    It's been a month and a half, but The Role Player is back and better (60% better) with Season 2. This is the introduction to the new Role Player, and there's a lot to discuss. The NFL is at the midway point. Lamar Jackson looks like Michael Vick. The NBA is back as well. The Heat look like they have two Rookie of the Years in Kendrick Nunn and Tyler Herro. KAT and Joel Embiid got into a fight. The CFB Playoff Rankings dropped, and there's all sorts of conversation for that topic. Tune in, and follow me on Twitter @TRP_Sports!
