On today's episode, Jason makes his triumphant return from his weeklong tropical vacation. First up on the docket? Major League Baseball's decision to suspend San Diego Padres superstar Fernando Tatis Jr 80 games for PED use. Tatis broke the rules, for sure, but it is notable that MLB seems to be the only American professional sport that seems to have no problem whatsoever coming down hard on their star players. Later, J-Mac and Producer Rob G do a deep dive into the uncertainty surrounding the New York Jets' quarterback position in the wake of Zach Wilson's knee injury. Wilson is expected to miss about 4 weeks, but Jason says now is the perfect time to make a trade for Jimmy Garoppolo. New York is desperate for relevance, and Jimmy G has the smile and talent to make the Jets respectable again. Rob argues that the addition of Garoppolo would put New York in a race towards mediocrity, but J-Mac says mediocrity would still be more preferable than being a dumpster fire. This really was one of the more unique debates the guys have had in some time. Finally, the guys close the show with a few thoughts on some of the hype coming out of week 1 of the NFL Preseason. Does any of it matter? Should we be excited or worried? Their answers may surprise you!
