Relatively Speaking Podcast - Kawhi Leonard madness, Lakers fallout, Knicks
After a long hiatus, the Relatively Speaking Podcast returns with the fury of one exploding sun. On this edition of the show, the guys discuss a variety of topics, including the entire fallout that comes with Kawhi Leonard choosing the Los Angeles Clippers over the Toronto Raptors and Los Angeles Lakers.
New York Knicks talk is also involved, as is Joseph shoehorning in a few college basketball references. The show ends with Absurd Questions, which somehow involves possibly eating people.

Relatively Speaking Podcast Episode 132
After 132 episodes, Jared Mintz and Joseph Nardone (that's right, he's back) wrap up their podcast by reflecting on the last couple of years, their careers to this point as writers, where the industry's been and where it's going.
The duo, who also host the Off The Wall Podcast for The Knicks Wall, fondly reminisce on some of their previous stops as writers, the running gag that the podcast would be cancelled shortly after it kicked off, and some of their favorite episodes and conversations with their esteemed guests.
They also make fun of Kevin Durant, because they're blogger boys and he's not.

Relatively Speaking Podcast Episode 129
Even with Super Bowl LII on deck, all we can talk about is NBA All-Star weekend, LeBron's drama in Cleveland, DeMarcus Cousins season ending injury, and James Harden's ridiculousness.
And then, unexpectedly, five-time All-Star Blake Griffin gets traded in the prime of his career! The Clippers moving Griffin to Detroit represents the death of Lob City, which was more than likely the franchise's most glorious run.
Joining Jared to discuss the end of an era, Blake's legacy, the future for Los Angeles's other team, and the potential of landing LeBron is Rob Flom, column editor for SB Nation's Clippers blog Clips Nation.
For great Clippers and NBA content, and other thoughtful tweets, you can follow Rob on Twitter at @RichHomieFlom.

Somewhere in the background of the madness has been the Chicago Bulls, who are 15-8 since Nikola Mirotic returned to the team in early December, and have won 4 of their last 5 games.

Relatively Speaking Podcast Episode 116
Jared goes out of his way to prop up fellow great-name haver Jared Goff, as well as, Blake Bortles? He quickly dials back the Bortles love, but admits that the Jacksonville Jaguars could be for real, and could have a legitimate shot at winning the AFC South.
Staying in the AFC, we also look at the legitimacy of the Kansas City Chiefs hot start, MVP candidate Alex Smith, and why we shouldn't be freaking out about the New England Patriots sitting below the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets in the AFC East.
We then head to the NFC, where Jared rants about hating on Odell Beckham Jr., and the uncertainty surrounding some of the conference's best teams.
It wouldn't be possible to have this show and completely ignore the return of NBA preseason basketball, but Jared tries to temper his takes. Key word, tries.
Check in for his Carmelo Anthony takes, Kristaps Porzingis love, and what he thinks the most under the radar move of the offseason was.

Jared and Chris go back a few years to when Chris covered the New York Knicks for the Wall Street Journal, as the two discuss Carmelo Anthony's crazy offseason, his place in today's NBA, and where we can expect to see him play his games this upcoming season.
Chris also discusses the impact of Chris Paul being traded to the Houston Rockets, why it might take the Boston Celtics some time to figure things out before dethroning LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, and teams he doesn't think are getting enough attention heading into the season.
Of course Jared couldn't let the podcast finish without asking about the Knicks' beat, where Chris shared some of his best (and worst) experiences about one of the first jobs of his career.
Chris is one of the best people to follow on Twitter when it comes to NBA news and analysis. You can follow him at @Herring_NBA, and check out his columns on ESPN/FiveThirtyEight.

Under things he didn't expect to see, Jared discusses Alex Smith's prowess, the Cleveland Browns hanging close with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and impressive showings from the Jacksonville Jaguars and Los Angeles Rams.
We then move to results that were disappointing, including the Seattle Seahawks continuing their offensive woes in road games, the highly touted New England Patriots defense getting smoked, and bad Andy Dalton showing up 17 weeks too early.
Among players who pleasantly surprised this weekend were Carson Wentz, Marshawn Lynch, and Matthew Stafford, all of whom play vital roles for teams with playoff aspirations.
Not to be overlooked, there was also some fantasy football advice sprinkled throughout the show, as you should make sure Kenny Golloday, Tarik Cohen, and Andre Ellington are all owned in your leagues.

To kick things off, Joe insists the Patriots are still the team to beat in the AFC (and the NFL), and that there's only one other team in the conference they should be even remotely afraid of.
Joe also makes clear that the NFC seems a bit more unpredictable this season than the AFC, and that there are at least four teams he thinks have a legitimate shot at getting to the Super Bowl.
If you love football, Joe is a must-follow on Twitter, where he breaks down all levels of the sport. Follow him @TheJoeMarino, check out his columns here, and listen to the Draft Dudes podcast.

Relatively Speaking Podcast Episode 112
To kick things off, Joe insists the Patriots are still the team to beat in the AFC (and the NFL), and that there's only one other team in the conference they should be even remotely afraid of.
Joe also makes clear that the NFC seems a bit more unpredictable this season than the AFC, and that there are at least four teams he thinks have a legitimate shot at getting to the Super Bowl.
If you love football, Joe is a must-follow on Twitter, where he breaks down all levels of the sport. Follow him @TheJoeMarino, check out his columns here, and listen to the Draft Dudes podcast.

Relatively Speaking Podcast Episode 111
It's crazy that in a summer that's seen All-Stars Chris Paul, Paul George, and Jimmy Butler get traded, the BIGGEST summer blockbuster trade took place just last week, with the summer winding down. The Cleveland Cavaliers granted Kyrie Irving's trade request, and sent the four time All-Star to conference rival Boston for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, the Brooklyn Nets first round pick in 2018, and 2016 first round pick Ante Zizic. To help Jared discuss this mega deal, he enlisted the help of Justin Rowan, host of the The Chase Down podcast with Carter Rodriguez, and contributor for SB Nation Cav's blog Fear The Sword.
Jared asks Justin how the Kyrie trade impacted him both as an objective NBA observer, as well as someone with vested interest in the Cavaliers. The two also discuss the bridging of the gap between Cleveland and Boston in the Eastern Conference, expectations for this year's Cavs team without Irving, and what the future has in store for LeBron James and his hometown team.
If you aren't doing so already, Justin is a must follow on Twitter, where when he isn't talking Cavs/NBA, he's going viral for his hilarious tweets. Follow him at @Cavsanada, and catch his Cavs' columns at SB Nation's Fear the Sword.
