Viva Las Vegas NBA As Lebron James Wants To Own a Team in Vegas
One of the smartest things the NBA could do is give Lebron James an expansion franchise in Las Vegas. James who now is worth over a billion dollars would certainly need some help from some of his Hollywood and Tech friends to secure a deal, but it would be a huge win for both the NBA and James. Plus I give you my game 5 NBA preview - will the real Draymond please show up!

LIV Golf Has The PGA Tour Running Scared & Draymond Plays Disinterested Basketball In A NBA Finals Game
The PGA tour has completely mishandled this whole LIV golf situation to the point that they are actually helping the upstart golf league get off the ground with even more interest. Plus how can you suspend former PGA tour members when they have resigned? I also cover Draymond Greens' terrible performance in game 3 of the NBA finals. As much as he helped the Warriors win game 2, in game 3 he did the same thing for the Boston Celtics by being disinterested for the entire game...

Draymond Green Is The 2nd Most Valuable Player in The NBA Finals
Draymond Green single handily shut down the Celtic's offense and more importantly got inside the heads of the Celtic players, and coaches. To this point, Green is clearly the 2nd most valuable player in the NBA finals so far. Steph Curry is playing like an MVP and is the best player on the court while Klay Thompson has gone missing in action through the first 2 games.
Jun 07, 202216:48
Patrick Beverley is The Media Gift That Keeps On Giving
Pat Bev goes on ESPN and crosses the line repeatedly, which includes calling Chris Paul ConeP3 because you can dribble around him like a cone. Plus I'm officially predicting that the Boston Celtics will beat the Miami Heat in 6 or fewer games.
May 21, 202214:13
The Suns Epic Game 7 Meltdown Was Historically Bad
The Phoenix Suns disgrace the NBA with their game 7 performance. Luka Doncic scored 27 in the first half which was the same amount of points the entire Suns team posted in the first half. Do you really think Deandre Ayton deserves a max contract after his 5 points in game 7? Plus the Celtics take down the Bucks and the Tennesse Titans have more than just a mentorship problem with Ryan Tannehill!
May 17, 202216:41
Ben Simmons, Kyler Murray, T-wolves, & USFL Nonsense.
If Ben Simmons can play in game 4, why can't he play in game 3? Kyler Murray does not deserve Aaron Rodgers dollars. The T-wolves game 3 was disgraceful, & the USFL should maybe just pay people to attend games. Plus the Jordan Poole is potential a great player secret has been revealed.

Baker Mayfield's "Disrespected Rant" Makes It Hard to Trade for Him and NBA Playoff Round 1 Predictions
It's hard to imagine that Baker Mayfield checked with his PR team before he went on Podcast this week and complained about how he was disrespected by the Cleveland Browns. Plus I've got my round 1 NBA playoffs predictions and yes the Celtics will beat the Nets. I get that coaching is tuff, but Steve Nash clearly can't coach defense which will result in an early exit for the KD and the Nets.
Apr 16, 202218:39
Russell Wilson To The Denver Broncos is Sort of Like LeBron's Move To The Miami Heat
Simply put, Russell Wilson wants to play for the Denver Broncos because he believes they can win a Super Bowl now. The deal reminds me of LeBron moving to the Heat from Cleveland. LBJ wanted to win and he knew the Cavs at that time had no chance. Plus Aaron Rodgers allegedly signs a $200 million dollar 4-year extension and Carson Wentz gets dumped and shipped off to the Washington Commanders.
Mar 10, 202221:42
The Lakers Are Now The Loss Angeles Lakers
It's safe to say that the Russell Westbrook experiment in Los Angeles has completely failed and not even LeBron James can save the Loss Angeles Lakers this year. Plus Tom Tibado has completely lost the New York Knicks who have totally tuned Tibs out which is exactly what happens to teams after 16 months of hearing Tibado yell...
Mar 05, 202213:44
The Rams Will Takedown the Bengals. Plus James Harden Finally Sets Ben Simmons Free From The 76ers.
Ultimately Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams defense should win the Super Bowl this year, but you have to give it to Zac Taylor and Joe Burrow for getting this far. Still, while I've got the Rams winning it all, I would not be mad if the Bengals won. Plus can someone please tell me why the James Harden for Ben Simmons wasn't done 2 weeks ago? Clearly, the Nets won this trade once Seith Curry was thrown into the deal. I've got all of this and a whole lot more.

Hands Down The Best NFL Playoff Weekend Ever, Plus Aaron Rodgers Tom & Brady Rumors
The Chiefs’ remarkable overtime win over the Bills is an instant classic. I take a deep look at the showdown between Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. Rams comeback win, Joe Burrow is as cold as ice - just like Joe Montana and rumors about Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. I've got all of that plus a whole lot more.
Jan 25, 202226:51
If the 49ers somehow beat Green Bay, will Aaron Rodgers star in a remake of My Left Foot?
Does anyone really believe Jimmy G and the 49ers are going to beat Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay? Plus I've got predictions for the rest of the NFL divisional round playoff games. Thoughts on Dak Prescott's comments and I tell you what is really wrong with the Los Angeles Lakers. I've got all of that and a whole lot more.
Jan 21, 202221:40
The Firing of Brian Flores Was So Wrong On So Many Levels
All Brian Flores did was win 7 games in a row after the Dolphins ownership completely disrupted their season with all that Deshaun Watson nonsense. Plus we cover all the other NFL coaching changes.
Jan 16, 202209:24
What Should The Cleveland Browns Do With Baker Mayfield?
Baker Mayfield season is over and his time as a Brown looks to be nearing an end. He threw 17 touchdowns against 13 interceptions this season and when you consider how dominant the o-line and running game is it's easy to point fingers at Progressive Insurances top salesperson, Baker Mayfield.
Jan 05, 202216:52
Nothing but Mad Respect for John Harbaugh & The Ravens for Going for 2
I've got nothing but mad respect for John Harbaugh's decision to go for a 2 point conversion in their loss to the Steelers on Sunday. Plus I know what's wrong with Patrick Mahomes and the Vikes are upset by the Lions which means Mike Zimmer is officially sitting on a hot seat.
Dec 07, 202114:31
Clearly Steph Curry Is The Best Player In The NBA, Plus NFL Pics for Week 11
Sure we are just 18 games into the NBA season, but to this point, Steph Curry has proved without a doubt that he is the best player in the world. Plus we have our Gods of Odds top 10 games worth spending some money on for week 11 of the NFL season.

NBA 2021 Championship Predictions & The Titans are Scary Good
I've got my annual NBA title predictions and the Titans are the scariest good football team in the NFL
Oct 20, 202120:48
Sam Darnold Is Improving, But You Can Still See the Effects of Adam Gase in His Eyes.
The Carolina Panthers are now 3-0 and while Sam Darnold played well against the Houston Texans on Thursday Night Football, it was against a team that isn't expected to win more than 3 games this year. Plus, you can still see that Sam Darnold is suffering from the after-effects of being coached by Adam Gase.
Sep 25, 202115:28
The Dysfunction of Ben Simmons and The 76ers
Ben Simmons wants out of Philadelphia, but the 76ers don't want him to go. Both sides are certainly hanging out on Stubborn Mountain. Plus, Carson Wentz is a mess, Aaron Rodgers continues to complain about the media and I predict which NFL coach will be let go first this season.
Sep 23, 202118:14

TNF Would Have Been Even Better With The Peyton Brothers Called The Game
Spoiler alert - Washington beat the NY Giants 30-29 on a last-second field goal. Let's just say the week one NFL trend of sloppy football carried over to the start of the second week. Personally, I think the game would have been way better if it were announced by the Peyton Brothers. Can you imagine what Eli would have said about Daniel Jones? How about the look on Peyton's face because he can't handle bad football.
Sep 17, 202110:19
The Biggest Over & Under Reactions to Week 1 Of The 2021 NFL Season?
I may have been completely wrong about Matthew Stafford, Jalen Hurts, the Falcons, the Vikings, but I wasn't wrong about Aaron Rodgers dropping the ball and the heart of the Detroit Lions. Plus Mike Tomlin continues to prove why he is one of the best coaches in the National Football League.
Sep 14, 202126:40
Dak Looks Great, Brady Looks Young & A Preview of Vikings Vs Bengals
Dak Prescott had no rust at all and was very impressive in the Cowboys' defeat to Tampa. Tom Brady looks like he drank some water from the fountain of youth. Plus a preview of the Vikings Vs Bengals and the 49ers vs Lions.
Sep 12, 202119:48
Urban Meyer's Stars In Big Trouble In Little Jacksonville
After just 2 preseason games it's safe to say that Urban Meyer looks like the next Chip Kelly. Meyer appears to be yet another highly successful college coach who finds himself unable to connect with NFL players. His offense is a mix of standard college plays and an outdated NFL offense which is handcrafted by the extremely predictable offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell. As for Trevor Lawrence, he is going to be in for a long season as his offensive line is actually worse than what Joe Burrow was dealing with in Cincinnati last year.
Aug 25, 202114:12
Justin Fields Looks Ready to Start After Preseason NFL Debut
NFL Preseason Week 1: We all understand to treat the NFL preseason with a grain of salt, but out of all the young QB's who snapped their first balls in the NFL over the weekend, Justin Fields was the only one that truly looked ready to start in the NFL today.
Aug 15, 202114:28
Of Course Carson Wentz is Hurt & The Lakers Actually Got Older in Free-Agency
I'm not in any way surprised that Carson Wentz went down before the first pre-season game. The good news for the Colts is they drafted an outstanding rookie from the University of Washington in one Jacob Eason. Plus the Los Angeles Lakers are getting older with the signings of Melo and Russell Westbrook. The question is will the Lakers be able to score some youth by signing Buddy Hield?
Aug 05, 202116:07
The Suns Look Unstoppable, Bad Bucks Coaching, and Say Goodbye to Mr. Rodgers
The Phoenix Suns look like they are going to be wearing NBA title rings in "The Valley." Unbelievably bad coaching decisions by the Bucks coaching staff and I really believe that Aaron Rodgers is done with the Green Bay Packers.
Jul 10, 202111:52
Trae Young Is Great, But He Is Not Even Near Steph Curry's Zip Code.
Trae Young has turned into a superstar in the NBA playoffs, but please stop comparing him to Steph Curry. He is a minimum of 3 NBA finals appearances away before those comparisons could even begin. Plus Baker Mayfield wants a contract extension and I'll tell you why the Cleveland Browns should wait, but probably won't because they are still the Cleveland Browns.
Jun 25, 202118:43
Crazy Los Angeles Clippers Comeback, Ben Simmons Is MIA
Hard to believe, but it took 50 years for the Clippers to finally make it to a Western Conference finals. Paul George actually showed up and so did Terance Mann who scored 39 points in the teams' historic comeback victory. Plus, Ben Simmons is missing in action...where in the world has Simmons gone?
Jun 19, 202112:16
Kevin Durant Turns The Milwaukee Bucks Into Deer In The Headlights
Turn out the lights, this party is over as the Brooklyn Nets are just too good for the bad coaching of the Milwaukee Bucks to overcome. Plus, don't overreact to the 4 points that Ben Simmons posted in the 76ers win over the Hawks in game 2.
Jun 10, 202112:36
The Suns Turned The Lakers Into The Bake Show
The Phoenix Suns flat out outplayed and outcoached the Los Angeles Lakers. When Kyle Kuzma averages just 6 points a game and ends up on milk cartons as missing in action you know that the coaching staff is ultimately to blame for the Lakers' early vacation. Plus the return of the USFL might be where Tua ends up if he doesn't study the Miami Dolphins playbook this year.
Jun 04, 202113:36
Aaron Rodgers Won't Host Jeopardy & I Give You More Reasons to Not Trust ARod
Aaron Rodgers gets beaten badly by Ken Jennings in the Jeopardy ratings, and Alex Rodriguez gives me another reason not to trust him as his investment group buying the Minnesota Timberwolves is being sued to prevent them from moving the team.
May 28, 202114:55
Tim Tebow Back In The NFL Is Clearly A PR Stunt
The Jacksonville Jaguars have brought Tim Tebow back from a 9-year stint on exile island to pretend to be a tight end. Sure this is a PR stunt, still, I predict the top-selling jersey in the NFL will be Tebows in June. Plus I preview the Brooklyn Nets first-round easy match-up with the depleted Boston Celtics. The Nets' real first-round match-up will happen in the second round against the deer in the headlights.
May 22, 202115:56
The NBA Playoffs Are Going To Be Like Watching A John Wick Movie
NBA PLAYOFF PREVIEW SHOW: The NBA Playoffs are so wide open this year that there is no clear-cut favorite in the West or the East. It's going to take a John Wick-style performance for one of these teams to win it all. Plus I'll tell you which are the 2 teams that Adam Silver doesn't want to see in the NBA finals.
May 16, 202120:19
NFL 2021 Schedule Released - Can't Wait for Tom Brady Heading Back to New England
The NFL rolled out the red carpet for its 2021 NFL Schedule Release. Trust me, it matters who you play and when you play them. The game of the year features Tom Brady and his latest Super Bowl ring heading back to New England in week 4. Plus winter is coming to the NFL as the NBA playoffs are right around the corner.
May 13, 202116:23
Loving The Aaron Rodgers Green Bay Packers Soap Opera
Seriously this whole Aaron Rodgers Green Bay Packers Soap Opera has been must-see TV. Plus sign me up for a Steph Curry vs LeBron James in an NBA Playin Playoff game.
May 08, 202118:09
NFL Draft Review - The 49ers, Bears and Yes The Steelers All Won
The 2021 NFL Draft is officially behind and yes there were some clear winners. Sure the Jags and Jets both won but the 49ers and Bears had the best overall drafts and you have to give it to the Pittsburgh Steelers for selection Alabama Running Back Najee Harris with 24th pick in round 1.
May 03, 202113:09
The Browns Give Us Another Year of Baker Mayfield Commercials
The Cleveland Browns have picked up the 5th year of Baker Mayfield's contract which means another year of excessive Progress Insurance commercials. Plus, I've got thoughts on the NBA season as it winds down. Can you believe the Knicks have won 9 games in a row?
Apr 25, 202111:22
Jerry Jones Finally Caves & Gives Dak Prescott What He Deserves
It's been over 36 months since this whole Dak Prescott deserves a new deal controversy started to brew in Dallas. Jerry Jones basically had no choice but to cave on a long-term deal with Dak.
Mar 09, 202108:48
Jumping On The Brooklyn Nets Bandwagon
I've officially jumped on the Brooklyn Nets Bandwagon. James Harden, Kyrie Irving, and yes Kevin Durant are going to be so dominant come playoff time that it is hard to imagine another team beating them 4 times in a 7 game series. Plus the Nets are full of other fantastic role players like Joe Harris and DeAndre Jordan.
Feb 21, 202107:01
Winter Has Come As The Texans Let J.J. Watt Walk Out The Front Door
It's hard to believe that the Texans actually allowed J.J. Watt to walk out the front door. I guess this is the sign that Winter has officially come to the highly dysfunctional Houston Texans. It might be 10 winters before we see the Texans in the playoffs again.
Feb 14, 202110:41
Super Bowl Predictions - Mahomes vs Brady
Will Tom Brady stick it to Belichick or will Mahomes enter the greatest QBs of all-time club?
Feb 07, 202114:11
Will The Cleveland Browns Find Their Way Into The Playoffs?
Talk about a disappointing couple of weeks for the Browns. First, they lost to the Jets and now they have to do battle with the Steelers. Sure the Steelers are resting a ton of players, but let's face-it the 2nd and 3rd stringers are still going to give the Browns a run for their money.
Jan 03, 202110:50
Andy vs Dak - Should The Cowboys Stick With Dalton?
The most ridiculous thing I've heard so far in 2021 involves the Dallas Cowboys deciding to stick with Andy Dalton instead of Dak Prescott next season.
Jan 02, 202107:57
How To Properly Overreact To The Start Of The NBA Season
On today's Disturbance, we discuss how to properly overreact to the start of the NBA Season. So the Orlando Magic are 4-0, the Cavs are 3-1, and incredibly the New York Knicks are 2-2, but that doesn’t mean any of these teams are even going to sniff the NBA playoffs this season.
Dec 31, 202009:40
THE LAKERS STOLE MONTREZL HARRELL FROM THE REST OF THE NBA
How could the rest of the NBA allow Montrezl Harrell to become a Los Angeles Lakers for just $9.25 million this year?
Dec 28, 202008:41
Who Will Take Home A NBA Ring In 2021?
Will the Lakers repeat? Does anyone really believe the Bucks have what it takes? If Kyrie Irving still believes the Earth is flat, will that derail Kevin Durants quest to win a ring without the Warriors? We cover all of that and a whole lot more on our NBA Preview Show.
Dec 24, 202017:07
The T-Wolves Should Have Taken LaMelo Ball
I get it Anthony Edwards was a safe choice for the T-Wolves at #1, but when you look at the 2020 NBA draft class, it’s as clear as water is wet that LaMelo Ball has the most superstar potential.
Nov 22, 202018:10
Russell Westbrook Isn't Batman
So it appears Russell Westbrook wants out of Houston. I'll explain why that isn't a bad thing for the Rockets and despite Westbrook's strengths as a hard-noise baller, he simply isn't a Batman.
Nov 15, 202015:42
