In this episode, I will be discussing the LA Clippers and their entire situation. Ty Lue needs to have a real conversation with the four superstars they have. They need Russell Westbrook to be himself, and everyone needs to adjust around him, because he can't change his game like the others can. The Philadelphia 76ers have a superstar in Tyrese Max…

In this episode, I am going to talk about the NFL and who is the best team in the NFL. The Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, and the Philadelphia Eagles are top tier. Lamar Jackson is quietly having a great season, and the Eagles might repeat as NFC Champs. The Dallas Cowboys are fine, but they may need an extra piece to get it …

In this episode, I will be discussing the LA Clippers and James Harden. The Philadelphia 76ers sent him and P.J. Tucker to LA, and I don't know how the Clippers are going to make this work. Russell Westbrook has been playing very well for them, so this is confusing. The Chicago Bears are a very uncertain franchise, and they traded for Montez Sweat,…

In this episode, I will be discussing the start to the NBA season and who I expect to see in the NBA Finals this season. The Denver Nuggets look like a well-oiled machine, similar to the San Antonio Spurs years ago. The LA Lakers need to rely on Anthony Davis to carry the load of the team, because at this point of LeBron James' career, he can't do …

In this episode, I will be discussing the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers, and the Chicago Bears in week six of the NFL.

Angel Reese signing with Ree…

In this episode, I will be discussing the NFL in week 5. The San Francisco 49ers dominated the Dallas Cowboys, and it wasn't even fair.

He hasn't played …

In this episode, I will be discussing the Milwaukee Bucks and Damian Lillard. That pick & roll with Giannis and Dame is going to be lethal, and I don't know how to stop it. They are the favorite right now to win the Eastern Conference, but don't sleep on the Boston Celtics. They have Jrue Holiday now, and that just added more perimeter defense to t…

In this episode, I will be discussing Jabari Parker's comment about the NBA being "watered down". I totally agree with that, because the NBA is a business. If teams are paying guys $30 Million a year, they are going to play the most minutes. DeMarcus Cousins, Dwight Howard, John Wall, Kemba Walker, Mike James, and even Isaiah Thomas are capable of …

In this episode, I will be breaking down the Chicago Bears performance this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They lost the game 27-17, and from top to bottom, they did not look great at all. Justin Fields has to see the field better, and he has to take what the defense is giving him. D.J. Moore being there now, it almost seems as if they are …

In this episode, I will be talking about the NFL season and what transpired in the first week of action. The New York Jets are devastated because of the injury to Aaron Rodgers.

In this episode, I will be discussing the NBA Playoffs. There are a lot of great teams in the Western Conference, and it could go anyone's way this year. The Sacramento Kings have a tough assignment going against the defending champion Golden State Warriors. There will have to be a very efficient gameplan to knock them off, and Golden State has see…

In this episode, I will be discussing the NBA MVP award, and who should win it this season. Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Joel Embiid have been playing very well, and Embiid has definitely become the front-runner for the award in the last few weeks. I really do believe that there should be different criteria for players that are going to…

The Chicago Bears are definitely going to have a great season. With the addition of Tremaine Edmunds, T.J. Edwards, Nate Davis, Demarcus Walker, and D.J. Moore, they are looking to take over the NFC North for years to come. Justin Fields has already proven that he is this team's franchise quarterback, so now it's only a matter of time. Aaron Rodger…

In this episode, I will be talking about the NFL combine standouts, starting with Anthony Richardson. He is so athletic, and he has the tools to become one of the best to every play. He has to work on his accuracy and his decision making to be effective, but he definitely is that high-risk high-reward type of player. Nolan Smith stood out as well, …

In this episode, I will be discussing Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. Jokic has won back-to-back MVP awards, and it is looking like he will win yet another MVP award. He has been going triple-double crazy this year, and his team is 23-0 when he has one. Where will that put him on the all-time greats list? The LA Lakers are going to have to loc…

In this episode, I will be discussing the best teams in the NFL. The Kansas City Chiefs have been playing great football as of late, and Patrick Mahomes has silenced all doubters. Travis Kelce is clearly the best tight end in the league, and he's proving it every Sunday. The Philadelphia Eagles are a close second because of what they have shown eve…

In this episode, I am going to be talking about the NFL trade deadline. The Chicago Bears traded for Chase Claypool, the Miami Dolphins traded for Bradley Chubb, and Roquan Smith is a Baltimore Raven. The Buffalo Bills are the top dog right now, but the Dolphins, Ravens, Chiefs, and Chargers are right behind them in the AFC. The Green Bay Packers a…

In this episode, I am discussing week 3 in the NFL. The Chicago Bears coaches seem as if they still don't believe in Justin Fields' passing ability. He only attempted 17 passes in their win against the Houston Texans, and that is not going to win them games against real contenders in the NFL. The Miami Dolphins made a statement in their win against…

In this episode, I will be discussing week 2 in the NFL. The Chicago Bears lost to the Green Bay Packers, and it wasn't pretty at all. Luke Getsy's offensive scheme looked too similar to what he did in Green Bay, and to do that against Green Bay, was not smart at all. David Montgomery continues to fly under the radar, and he has to be the Bears' wo…

In this episode, I will be talking about week 1 in the NFL. The Chicago Bears beat the San Francisco 49ers in terrible conditions, and it was a solid game by the Bears. Luke Getsy made great adjustments in that game, and Justin Fields and that offensive unit looks more invested in the play calling. Defensively for the Bears, Roquan Smith is going t…

In this episode, I will be talking about and giving reviews on different teams in the first weekend of college football action. Georgia is looking like they're in mid-season form already.
