On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a few quick thoughts on the reports that 'sworn enemies' Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley have been in contact recently and that head coach Darvin Ham envisions the two playing on the court together this season. Wait, what?! If Westbrook is still on the roster on opening night, there is absolutely no way the Los Angeles Lakers can be viewed as a top-10 team in the NBA. The Ringer senior NFL writer Kevin Clark swings by to discuss the trials and tribulations of being an Orlando Magic fan, expectations for Matt LaFleur in his first season without Davante Adams in Green Bay, why he believes Aaron Rodgers cares too much about what other people think about him, Baker Mayfield’s words of warning for the Cleveland Browns in week 1, the San Francisco 49ers’ peculiar decision to keep Jimmy Garoppolo to backup Trey Lance, why he believes the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars could shock some teams this season, the chances that Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots fall flat on their faces, and much more!
