Plus, why Jokic didn't extend, and Adam invokes geopolitics as he discusses whether the Nuggets would ever consider trading Jokic.

On this episode Mike & Jason discuss a slow NBA news week, including potential league expansion to Seattle and Las Vegas and which Western Conference team might move east. They criticize the confusing and expensive ways fans must access local NBA games, arguing that a reasonably priced League Pass-style package would be a better solution. The hosts examine Steve Ballmer's decision not to challenge the NBA's punishment of the Clippers and debate what the franchise's future looks like without full ownership of its draft picks. They continue ranking the best NBA players from each state, selecting players such as Bill Russell, Scottie Pippen, Charles Barkley, Walt Frazier, and Tracy McGrady while sharing plenty of humorous research mishaps. The episode closes with a bleak assessment of the Cleveland Browns, focusing on their quarterback problems, Deshaun Watson's struggles, and the belief that the season may already be lost.

Late Sunday, Steve Ballmer blinked: the Clippers will comply with the NBA's punishment rather than pursue legal action — a complete reversal from the book-length letter to Adam Silver and weeks of denials, and the franchise's first statement to its fans since any of this began. Grant calls it the right call and the only real one, pointing to the 2000 Timberwolves, who complied and got two of five picks back. John's verdict lands harder: you just watched one of the richest men in the world be held accountable, and when there was nothing left to do but comply, he complied like everybody else. His theory on the timing — dropped on Sunday night, while the Bears were scoring 59 — is worth the price of admission. Before that, the full Week 1 Sunday wrap: John got bamboozled by the Cowboys for the twenty-seventh straight year as the Giants won the John Harbaugh opener on pure physicality, the Chargers were the upset of the week and it wasn't close, Caleb Williams was the best quarterback of the weekend in a 59-point explosion, Josh Allen and DJ Moore made a statement in Houston, and the Vikings won anyway after losing Kyler Murray — which may mean you never see JJ McCarthy again.

Good afternoon — September 14, 2026. Hosts Will Alimonos and Zach Bishop return to Little Column A, Little Column B with NFL Week 1 reactions, Week 2 picks, college football talk, and updates from around basketball. With Week 1 nearly in the books, Will and Zach break down which NFL teams impressed them most, the importance of offensive pace, and some of the weekend's biggest surprises. They revisit Detroit's thriller against New Orleans and the controversial Jared Goff incomplete-pass ruling before moving through the Week 2 schedule. The guys debate whether Carolina can take advantage of Atlanta's quarterback problems, react to Minnesota's comeback against Green Bay and Chicago's explosive offense, and discuss whether Philadelphia can continue winning despite an uninspiring attack. Then things get personal with the Patriots: Zach tries to calm Will down after New England's frustrating loss to Seattle, while Will worries that Drake Maye and the offense are showing too many of the same problems as last season. The picks continue with Will putting his faith in the Jets, Zach locking in Baker Mayfield and Tampa Bay, and both hosts weighing Derrick Henry's huge opening performance, Baltimore's potential, Houston-Cincinnati, Jacksonville's fast start, and the Chargers' disastrous Week 1 showing. They also react to the Giants surprising Dallas, debate whether New York can carry that momentum against the Rams, and discuss whether San Francisco's Australia trip could have lingering effects. Will and Zach give their bets of the week before turning to college football, including Texas' comeback against Ohio State and the upcoming schedule featuring Houston-Texas Tech, SMU-Louisville, and Lane Kiffin returning to Ole Miss with LSU. The episode closes with basketball and media talk. The hosts discuss the women's FIBA championship competing for attention during a packed NFL Sunday, RedZone's increasingly frustrating commercial breaks, and the latest developments in the Kawhi Leonard saga, including his trade from the Clippers to Toronto and Steve Ballmer's response to the NBA's punishment.

On September 2nd the NBA closed its year-long investigation and dropped the hammer — a $30M fine, five forfeited first-round picks, a one-year suspension for Ballmer, six months for Lawrence Frank, a year for Gillian Zucker, and a $700K fine for Kawhi Leonard — over a $28M "endorsement" with the now-bankrupt Aspiration that the league deemed a no-show job. Mike and Dan dig into the scathing Wachtell report (this wasn't just the Clippers — Kawhi's camp shopped similar deals to other teams), and the real legal-ease answer to the question everyone's asking: why did Kawhi get a slap on the wrist while the Clippers got decimated? Then, the saga that "90% resolved itself" — SEC v. LSU. The conference passed its ex-pro eligibility rule 16–0 (LSU included), then Lane Kiffin went and recruited former NFL players anyway. The crew maps the chaos: a Louisiana state court clearing Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavien Harris to play, the SEC's now-mooted federal suit in the Northern District of Alabama, and the nuclear threat that ended it — a vote to expel LSU from the conference. LSU's RJ Lewis is teed up to test it all over again come basketball season.In the back half: Josh Jacobs pleads no contest to two misdemeanors the morning of the record — Mike explains the plea terms, the Commissioner Exempt List, and why the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy runs independent of the courts (the Diggs timeline is the cautionary tale for anyone counting on a quick return).
