for a $400M contract is coming), John's prediction that De'Aaron Fox leaves on the first thing smoking, and a full teardown of the Nuggets wasting peak Jokic — cap hell, the homegrown-love disease, and the Jamal Murray trade to New Orleans that John would make tonight.

Hours after the trade deadline, Grant, John Browner and E Lamb sort through a changed baseball world. Tarik Skubal is a Dodger — a two-time Cy Young winner joining the two-time reigning MVP — and E Lamb answers as fan and journalist at once: he loves it, and he's also putting on the conspiracy hat, arguing the league is letting the Dodgers stack talent to guarantee the hard cap it wants. John isn't buying it: the lockout was coming regardless, Skubal told the world he wanted LA, and no team was giving up a real haul for a two-month rental. From there it's the fight underneath every deadline move — John's case that a cap is really about raising the floor (more teams sit under the projected floor than over the cap), E Lamb's "get your weight up or sell" capitalism sermon, and a genuinely great disagreement about what failure means: E Lamb doesn't celebrate second place, John explains why a Padres playoff berth is the greatest run the city has ever had, and Grant gets caught in the Clippers-fan crossfire. Then the NFL hypotheticals: should a six-months-post-ACL Patrick Mahomes really start Week 1, how many Kirk Cousins starts before sitting No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza becomes malpractice (John: zero — play him against the shambolic Dolphins immediately; E Lamb: sitting is how you save a quarterback), and what it says about Minnesota if Kyler Murray beats out JJ McCarthy. The post-show goes to the uncomfortable place: John and E Lamb on why JJ McCarthy went that high while Shedeur Sanders fell to the sixth — "we don't have to talk in code." And E Lamb closes with real beat intel: if Aaron Donald returns it happens before the Australia trip, the Myles Garrett trade had — said with confidence — a significant influence on him contemplating it, and don't rule out Vita Vea joining him.

Five deep tonight — Grant, Tim Parker, David Bloom, Mykell Mathieu and E Lamb — and the Clippers news is grim. Baxter Holmes of ESPN reports the Aspiration investigation could bleed into 2027, and Grant has had it: as he puts it, it's the year 2085, Bronny James Jr. the Second is in the league, and the investigation still isn't concluded. He torches the recycled reporting cycle — everyone re-breaking that the Raptors don't want the penalties, which the show covered three weeks ago — while E Lamb plays the adult in the room and lays out the actual endgame nobody else is explaining: findings, the Clippers' right to push back, then arbitration or court. His warning from July 4 stands — the longer this lingers, the worse it gets — and if it isn't concluded by the trade deadline, there is no trade. Mykell just feels bad for Toronto, where Kawhi was supposed to retire, and for Brandon Ingram, stuck on a team that already tried to ship him out. Before the doom: Luka Doncic is flying the ENTIRE Lakers roster to Slovenia on his own dime for a four-day August mini-camp, and the panel splits on what it means — Mykell calls it everything the last era never gave the fans, E Lamb contrasts it with a certain someone working out in another team's facility, Tim (crediting the "vanilla Lakers") says team bonding doesn't move a seed, and the crew fights over what year one of solo Luka has to look like: Western Conference Finals or bust? Plus Deebo Samuel returns to the Niners with Ricky Pearsall likely out long-term, Tim declares the Niners cooked while Grant — the self-described biggest Niners hater alive — explains why the cockroach always survives, and E Lamb announces the TST Fantasy Football League.

Grant, John Browner and Tim Parker finally get to the biggest story of the offseason — and they could not disagree more. Tim has never been happier to be wrong: he had LeBron going to Cleveland, then Golden State or Miami, and instead he got the biggest thing in Philadelphia sports history. Xfinity Mobile Arena is MSG now, Broad Street is Broadway, and anybody who lived through the process — Ish Smith, Evan Turner, Thad Young, Henry Sims — has earned this. John pours cold water: he's 42, the best player on the roster is Jaylen Brown, and nobody on that team knows this offense yet. Then John opens the curtain on something fans never see — what an NBA practice actually looks like after training camp ends, why teams won't let you watch it, and why LeBron will not take a full practice rep all season. From there it's a full autopsy of the fit: does Tyrese Maxey get unleashed or buried at number three on the call sheet, is this 1988 Magic or 1991 Magic, and the one argument that finally scares Tim — every champion is a top-12 defense, and this team can't guard anybody. Plus Tim's line in the sand ("no Eastern Conference Finals and LeBron feels a wrath he hasn't felt since The Decision"), the East hierarchy sorted into regular-season good versus playoff good, Charlotte as the dark horse, and the Anthony Simons war that will not die. Before the break, a Kawhi update: a third company has entered the Aspiration investigation, ESPN reports it could bleed into 2027, and John explains why — the league isn't investigating anymore, it's negotiating the punishment behind closed doors. John opens the show with a tribute to his friend and former 1090 colleague Billy Ray Smith Jr., who died Wednesday at 64. The post-show takes on WNBA All-Star weekend, where the off-court coverage swallowed the basketball, and closes with news: the TST Podcast Network is officially happening. New episodes drop nightly.

The wait is over: LeBron James is a Philadelphia 76er — reportedly for peanuts — and the crew (Grant, John Browner, Beav and E Lamb) spends the night sorting through the wreckage. The biggest casualty? Golden State. Grant cooks on the Warriors wasting Steph Curry's last prime years: the roster of exploded knees and 39-year-olds, the front-office exit that says everything, and the report that they're already "building for the next era." So the GM war room opens: do you do the unthinkable and trade Steph? John's play — you don't take calls, you MAKE them: San Antonio, four firsts, and take the De'Aaron Fox contract off their neck. Beav pitches Orlando and a Houston KD reunion; Charlotte with Kon Knueppel gets a "little Klay" nod. Before all that, E Lamb files a live report from Rams camp at LMU: Matthew Stafford looks like a back-to-back MVP candidate, Puka Nacua made a one-handed catch right in front of him, rookie CJ Daniels turned every head at practice, and Konata Mumpfield is "baby DeVonta." Plus the full training-camp tour: the Jalen Hurts identity-crisis debate returns, E Lamb sends Jacksonville to the AFC Championship, the crew rules on Travis Hunter's future (full-time corner, Canton-level ceiling), John is officially over Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen gets the Jim Kelly treatment, and the Mahomes-isn't-bouncing-back theory built entirely on Travis Kelce's decline.

Grant Mona, John Browner and Tim Parker close out the week with a show that gets realer as it goes. John opens the vault on the Kawhi investigation: he thinks it's already done, the league is sitting on it, and the punishment lands soft — 10 to 15 games, Uncle Dennis takes the fall, and Kawhi's cooking by Christmas anyway. Before that, it's MLB doomsday prep: the August 3 trade deadline is a mirage (the Dodgers' IL is their trade deadline), John wants to see how big the monster can get with a Tarek Skubal heist before the salary cap lands, and his research says the lockout math is brutal — sixteen teams under the projected spending floor, six over the cap, and in John's words, there will be NO season at all. The fix? The union should learn from the Savannah Bananas and the 2011 NBA lockout, when Rucker Park and the Drew League kept the players untouchable. Then the post-show goes nuclear: the Rich Paul roast — the daily pod, the economy-flight bit, Grant's courtside story about seeing him in the same outfit as that morning's episode — and John's instant-classic rant on millionaires crying broke. The $5M-isn't-a-lot discourse, the JJ Redick quote, the Nas line, and why Bam Adebayo and Giannis never talk like this. The ticket takers don't care about your tax bracket. New episodes drop nightly.

Tim Parker is back from Philadelphia and the crew — Grant, Tim and David Bloom — has a night full of receipts. The Miami Heat accidentally published, then scrambled to delete, a scheduled video dated July 27 — and Grant, who lives inside YouTube Studio, explains exactly how a slip like that happens and why this one doesn't look like an accident. Is that LeBron's date? Tim reads the tea leaves the only way that's ever made sense: through the family — Zhuri's volleyball life in LA, Savannah's history with Miami, and why Golden State is a 45-minute flight that keeps everyone happy. Plus the Markieff Morris "sources" tweet that had the panel asking: per WHO? Before all that, Tim files a report from Philly: Schwarber one homer short at the Derby, the All-Star Game leading the local news, and a Phillies team that fell apart on the little things against a Dodgers club that never misses them — including the JT Realmuto baserunning decision nobody can explain. The guys make the case for Max Muncy's No. 13 in the rafters, debate Kyle Tucker as a $60M "add-on," and Tim shares a story from Dodger Stadium that confirms the worst-kept secret in baseball: the Phantom IL is real. The post-show goes NFL: Tim (a lifelong Eagles fan) says his own team isn't built to hang with the Rams, declares this the Year of Jalen Hurts, and drops a hot take — the defending-champion Seahawks miss the playoffs entirely.

Grant welcomes John Browner, Beav and Eric Lambkins II for a show that opens in full revolt: Bleacher Report's top 99 NBA defenders of all time has Draymond Green at No. 10 — ahead of Kawhi, Michael Jordan and Gary Payton — and the crew is not okay. John makes the case for Dennis Rodman as the greatest defender ever, E Lamb declares war on the Kobe-at-42 slander and plants a flag for Michael Cooper as the best Laker defender of all time, and the guys decide TST needs to build its own list. Then it's the new-look Lakers: has Rob Pelinka actually transformed the roster around Luka, or is he just looking busy when the boss walks by? The panel debates Walker Kessler as the whole plan's linchpin, Matisse Thybulle as a Marcus Smart-style reclamation, Cam Carr's defensive promise, and where the Lakers land in a loaded West — including John's vow to fight anyone who doubts his Utah and Washington shockers, plus the Stephon Castle growth-spurt take that gets out of hand. In the post-show, E Lamb makes it official from the beat: the Rams are the NFC front-runner, and the Donald–Garrett front four math is undefeated. Beav refuses to pre-crown anybody, defends Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith, and circles October 4 in Philly. New episodes drop nightly. Follow the crew and catch the post-show on X.

The full crew is back — Grant, John Browner, David Bloom and Josh Tariff — and the biggest story finally has legs: Aaron Donald is coming back to the Rams. It's not official, but between the grainy footage at the Woodland Hills facility, Davante Adams' posts and Myles Garrett unpacking a signed jersey, the guys treat it as done and start dreaming on a Greatest Show on Turf defense — third-down packages, double-digit sack predictions, and a message for the smug defending-champion Seahawks they don't play until Christmas. Before that: the LeBron sweepstakes drags on with nobody actually knowing anything, and the panel torches the fake-sources economy — Kendrick Perkins, Pat Beverley, DraftKings odds, and how the ESPN insider machine really works. Plus final summer league verdicts: the Warriors win it all behind MVP Yaxel Lendeborg, Caleb Wilson looks like the best of the whole class, Aday Mara gets exposed, and the crew renders a split decision on Keaton Wagler's Vegas — Grant sees a second-half burst scorer the Clippers will let take his lumps, John sees a project who never passed the eye test. It ends with an 0-17 Cardinals prediction and a plea to Jacoby Brissett: take the money. New episodes drop nightly. Follow the crew and catch the post-show on X.

It's a Clippers summer league postgame reaction show with the perfect crew for it — Grant, Beav and David Bloom, three guys who love the Clippers and hate them a little bit sometimes. Keaton Wagler sits out against the Wizards and the panel splits: Grant wanted him on the floor building confidence against lower competition, David says resting a top-five pick on a back-to-back is just what summer league is, and Beav is frustrated the Clippers won't let a struggling 19-year-old develop. Meanwhile the guys who did play looked good — Kobe Sanders drops 26 and gets caught mic'd up leading the huddle, Nick "The Juice" Martinelli keeps earning his roster card, and Yanic Konan Niederhauser tells Joey Lynn he's up from 238 to 265 pounds. Then it gets uncomfortable: is Cam Christie's time with the Clippers over? The crew debates the fan-favorite pipeline, why the franchise hits on second-rounders but can't find a homegrown star, whether this era matches the 2018–19 transition team, and Beav demands Adam Silver stop lying and let the Kawhi trade through. Plus a LeBron free agency check-in: Cleveland, Golden State, Philly or Miami? New episodes drop nightly. Follow the crew and catch the show on X.

Grant's back from Summer League in Vegas and the crew — John Browner, Beav and David Bloom — has thoughts. Three games in on Keaton Wagler and the panel is not having it: John calls it a red flag, Beav just says trash, David sees a passive, tentative player afraid to ruin his percentages. Grant is the lone defender, pointing to 19.5 points and 41.6% from three over the last two games and arguing the real issue is a 19-year-old frame, not the jumper. Meanwhile Darius Acuff drops 26 in 26 minutes and John hands out an A+. The guys run the last five No. 5 picks, debate whether Lawrence Frank is on the clock, and then get into the Kawhi Leonard mess: a second NBA investigation tied to the Aspiration probe, AI images of Kawhi as a Marvel Groot offshoot, and an Adam Silver quote that flatly contradicts the Raptors' own statement. Who actually paused that trade? Plus Gary Trent Jr., circumvention that everyone pretends isn't happening, and a StubHub story that ties it all together. New episodes drop nightly.

It's Summer League Eve and the crew — Grant, John Browner and Beav — is holding down the whole week. The guys preview the rookie heavyweight matchups tipping off in Vegas: the No. 1 vs. No. 2 debate in AJ Dybantsa vs. Darryn Peterson, the grudge match of Darius Acuff vs. Keaton Wagler, and Cameron Boozer vs. Caleb Wilson. John makes his case for Boozer as a Carlos Boozer–meets–Kevin Love floor, the panel gets into life after Kawhi and how Kobe Sanders' minutes get squeezed, and John pitches blowing up the G League entirely. Then the post-show turns into a brawl: is Jalen Hurts actually a good quarterback, or just a winner riding a great roster? Beav says the slander won't be tolerated. New episodes drop nightly.

The main crew is back — Grant, John Browner and Beav — for a loaded night. The guys open on the World Cup, where Argentina erased a two-goal Egypt lead in stunning fashion (Messi doing Messi things) and a VAR overturn had everyone yelling "rigged." Then it's deep into Clippers offseason chaos: the Kawhi, Brandon Ingram and Walker Kessler deals still aren't official, the CBA apron is making everything a nightmare to track, and the panel goes to war over whether a $116M swing for Peyton Watson makes any sense — or whether Lawrence Frank is just doing stuff to do stuff. Should they simply re-sign Bennedict Mathurin and develop the No. 5 pick instead? In the post-show, the crew relitigates the SGA regret and closes with a full LeBron James free-agency breakdown: Denver, Golden State, or Philly? New episodes drop nightly.

The full crew's back after the Fourth of July — Grant, John Browner and Beav dig into a loaded night. The Clippers win the Rui Hachimura sweepstakes on a two-year deal, and the guys break down the fit at the four, the John Collins fallout, and whether a Bennedict Mathurin or Peyton Watson move is next. Then it's on to Team USA's brutal Round-of-16 exit to Belgium (and why Christian Pulisic took the brunt of it), a Summer League deep dive headlined by Darryn Peterson looking like a problem, Cam Boozer in Memphis, the Utah Jazz's ceiling and locker-room questions, the coaching carousel, and the NBA's one-free-throw experiment that sends John completely over the edge.

Grant Mona, John Browner, and Beav dig into the summer league footage of Darius Acuff looking exactly like the guard the Clippers passed on, which reignites the Kings over Clippers debate that will not die. First they get into the day-after Jaylen Brown fallout, why John thinks the deal looks even worse for Boston 24 hours later, and how the Celtics treatment of Brown could scare off future free agents. Then it is Acuff, the Clippers being handcuffed, a Team USA versus France Olympic reality check, and a WNBA and Caitlin Clark debate.

The wildest offseason in years keeps rolling.

The two biggest names in Los Angeles are both on the move. Arash Markazi, John Browner, Tim, Beav, and Grant Mona break down LeBron James officially leaving the Lakers, with the crew convinced he is headed to Golden State to chase one more title, and why signing Austin Reaves first sealed it. Then it is the Kawhi Leonard trade to Toronto, the pick haul the Clippers pulled back, and a real argument over whether the Kawhi and Paul George era was a total failure or a quiet success, with John putting the whole thing at the feet of Lawrence Frank.

Arash Markazi, Grant Mona, John Browner, and Eric Lambkins II open on the World Cup in their backyard, then dig into the Kawhi Leonard saga, with Shams reporting real talks between the Clippers and a Raptors team where Kawhi is still a hero. Grant breaks down the actual sticking points in the package, John argues trading him for pennies makes no sense after building the whole offseason around Darius Garland and Keaton Wagler, and ELamb makes the case that the only Kawhi trade worth doing is Jaylen Brown to Boston.

The Clippers finally made their pick, taking Keaton Waggler at five, and Grant Mona was inside the Intuit Dome to see it. He and John Browner break down the selection, with John arguing Lawrence Frank exposed the team's process, the workout was staged, and Darius Acuff Jr. was the better pick. Then they go around the rest of the draft, the Lakers trading up for Cameron Carr, the one lottery surprise, Ja Morant and LaMelo Ball both available, where Jaylen Brown lands, and why Miami may not escape the East even with Giannis.   The Sporting Tribune Today airs on KIRN 670 AM in Southern California, 98.5 The Bet in Las Vegas, and the Hawaii Sports Radio Network.

Grant Mona, John Browner, Josh Tariff, Beav, and David Bloom debate whether stars should keep taking pay cuts to win, what it means for Karl Anthony Towns and a Knicks team that won't enter the second apron, and the offseason's trickiest question, would you pay Austin Reaves a max or let another team overpay him.
