3 weeks until the NBA Draft! Today, we have some new reports about two prospects the Sixers could consider taking with the 3rd overall pick over Ace Bailey & VJ Edgecombe. Smoke screen or actual substance? RB gives his overall breakdown for Khaman Maluach and Tre Johnson, discussing whether or not either of these players would be the correct choice with the pick. In other news, conflicting reports on Ace Bailey have some GMs wondering whether he is actually going to live up to the hype. Lastly, Myles Turner drops a bombshell quote on the new era of team-building that is forming right before our eyes.

From the front lines of the service drive to the corner office, they explore the importance of putting the right people in the right seats, leading with empathy, and creating spaces where people genuinely want to show up.You'll hear raw stories, real solutions, and a few truth bombs—like why "fake happy" can do more damage than silence, how leadership drives retention, and how something as small as a balloon on your desk can speak louder than a bonus check.This episode is a must-listen for GMs, service managers, advisors, techs—and anyone who's ever asked, "Am I in the right seat?"

New reports today signal that the Sixers could get active in trade discussions for stars like Kevin Durant & Lauri Markkanen this offseason. Would the Sixers be willing to trade away their 3rd overall pick to bring back more of a win-now piece? Or should they focus on drafting a player that can develop as part of the future? In other news, some GMs around the league are a bit concerned about Ace Bailey after his press conferences at the combine. Is there room for concern? Lastly, a couple new names are emerging as potential selections for the Sixers with the 3rd pick if they decide to keep it.

There are lots of sources you can go to for comprehensive NFL Draft analysis, but there's only one Mike Mayock. The suburban Philadelphia native and The Haverford School graduate played a few years in the league after a strong stint at Boston College, but his biggest claim to fame is indisputably as a draft expert. Between his seemingly endless familiarity with prospects and an ability to articulate their fits with NFL teams, Mayock has earned a reputation as a go-to draft guru. So, that's who The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane turned to when he wanted to go in-depth on the Eagles' 2025 draft picks. From the move up to nab Alabama's Jihaad Campbell to rumblings that other general managers were reluctant to do deals with Howie Roseman, Mayock examines the Eagles' rookies with two questions in mind: do they have the potential to positively impact the franchise's title defense, and can they make up for talent lost earlier in the offseason? 00:00 Tackling the Eagles' moves in the 2025 NFL Draft with analyst Mike Mayock 04:03 First-round pick Jihaad Campbell: where to play him and injury concerns 12:28 Second-round selection Andrew Mukuba: does size really matter? 19:45 Don't sleep on the third-day prospects 26:05 What's been Howie Roseman's secret to drafting quality starters in recent years? 33:47 Rumor or real life: Are other GMs avoiding trades with Roseman? unCovering the Birds is a production of The Philadelphia Inquirer and KYW Newsradio Original Podcasts. Look for new episodes throughout the offseason.

Chris and Ryan are FINALLY back to talk about the state of the Kings (Coaching, GMs and roster), and the state of the 49ers following a big draft. They also cover some Sac State info and one big NFL draft storyline. 

What is the future for George Pickens in Pittsburgh? Some insiders still believe the Steelers will move on from their receiver. What is the relationship like right now between the team and player? We pointed out the social media posts of Pickens working out from the Steelers account. NFL insider James Palmer from Underdog Sports joined the show. James believes the Steelers relationship with George Pickens is near the tipping point and thinks there are a few factors pointing to that. He doesn't rule out Pickens playing for the team in 2025 and brought up the comp pick they could get in return. James talked about the league-wide love for Mike Tomlin and if he's the only one that can make things work with Pickens. James said executives and GMs around the league believe Aaron Rodgers will be a Steeler before we get to the regular season. James doesn't think there is a universal consensus on what Rodgers can do at 41-years-old. James, as a fellow Buckeye, believes the Steelers got a steal with Will Howard after the back-half of last season. James described an odd QB draft that we witnessed a couple weeks ago.

In this episode, the RPGBOT.Podcast crew bravely (and foolishly) opens the first rusted gate into Tomb of Horrors, one of the deadliest and most legendary modules in tabletop RPG history. Originally written by Gary Gygax to humble overconfident players and their min-maxed murderhobos, the Tomb has become a rite of passage for generations of adventurers who thought they were smart. They weren't. The hosts dive into the legacy, design philosophy, and gameplay experience of Tomb of Horrors, from its origins in early tournament play to the sadistic joy it brings DMs and the crushing despair it brings players. They analyze why this deathtrap dungeon still matters today, how to survive it (hint: you won't), and what modern lessons GMs can learn from its brutal design. Spoiler alert: There are puzzles. There are traps. There is no mercy. The Origins of the Tomb Written by Gary Gygax in 1975 for tournament play at Origins I. Designed specifically to kill off characters run by smug powergamers. Later published in 1978 as S1: Tomb of Horrors, and updated across editions including 3E, 4E, 5E (Tales from the Yawning Portal), and even in Ready Player One. The Philosophy of Pain Tomb of Horrors isn't about combat—it's about punishing overconfidence. Encourages player skill over character sheet. You can't punch your way through this dungeon. A brutal mix of riddles, false doors, lethal traps, and one very smug demilich. Theater of Brutality Gygax's use of boxed text and riddles set a template for narrative traps. The party isn't just punished physically, but psychologically. “Congratulations, you poked the wrong wall and died instantly.” Puzzle Madness The module requires deep logic puzzles and metagame thinking. Hosts discuss how this creates a blend of escape room and psychological horror more than traditional dungeon crawling. Modern Takeaways How GMs can use elements of the Tomb to design clever traps and tests without just steamrolling players. Emphasizing consequence and caution in modern storytelling. How to prep your players for a game that isn't fair—and was never meant to be. Warning for Players If you're playing in a Tomb of Horrors game and haven't read it: TURN BACK NOW. The spoilers are real, the traps are real, and the deaths are personal. Spoiler Warning: This episode contains full spoilers for Tomb of Horrors.

Leave your commentWhat if your next sales hire wasn't human?In this episode of Mastering Modern Selling, Isabella Bedoya, Co-CEO of Infinite AI, shares how sales teams are evolving by bringing AI “employees” into the mix. We go beyond the hype to explore practical use cases, ethical concerns, and the new skills sales pros must master to stay competitive in this AI-enabled landscape.Whether you're curious, cautious, or already experimenting with AI, this episode will help you think more strategically about the future of your sales team.1. AI Employees Are Not Just Chatbots Isabella defines AI employees as task-performing agents embedded in workflows, not just tools you prompt, but systems that take action automatically across SMS, email, calls, and CRM. Think of them as digital team members handling your follow-ups, reactivations, and more.2. Sales Reps Won't Be Replaced, But They Will Be Repositioned AI handles the mundane and repetitive. Human reps move into strategist roles managing AI workflows, handling complex objections, and owning the emotional intelligence required to close.3. Scaling Outreach Without Scaling Headcount Instead of hiring more SDRs or BDRs, companies are using AI to nurture leads, qualify opportunities, and schedule demos. It's not theory, it's happening now, and Isabella walks us through real-world use cases like post-trade-show follow-ups and digital sales assistants.4. Trust Isn't Lost, It's Rebuilt Through Value AI can build trust when it delivers consistently valuable, fast responses. If it's trained well, it may outperform junior reps. Still, Isabella emphasizes that closing deals and earning emotional buy-in remains a human function for now.5. New Role of the Seller: Coach, Manager, Strategist Sales pros will soon manage a team of AI agents, much like GMs in “Moneyball.” The skills to build prompts, tweak workflows, and analyze data will be key differentiators. Coaching AI and being coached by it will become a real scenario in sales teams.The rise of AI employees in sales isn't about replacing talent, it's about redeploying it. As Isabella says, the reps who win will be the ones who embrace these tools, build systems, and create more space for the kind of selling only humans can do.Sales isn't going away. It's getting smarter. Don't miss out—your next big idea could be just one episode away!

The Shedeur Sanders story had a lot of different angles this weekend. He ended up going all the way in the fifth round to the Browns. That was quite a statement from the league and from GMs. Boomer said Sanders ‘torpedo'd himself' with bad meetings and Deion didn't help saying he would get him to a team he wanted him to be on. He is very high on himself which teams saw as off putting.

Also, a couple of Ole Miss students prank called Shedeur during the draft to make him think he'd been selected.16:25 - Bills GM Brandon Beane had some choice words for a couple hosts on WGR 550 in Buffalo. Honestly, we wish more GMs were like this. Give us a call and let us know what you think about us, Paton and Payton! After that, the Jaguars wunderkind GM gives Moser the creeps.34:09 - In Game 4 vs the Clippers, the Nuggets played the best 3 quarters of basketball we've seen in ages. They were stellar both defensively and offensively. Then it all came crashing down in the 4Q.

Send us a textShedeur Sanders dropping out of the first three rounds of the NFL Draft isn't about talent — it's personal. In this episode, we break down how NFL owners, GMs, and coaches — who claim they'll do anything to win — decided this was the player they wanted to make an example of.We ask the real questions:    •    Why wasn't the Manning, Luck, Burrow, or Mayfield family treated the same way?    •    Since when is selling yourself as a starter a crime?    •    Why is NIL success being twisted into “not loving football”?    •    How is a player with 6 different offensive coordinators, a 5-to-1 TD-INT ratio, and 152 sacks still standing… being called anything but tough and poised?Shedeur Sanders turned around Jackson State. He helped resurrect a 1–11 Colorado program. He's not just confident — he's earned it. The draft has never been about how great you are. It's always been about how low they can take you.This isn't about football.It's about jealousy.It's about bias.It's about punishing the Sanders family for not playing the game the “right” way.Shedeur has the poise, the swag, and the leadership to be the Steve Nash of an NFL offense — if only someone has the vision to get out of their own way.

Nick Wright weighs in on the rock fight between the Rockets and Warriors in the NBA Playoffs, and whether or not he is sticking with Houston in the series. Then, Nick and Damonza discuss the Celtics grit and how concerning their injuries are. After, they preview game 3s between the Nuggets and Clippers and Knicks and Pistons. Later, Nick gives his final NFL Draft predictions and receives calls from GMs across the league. Finally, as always, Nick and Damonza answer your questions. #VolumeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We close out our Mock Draft Series by taking everything we've learned from all of our guest GMs and put it all into one FINAL predictive #Bucs 7-Round Mock Draft!

Ep. 870 – It's become an annual spring tradition: the pre-draft press conference. GMs, and often head coaches, meet with the media and answer questions ahead of the NFL Draft. A lot of words are spoken, but not a lot is said. To put it another way, no one is going to tip their hand or show their cards. Everything is kept very close to the vest. (Have we used enough idioms?!) Still, that doesn't stop people, including Craig Grialou and Dani Sureck, from trying to read between the lines. Will Monti Ossenfort stick-and-pick at 16? Trade down? Trade up? All options appear to be on the table. All positions, or most positions, seem to be on the table with that first-round selection regardless of what the team has done in free agency. In other words, stay tuned.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot open Episode 328 with some REO Speedwagon, a Morgan Wallen SNL debacle, and—sadly—no area code trivia. But it's all prelude to a full-on Mariners therapy session, as Mitch wonders why Gino Suárez and Teoscar Hernández are thriving elsewhere while the M's bats look like they're still in spring training. He also recalls a moment in a locker room with George Foreman that changed how he views leadership. First up: it's the Mariners No-Table with Brady Farkas (SI Now, Refuse to Lose Pod) and Joe Doyle (Over Slot). The crew breaks down the split with the A's, early warning signs with Julio, what Dan Wilson got wrong as manager, and whether this offense truly has enough talent to support the elite rotation. Then Danny Kelly of The Ringer joins to explain why all the top mock drafts have Seattle passing on offensive linemen at pick 18—and why fans might want to prepare for a linebacker, receiver, or safety instead. He also breaks down how the Seahawks could approach the quarterback class on Day 2. Finally, Jason La Canfora weighs in on the Seahawks' offseason: Is Sam Darnold a long-term solution or just Geno 2.0? Why does John Schneider refuse to spend on O-linemen? And which position group is so deep this year, every team could draft one?   GUESTS   • Mariners No-Table | Joe Doyle (Over Slot) & Brady Farkas (SI Now) • Danny Kelly | NFL Draft Analyst, The Ringer • Jason La Canfora | NFL Insider, Washington Post   TABLE OF CONTENTS   1:00 | Mitch & Hotshot: Morgan Wallen SNL chaos, no area code trivia, REO Speedwagon deep cuts 6:35 | Mariners Misery, Pt.
