‘See If The Glass Man Can Stay Healthy': Washington Wizards Fans Are Glad Franchise Hasn' ... by Jaggy Sports

BYU football fall camp is rolling, and KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper kicks off today's episode with the question on every Cougar fan's mind: Will Bear Bachmeier run the ball less in 2026? After rushing for 527 yards and 11 touchdowns as a true freshman last season, BYU offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick gave some insight that there might be less running from the star quarterback. Mitch breaks down what that means for the offensive game plan and whether Bear can balance protecting himself while still being a threat with his legs. Next up, Cosmo the Cougar has finally been inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2026, with the announcement coming live on Good Morning America. With three Guinness World Records, a 2020 National Mascot Championship, and viral stunts that routinely break the internet, the real question is: what took so long? Cosmo is only the second Utah-based mascot to enter the Hall of Fame, joining the Jazz Bear, who was inducted 20 years ago in 2006. Mitch discusses why this honor was long overdue. In a quick-hitter segment, former BYU star and No. 1 overall pick AJ Dybantsa predicted what he thinks his NBA 2K27 rating should be — an 80 overall. The game's developers landed him at a 79. Close, but not quite. The Washington Wizards rookie led the nation in scoring at BYU with 25.5 points per game last season. On the NFL front, former BYU safety Tanner Wall has been signed by the Miami Dolphins after being waived by the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this week. The All-Big 12 First Team honoree recorded 147 career tackles and seven interceptions in 45 games as a Cougar. Mitch shares his thoughts on Wall's path to sticking on an NFL roster. And finally, BYU star running back LJ Martin is officially back on the practice field for fall camp after undergoing shoulder surgery last December. The Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, who rushed for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2025, was cleared for full participation in June and said he's motivated and excited to be competing again. Mitch discusses what a healthy LJ Martin means for BYU's Big 12 title hopes. Subscribe to the Cougar Tracks Podcast to stay up-to-date with all the daily episodes.

‘See If The Glass Man Can Stay Healthy': Washington Wizards Fans Are Glad Franchise Hasn't ... by Jaggy Sports

Thursday was the day that Anthony Davis was eligible to get an extension from the Wizards, so talk resurfaced about that idea...until later in the day when it was announced that the two sides are tabling those talks for now.

The Kawhi Leonard and Los Angeles Clippers salary cap investigation has taken another unexpected turn, raising even more questions about what the NBA could uncover and whether the organization could face significant consequences. In this episode, I break down the latest twist, what it means for Kawhi and the Clippers, and where the investigation could be headed next.I also discuss why Anthony Davis and the Washington Wizards have decided to pause extension talks. Is this simply a strategic move before the season begins, or could it signal something bigger? I examine why both sides are waiting and what it could mean for Davis' future in Washington.

Today is the day that Anthony Davis is eligible to get the max extension from the Wizards...but is that an idea they should entertain, or should they play out this season and see what happens?

Nick Ashooh welcomes Josh Robbins of The Athletic onto the show to discuss his latest reporting on Anthony Davis and the Wizards. Robbins explains why neither side is expected to pursue a contract extension before the season, why Washington wants to see Davis play in its system before making a long-term commitment, and what the decision means for the franchise moving forward.

Look, sports can be exciting and excitement doesn't lend itself well to falling asleep. But again, we're talking about the Washington Wizards, so you should be fine.
