Description

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a few thoughts on the Tim Tebow signing in Jacksonville. It truly is the feel good story of the NFL offseason thus far. What the talking heads fail to realize is that Tebow isn't getting a handout; He's getting an opportunity to compete. Nothing more, nothing less. There are tons of people in the everyday world who are given opportunities they wouldn't normally get simply because they know the right people. What makes Tebow any different? You should be rooting for him to succeed. Later, Jason discusses the Julio Jones trade rumors coming out of Atlanta. At this point, it appears as though Jones will open the 2021 season on a different roster, and if that's indeed the case, keep an eye on the San Francisco 49ers. Jones has a history with Kyle Shanahan, and the pair could produce sweet music again in the Bay Area. Finally, Jason gives his official predictions for the first round of the NBA Playoffs. He has not one, not two but three shocking upsets pegged in the first round. The Miami Heat appear primed to send Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks hope early for the second consecutive season. If this goes down, expect the 'Giannis needs to bolt for a Super Team' narrative to pick up a steam again. In the Western Conference, Jason likes Luka Doncic to avenge his first round loss from last season and lead the Dallas Mavericks to an upset of the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers have been frauds all season, and Luka has the tools to expose them. The third upset doesn't feel like much of an upset at all if you've been paying attention - Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers over Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. Jokic is the presumptive MVP, but even he can't overcome the Nuggets' injury-ravaged backcourt.
