Pope, a long-suffering Cowboys fan, unloads on Jerry Jones for sending a "generational talent" to the Green Bay Packers. He even compares the feeling to when Dallas lost Luka Dončić—yeah, it gets pretty heated.The guys switch gears to recap a wild opening weekend of college football, getting into Arch Manning's shaky debut for Texas, Alabama looking soft and getting shoved around by Florida State, and whether powerhouses like Notre Dame should be worried after a rough start. Plus, you'll get the crew's weekly betting picks with the "Plaxico Locks" for the NFL and their brand new college football segment, "Matier Matters". Stick around to find out who gets called out in "Punchable Face of the Week" and who gets praised in the "Lasso of the Week". It's a packed show!

Tag 2 der EuroBasket und schon die erste kleine Überraschung: Georgien schlägt zum Auftakt direkt den amtierenden Europameister Spanien. Außerdem wird klar: Luka Dončić ist zwar ein Basketball-Magier, aber selbst er kann Slowenien nicht im Alleingang durch diese Gruppe zaubern.

Join Robert Horry in Episode 105 of the Friday Bonus Show as he dives into random questions, listener corrections, and hot basketball topics. The episode discusses notable NBA draft classes, specifically 1992, 2017, and 2018, and the impact of players like Shaquille O'Neal, Jason Tatum, and Luka Dončić on the league. The hosts debate which trio from three different NBA generations would be the ultimate pick - Jordan, Magic, Bird; Kobe, Duncan, Nowitzki; or LeBron, Durant, Curry. The show also touches on KD's potential to catch LeBron's all-time scoring record and the possibility of Denver retiring both Carmelo Anthony’s and Nikola Jokić's number 15 jerseys.   00:00 Introduction and Show Kickoff 00:38 Random Questions and Notes 01:23 1992 NBA Draft Class Discussion 01:57 Impactful Recent Draft Classes 05:24 Notes and Corrections 07:19 Retiring Jersey Numbers Debate 09:00 Can Kevin Durant Catch LeBron's Scoring Record? 14:42 NBA Generational Trio Debate 17:32 Ranking Current NBA Players

We kick off this Friday with some car talk as Tobin and Leroy are flabbergasted to learn Brittney has no idea how to put air in her tires. The crew looks ahead to the Dolphins' preseason matchup against the Jaguars, and Skylar Thompson once again delivers in preseason — could the Steelers keep him? We hear from Ollie Gordon at practice, and with Malik Beasley cleared of his prop betting allegations, Tobin is begging to know when Terry Rozier will get the same treatment. In Hour Tua, the man himself shares how Tyreek Hill's absence in practice has helped him build chemistry with other receivers — sparking a heated debate between Tobin and Leroy on how this could impact Tyreek's season. Meanwhile, Jaxon Dart was spotted feeding Jameis Winston a classic "W" on the sideline, which sends the gang spiraling into QB room dynamics: where does Russell Wilson even fit in with the Giants' crew? And who's getting cut once camp ends? We try to tickle Leroy's fancy as we do every Friday — but the moment's hijacked when Tobin completely whiffs on a perfect layup joke from Leroy. Tobin hits full JOVIC MODE after the Heat forward's dominant performance overseas, outshining Luka Dončić and leaving Tobin desperate for Leroy and Brittney to give the man his flowers. We also hear from Aaron Brewer who calls out the Bears' “fake physicality” at joint practice, and then it's over to Jerry Jones as contract talks with Micah Parsons continue to stir the pot. In the final hour, Shedeur Sanders clears the air on the so-called “beef” with Dillon Gabriel, and the crew goes off on the Cracker Barrel rebrand — seriously, who asked for that?! We wrap with one last Dolphins training camp update before game day, then bring the fire with our favorite Friday closer: You're Dead to Me. Tobin takes aim at Heat fans who keep disrespecting Jovic, Leroy has strong words for college football, and Brittney must get in her weekly F1 rant.

“Can you tell when something is written by a human—or are we all just reading AI now?”That's the question that kicks off a wildly entertaining and thought-provoking segment of The Ben and Skin Show. In this episode, the gang dives headfirst into the blurred lines between human creativity and artificial intelligence. Skin shares his admiration for Dallas writer Sarah Hepola and her deeply human profile of Dude Perfect, contrasting it with the uncanny weirdness of AI-generated content—like the now-infamous Men's Health article that may have confused Luka Dončić with Donte DiVincenzo. Ben recounts a surreal moment at Dude Perfect's new mega-office, where a family recognized him as the guy who wrote their daughter's favorite song. “Is that my most listened-to song ever?” he wonders. Meanwhile, Skin's latest obsession—matcha—sparks a hilarious debate about taste, caffeine crashes, and whether drinking green powder makes you a “performative male.”

"Is this the greatest day in the history of Men's Health magazine?"That's the question that kicks off this hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt episode of The Ben and Skin Show, where hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive into the viral Luka Dončić Men's Health cover story—and all the chaos, speculation, and protein-packed drama that came with it.From Luka's alleged 250 grams of protein per day (“That is going to be a farty farty environment”) to the possibility that half the article was written by AI, the crew breaks down the brilliance of this PR masterpiece.

On this episode of the Unsupervised Learning podcast, Razib welcomes back Ethan Strauss, a writer who has covered sports and culture for the past decade, including in the book The Victory Machine: The Making and Unmaking of the Warriors Dynasty. More recently his writing is to be found at his Substack, House of Strauss, which is notable for offering a candid take on the cross-pollination between broader culture and athletics, notably in the piece Nike's End of Men: Why Nike no longer wants us to Be Like Mike. Strauss and Razib first discuss professional sports and the different representation of various nationalities. Strauss recounts the generational attempt by the NBA to get Chinese representation to gin up a lucrative rivalry, and how it sputtered due to the reality that 1.4 billion Han Chinese seem to have less basketball talent than small nations like Croatia. Razib also asks about how and why baseball is popular in parts of Latin America and East Asia, and why there are so many more Dominicans in MLB than Mexicans. Strauss says differences between populations are so obvious in sports there's no need for complex social explanations. Then they explore the role of DEI in professional sports, and especially the NBA, and how it might be impacting decisions in the league. They recall the years around 2020, when a drive for minority representation, and in particular of blacks, was prevalent across the corporate world, and how thatimpacted professional sports. Strauss then offers his theory for why the Dallas Mavericks inexplicably traded away a potentially generational talent, Luka Dončić, and Mark Cuban's role in the choice. Finally, he highlights the racism that Jeremy Lin, one of the few Asian American stars in the 2010's, faced from fellow players.

What if the Lakers are quietly planning a rebuild around Luka Dončić? In this absolutely unmissable episode of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray—dive headfirst into the swirling NBA rumor mill with a mix of sharp insight, hilarious speculation, and the kind of off-the-wall tangents that only this show can deliver.

Tobin kicks off Hour 3 fired up after spotting Bam Adebayo and Luka Dončić getting chummy together on vacation in Greece. Convinced this is the beginning of something big, he passionately yells at Pat Riley to “make it happen!” — bringing Luka to Miami. Leroy and Brittney, however, are quick to bring him back to Earth, calling him completely delusional. Next up, the guys react to AJ Greer taking the Stanley Cup back to his tiny hometown in Canada. With the Cup now on its victory tour, they debate who we should really be worried about bringing the Cup to some place wild next. Then it's time for Tobin to reach into the Mixed Bag: Derrick Lewis delivers a classic post-fight message for his wife Erik Spoelstra gets emotional about Duncan Robinson's departure And Spo makes it clear he's not buying into the “Eastern Conference is wide open” narrative — not for one second. Another hour packed with chaos, laughs, and just the right amount of delusion.

BT and Sal ignite a heated debate about the Knicks' head coaching search, with Jason Kidd at the center. While reports suggest Kidd views the Knicks as a "dream job," BT and Sal are highly skeptical of his character, calling him "slippery" and predicting a disastrous clash with Knicks management. They discuss the perceived power dynamic Kidd seeks, the idea of him using the Knicks for leverage, and whether the allure of New York and an "easier" Eastern Conference path outweighs the stability of his current situation in Dallas, especially after the contentious departure of Luka Dončić from the Mavericks.

Recent champions have followed a recent formula of having an elite offensive player flanked by a high level defensive roster — a trend the Thunder are trying to continue. Pete and Darius discuss how the Luka Dončić led Lakers can try to follow this same path and what that means for the rest of the current roster and who to target this offseason.

How would you evaluate Austin Reaves outside of the context of the roster, his contract, or even what his future fit might be next to Luka Dončić? How would you look at his growth as a player, his individual strengths and weaknesses, and what he needs to improve on? What about the schemes that fit him best on both sides of the ball? Pete and Darius answer these questions and more in their discussion of what they've seen from Reaves over the last several seasons and how he played this past year.  Support Pete here: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/lakerfilmroom Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/lakerfilmroom Pete's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LakerFilmRoom Pete's Playback: https://www.playback.tv/lakerfilmroom For Feedback or Questions: lakerfilmroom@gmail.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Pete and Darius discuss how the Lakers go about building around Luka Dončić can't just about finding players who can compensate for the things he doesn't do as well, but instead should be about finding players who build on all the ways that he is already great in order to magnify those traits and lift the entire team.  Support Pete here: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/lakerfilmroom Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/lakerfilmroom Pete's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LakerFilmRoom Pete's Playback: https://www.playback.tv/lakerfilmroom For Feedback or Questions: lakerfilmroom@gmail.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
