"I have a pact with a friend. If we both live until 90, we're gonna do heroine."Last night, the silliest thing in sports took place: the NFL schedule release. Which social media team nailed their release video? The whole gang is here to tell us, while Tony tells us which games on the schedule he is most excited for. Plus, Myles Turner of the Milwaukee Bucks took some shots at Doc Rivers and Giannis Antetokounmpo on the latest episode of his podcast with Breanna Stewart.

Jason returns to days of yesteryear as the lone ranger. Jason has had enough of the fake agenda that has taken over the sports world. Deion Sanders claiming his son Shedeur Sanders endured hell last season; Stephen A. Smith having the audacity to speak about another manipulating the narrative when he has manufactured his backstory; Azzi Fudd drafted first over Olivia Miles … come on, man, we know why. Just say it! We learn that Giannis is a diva after all and Doc Rivers was, in fact, part of the problem. How does this all tie into ChudTheBuilder? Jason, exhausted with an abundance of fraudulence, bluntly proclaims enough of the fake and gay lies smothering the sports world, while going Han Solo — slicing and dicing the evil empire. ​​Today's Sponsors: Patriot Mobile Patriot Mobile isn't just a wireless provider.

Sports Happened: Red Sox drop another series after Kyle Schwarber goes deep in finale. Can we admit this team is not as good as we initially thought? We react to the Patriots' schedule release. Can they make it back to the playoffs in 2026? Red Sox analyst JP Ricciardi thinks the Red Sox need to realize who they are in 2026, and try to cater their game plan more towards small ball and base stealing. Do we like the idea of the NFL scheduling games on every day of the week? Has Tom Brady lost the Patriots fanbase? Ted recalls when Tom Brady first took over for an injured Drew Bledsoe. Myles Turner said Doc Rivers let Giannis and the Bucks get away with just about anything while he was the Head Coach. Mike Florio discusses how the Patriots may be able to put an end to the Vrabel/Russini scandal before the season begins. Can the Red Sox rebound after another series loss? // Take Grenades // Crossover with Arcand //

The first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs delivered three Game 7 matchups in the Eastern Conference — and now it’s time to talk about the teams going home. The Boston Celtics blew a 3–1 series lead against the Philadelphia 76ers. Who deserves the blame for the collapse? The Orlando Magic also lost after leading 3–1, with many pointing to another Doc Rivers playoff disaster. And while the Toronto Raptors weren’t expected to advance, they showed enough talent to raise questions about what moves they should make this offseason. We break down all three eliminations, what went wrong, and where these franchises go from here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Format Podcast breaks down the escalating podcast beef between Austin Rivers and Draymond Green. We unpack Draymond's shots at Rivers' career, his comments about Doc Rivers “bailing him out” with that Clippers contract, and Rivers firing back about Draymond's game and disrespect.

Ike, Spike, and Alex rank the most polarizing figures from the Joel Embiid era, delivering harsh critiques of J.J. Redick, Doc Rivers, and Ben Simmons.

The Magic won a riveting roller coaster of a Game 4 and are up 3-1 in their first round series. We head to Detroit for Wednesday's Game 5. If you don't know about the 2003 Pistons-Magic series, read up on it. Look up the box scores on Basketball Reference. I don't want a single Magic fan thinking about the possibility of a second round for us until we lock up a fourth victory in this current series. If I see any posting online from a Magic fan - be it social media, Reddit, RealGM - I'm downvoting you and flagging it for spam. Some of the less experienced fans don't know better, but us longer term fans do. The terrible part about the aftermath of 2003 wasn't just it was the beginning of the end of Doc Rivers and then Tracy McGrady in Orlando. But that we had not won a playoff series since 1996, and we'd have to wait until 2008 against the Raptors to end that drought. We have not won a playoff series since 2010. This is the longest drought in franchise history. Focus on ending that drought now in 2026 and close this thing out before you look beyond the horizon. All of that and more! #LetsGoMagic Warning: Adult Language

Bomani Jones is joined by Tom Haberstroh to break down the chaos surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo, Doc Rivers, and the Milwaukee Bucks. They dig into whether Giannis really wants out, why the Bucks' situation feels so broken, and what a trade could mean for the rest of the league. Then they shift to the Western Conference, the rise of Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs, and whether the NBA is heading back toward an era defined by rivalries instead of parity.  They close by breaking down UNC hiring Mike Malone and whether it is the start of a paradigm shift in college basketball.
