We finish by debating Deshaun Watson versus Kirk Cousins for the Jets, celebrating Rick Pitino's record-breaking win, and catching Boomer reading Bad Bunny lyrics. It's a full show.

Ryen Russillo's Instagram story raised eyebrows for featuring bare breasts. We discuss Giannis' new investment in Kalshi and the rise of prediction markets. Boomer and Jerry disagree on Mets' roster improvements. All the highlights from the weekend, featuring Kevin Harlan's best calls, Joe Benigno's confusion over Bad Bunny, and a massive Knicks victory. We wrap up the hour with news that the Seahawks are officially headed for the auction block.
The guys kick off the morning by dissecting a lackluster Super Bowl that only Seattle fans could love, questioning the halftime show and wondering if kicker Jason Myers should've been the MVP. We've got Ryen Russillo's social media blunder and the world of prediction markets, a debate over the Mets' roster and the Knicks' dominance in Boston. Also, the Jets' latest coaching hire, St John's over UConn, where the Super Bowl should be held outside of California, and even touch on Boomer being a prepper of sorts.

Chris Long details the NFC South in today's divisional preview. He goes through each teams improvements and regressions. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have strengthened their roster after the playoff appearance last season and have added weapons like Emeka Egbuka to help Mike Evans and Baker Mayfield in the passing game. The Atlanta Falcons look like they're turning the reins over to Michael Penix Jr who will have a stable of talent to throw the ball to - Kyle Pitts, Drake London and Bijan Robinson. The Panthers and Saints will be looking to surprise teams this year. Bryce Young came on strong at the end of 2024 and will look to solidify his status as the Carolina Panthers starting QB for the foreseeable future while Kellen Moore looks like he will work on steadying the New Orleans Saints ship after a few unsteady seasons following Drew Brees' retirement. Following the NFC South Preview, Chris runs through a few NFL training camp topics, talks smelling salts and being on a burning NFL field. Enjoy the freakshow!
