Jerry is in for Boomer today so it's Gio & Jerry. The Nets have fired Jacque Vaughn so you can add him to the list of NY sports coaches that have been let go recently. We talked about the worst NY hires and came up with Adam Gase and Mickey Callaway. Gio put David Fizdale on that list as well. We could get two new football coaches and a new Yankees manager if things don't go well this upcoming season. C-Lo is here for his first update but first we talked about him co-hosting with BT yesterday, filling in for Sal. Gio said that Kevin Clancy of Barstool will be filling in for Boomer on Thursday morning. Juan Soto met the media and said it's going to be ‘electric'. Luke Voit talked about the potential of being a DH with the Mets. Anthony Rendon said baseball is a job but it's not his highest priority. Antonio Pierce thinks he has the formula to beat the Chiefs, the ‘Patrick Mahomes Rules'. Rick Pitino said he wasn't ripping anybody when he criticized his team on Sunday. In the final segment of the hour, Jason Kelce was a guest on Shaq's podcast. He told Kelce to retire and spend time with his wife and kids because he screwed up in the past. It made both Gio and Jerry sad to hear Shaq sounding so lonely. Jerry said you better have a plan when you retire or you are going to struggle. Ryan Clark put out a hype video for himself saying his deal with ESPN is over and ‘somebody gotta pay the piper'.

Hour 1 Jerry is in for Boomer today so it's Gio & Jerry. The Nets have fired Jacque Vaughn so you can add him to the list of NY sports coaches that have been let go recently. We talked about the worst NY hires and came up with Adam Gase and Mickey Callaway. Gio put David Fizdale on that list as well. We could get two new football coaches and a new Yankees manager if things don't go well this upcoming season. C-Lo is here for his first update but first we talked about him co-hosting with BT yesterday, filling in for Sal. Gio said that Kevin Clancy of Barstool will be filling in for Boomer on Thursday morning. Juan Soto met the media and said it's going to be ‘electric'. Luke Voit talked about the potential of being a DH with the Mets. Anthony Rendon said baseball is a job but it's not his highest priority. Antonio Pierce thinks he has the formula to beat the Chiefs, the ‘Patrick Mahomes Rules'. Rick Pitino said he wasn't ripping anybody when he criticized his team on Sunday. In the final segment of the hour, Jason Kelce was a guest on Shaq's podcast. He told Kelce to retire and spend time with his wife and kids because he screwed up in the past. It made both Gio and Jerry sad to hear Shaq sounding so lonely. Jerry said you better have a plan when you retire or you are going to struggle. Ryan Clark put out a hype video for himself saying his deal with ESPN is over and ‘somebody gotta pay the piper'.  Hour 2 We continued talking about Ryan Clark, whose contract is up at ESPN, and he put out a hype video for his broadcasting career. He wants to work less in his next job, but get paid more. We also wondered what recently retired NFL players would want to do a 4-hour radio show, 5 days a week like Boomer. These guys have all made way too much money in their careers. C-Lo is here for an update, but first Gio has a story about a black hole that is scaring him. Juan Soto talked about his expectations for this ‘electric' Yankees season. A caller said he's ‘a moon chaser', and is going to Mexico to see some sort of moon eclipse. He also is a micro-doser and a gynecologist. There was a brawl in the Texas A&M-Comm vs Incarnate Word basketball game. Also, Tyrese Haliburton has 2 completely different voices within the same conversation. In the final segment of the hour, a caller said his girlfriend's grandmother died and his girlfriend thought the bird was a sign from heaven. He used Jerry's line, ‘it's a bird you moron' and is now in the doghouse so to speak.  Hour 3 Anthony Rendon met the media yesterday and he said that baseball isn't really a top priority to him these days now that he has a family. Does he deserve credit for his honesty? It's definitely turning the fans off since he is making a ton of money and he only plays like 50 games a year. Gio thinks a lot of athletes feel like Rendon. It's just a job and a paycheck to them. Golf analyst Amanda Balionis wasn't wearing her wedding ring at the Genesis Invitational and a lot of online speculation began. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with Juan Soto commenting on whether the Yankees have enough to win the World Series. Why is Gio so fascinated with Peter Schwartz? Chris McMonigle had a slip of the tongue and mentioned the Yankees when talking about hockey. Tiki Barber said Shaun Morash is ‘not a real Giant fan'. We also talked about how terrible Evan Roberts looks. In the final segment of the hour, Beyonce has a new song and it's country. We also talked more about Pete Alonso's upcoming free agency.  Hour 4 We played a clip from Evan and Tiki where they were talking about the Matt Martin fight in the Rangers game. Gio talked about fearing guys coming to the house to date his daughter. We took calls from guys who have daughters and they talked to us about how to stay close to them as they get older. C-Lo returns for his final update of the day but first we play John Mayer's ‘Daughters'. C-Lo has audio from Juan Soto and Anthony Rizzo. Aaron Boone talked about Soto reminding him of Barry Bonds. He also commented on Gleyber Torres' mustache. Travis Kelce spent $13K on Taylor Swift for Valentine's Day. The Moment of The Day involves a moon chasing, micro-dosing gynecologist. In the final segment of the show, Gio has been catching up on Love Is Blind. One of the women claimed she looked like Meghan Fox. She doesn't, so the internet went all in on her. Evan attacked ‘fat Rangers fans'.

Add Jacque Vaughn to the long list of recent NY sports coaches to get the boot.

On Monday, Darvin Ham was introduced to the LA media as head coach. On Tuesday, he began shaping his staff. Most notable were the names of the guys from last year's staff he let go - David Fizdale, Mike Penberthy, John Lucas III - and one of the two guys he kept. Phil Handy is widely considered among the best assistant coaching in the NBA, a guy many believe should be getting more shine for head jobs. Handy, who worked with Ham on Mike Brown's Lakers staff a decade ago and has a deep relationship with LeBron James, isn't going anywhere. He, along with Quinton Crawford, will be part of next year's group as well. It's another piece of good news, and an indication that Ham will be able to make a strong pitch to those coaches he wants to see join his staff, including some who might be under contract in other cities. How much does it matter that he find a guy with head coaching experience? What about the other things Ham emphasized? Like defense? Accountability? Sacrifice? Particularly on the defensive side of things, is he capable of delivering if Rob Pelinka doesn't deliver a better roster? Finally, Pelinka says the Lakers lacked toughness last year, and it's hard to argue. But why? How much of that was on Vogel, and how much can be addressed by changing coaches?

On Monday, Darvin Ham was introduced to the LA media as head coach. On Tuesday, he began shaping his staff. Most notable were the names of the guys from last year's staff he let go - David Fizdale, Mike Penberthy, John Lucas III - and one of the two guys he kept. Phil Handy is widely considered among the best assistant coaching in the NBA, a guy many believe should be getting more shine for head jobs.Handy, who worked with Ham on Mike Brown's Lakers staff a decade ago and has a deep relationship with LeBron James, isn't going anywhere. He, along with Quinton Crawford, will be part of next year's group as well. It's another piece of good news, and an indication that Ham will be able to make a strong pitch to those coaches he wants to see join his staff, including some who might be under contract in other cities.How much does it matter that he find a guy with head coaching experience?What about the other things Ham emphasized? Like defense? Accountability? Sacrifice? Particularly on the defensive side of things, is he capable of delivering if Rob Pelinka doesn't deliver a better roster?Finally, Pelinka says the Lakers lacked toughness last year, and it's hard to argue. But why? How much of that was on Vogel, and how much can be addressed by changing coaches?HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: Darvin Ham is making moves, letting three members of last year's staff go... but keeping Phil Handy.SEGMENT 2: What kind of staff is Ham going to assemble?

After the Lakers' tough loss to Phoenix on Tuesday, one of many moments of a continually tough season, interim head coach David Fizdale explained how LeBron James and Frank Vogel are working in concert to help the team stay patient, but also focused and accountable. Beyond this being good to hear from a process standpoint, it was also nice to hear just as verification of the two on the same page, given the rumors flying around that Vogel is coaching for his job. Frankly, you know things are getting weird when Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium was asked on Pat McAfee's show about internet chatter that LeBron may ask for a trade. A very far-fetched prospect indeed, but dumb rumors like this are only happening because the team is stuck at .500, Anthony Davis is hurt, LeBron ain't getting any younger, etc. As such, it's important for LeBron and Vogel to be unified.Meanwhile, should Trevor Ariza, who played well against the Suns, get moved into the starting lineup, presumably for Talen Horton-Tucker? How can his minutes, and the minutes of his fellow oldies, be kept down, whether starting or coming off the bench?And finally, Thursday's game against the Spurs marks the final game inside Staples Center, heretofore (or until the next naming rights deal) known as Crypto.Com Arena. A lot of fans don't like this change. Are they making something out of nothing? Or is the name of the building meaningfully connected to what's happened there?Hosts: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySegment 1: The Kamenetzkys discuss chatter that LeBron would want to be traded, plus his relationship with Frank VogelSegment 2: Should the Lakers consider starting Trevor Ariza, or just taking Talen Horton-Tucker out of that lineup?Segment 3: A lot of fans are unhappy about Staples Center getting a new name. Brian doesn't get it. Andy does.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Lakers HC Frank Vogel Enters COVID Protocols; David Fizdale to Coach vs. Bulls The Los Angeles Lakers will be without head coach Frank Vogel for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Vogel was placed in the league's health and safety protocols ahead of the contest. That means David Fizdale will be the acting head coach. Fizdale has head coaching experience from his time with the Memphis Grizzlies and New York Knicks. Sunday's game between the Lakers and the Bulls pits two of the teams that have made many of the league's headlines of late when it comes to the health and safety protocols against each other. L.A. has also missed assistant coach Phil Handy the last two games because of the health and safety protocols. In addition to Vogel, 48, Lakers swingman Kent Bazemore also entered the protocols Sunday. Bazemore joins teammates Avery Bradley, Talen Horton-Tucker, Dwight Howard, Malik Monk, Kendrick Nunn and Austin Reaves in the league's health and safety protocols. The Lakers are also without Anthony Davis, who will miss about four weeks with an MCL sprain in his left knee. Russell Westbrook was in protocols but was ruled clear and available prior to Friday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. LeBron James was also in protocols earlier this month, but Charania reported the initial positive test was inconclusive and he was cleared with multiple negative ones. So Z Nation, what did you think about the Lakers troubles as of late??? Comments down below

The Lakers have hit another big obstacle in their quest to, well, look something like the team everyone expected them to be when the season began. Anthony Davis is out at least a month. So while there are a bunch of short term questions the Lakers are facing, there are serious long term ones around Davis, as well. As in, do his problems this season shake the confidence he can be "the man" once LeBron James is ready to retire? Or reaches a point in his career where he's not capable of carrying a team?It's not that Davis is wrecked, or isn't an elite player. But the list of guys who can unquestionably be the best player on a championship team is short, and the presumption was that Davis is on it. Certainly it seemed he was there after the 2020 title. And that Davis would continue to ascend. Now, though? Not so sure.It's about health, it's about dominance. And the answer to the question has a big impact on the team's future, and how they handle the post-LeBron era.Plus...Nobody knows quite how long Frank Vogel will be out, thanks to the league's Covid-19 protocols. But for however long it is, people are going to be paying incredibly close attention to the work of David Fizdale, who is on the sidelines while Vogel is sidelined and is presumably the guy who would replace him should Vogel get fired. LET THE SPECULATION BEGIN!HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: Between his vaguely disappointing play to the run of injuries, how much doubt should the Lakers and Lakers fans have in an AD-Centric future?SEGMENT 2: More on A.D.. How many guys are capable of being the unquestioned best player on a championship team? Is he one of those dudes? What happens if he's not?SEGMENT 3: Fizdale and Vogel. Vogel and Fizdale. So much scrutiny while Vogel is out...Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

With all the hoopla and shiny objects providing constant distractions during trade SZN and free agency SZN, it became easy to forget the Lakers still haven't worked out an extension for head coach Frank Vogel. Given that he led the team to a title two seasons ago... what's up with that? The Kamenetzkys discuss a recent article from The Athletic's Bill Oram detailing the coach's current lame duck status, then offer some thoughts on the potential reasons for the delay. Obviously, it could be nothing more than delayed housekeeping, with other issues (the Russell Westbrook trade, filling out a new roster) reasonably taking a higher priority. But is this possibly indicative of a lacking commitment to Vogel? After all, he wasn't even close to the team's first choice during the hiring search, and if you're into dot connecting and narrative following, new lead assistant coach David Fizdale is a respected, experienced presence with a close relationship to LeBron James. There's also questions of money, the front office's worldview on coaching in general, etc.Could be something. Could be nothing. But the longer Vogel remains in a contract year, particularly during the actual season, the more speculation will run rampant. And given all the complications of a new, potentially awkwardly matched big three and a supporting cast fully turned over, that's not an ideal scenario.Plus, the center rotation appears theoretically settled with Marc Gasol, Dwight Howard and Anthony Davis likely playing the bulk of important minutes at the five. But are the Lakers fully committed to keeping Gasol?Hosts: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: The Kamenetzkys discuss Vogel remaining in a contract year, which strikes them as surprising and curious.SEGMENT 2: More on Vogel's situation. Is it possible the Lakers are having second thoughts about a commitment?SEGMENT 3: What will the center rotation look like?Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

There was a great deal of speculation around how the Lakers would go about filling Jason Kidd's spot on Frank Vogel's coaching staff. Would it be an offense-first mind? A former head coach? A F.O.L. (Friend of LeBron)? Well, LA got a little bit from each of those categories, hiring former Heat assistant/Grizzlies/Knicks head coach David Fizdale. What does it mean for the staff? Is he a good fit?Meanwhile, LeBron James is done with Olympic basketball, says USA Basketball director Jerry Colangelo. No real surprise there, given his age and mileage, but still kind of amazing it could even be a possibility. Lakers fans are probably happy about it (and that Anthony Davis is sitting Tokyo out, too). Do fans of contending teams even want their stars in the Olympics, anymore?Finally, the Blazers had a disastrous press conference this week to introduce new head coach Chauncey Billups. Why were people upset, and why did the Blazers seem so unprepared to meet the moment?HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: The Lakers hire David Fizdale. What does he bring to the staff? How important is his connection to LeBron?SEGMENT 2: More Fiz. Is he the offensive mind the Lakers need? He's certainly not a dinosaur on that end. Plus, the Olympics. No LeBron, no AD... and as a Laker fan, would you even want your stars playing in that tournament?SEGMENT 3: How the hell did the Blazers screw up so badly, and why it matters.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Sam Presti could also hire from within by picking Mark Daigneault, or Mo Cheeks. Would Presti go with a retread hire like David Fizdale or Nate McMillian?
