My pal Field Yates came on the pod to break down the Myles Garrett and AJ Brown trades for both sides. Plus: way too early fantasy advice! 🎧: apple.co/3QluPSW 📺: youtu.be/voCb0vafmw0?...

I'm already seeing a lot of analyses of the Los Angeles early numbers are though those are close to final. Again, analyze away, but do take recent history into account for hints of how the count will still evolve!

For any Love Island fans…premiere recap with @daviddennisjr.bsky.social drops tomorrow AM! Early impression: Beatriz YOU are my favorite Islander 🫵

The Rams pass rush was good last year, but didn’t get a ton of quick pressure. Myles Garrett forces QBs to play fast—which the acquisition of Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson, two great tackling CBs, even more important. More trade thoughts on NFL Live 👇

I’m sorry but LOOK AT HIS DAMN HAND WTF GUYS

Tyler Shough resets after the defender ties down on the RB checkdown and hits the middle read route on a 989 concept. Nice ball placement against tight coverage while taking a shot to the head. Plus a strong catch from Vele.

I’m sorry is this man suggesting that Talarico endear himself to Texas voters by crapping on ARCH MANNING?

The young Mariners are so fun

Yards per route run since 2022, playoffs included, when A.J. Brown is not on the field

New column #2: Another deep dive into another trade! Myles Garrett goes to the Rams! Why it makes sense for both sides, why it made sense for the Rams to push their chips in right now, and how the Browns can win the deal even if the Rams win a title www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Honestly not really—I think they just liked the QB more than consensus. Even if they had their 2027 pick, it’s likely to be late and would be hard for them to move up for a QB.

Found my new burner

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

It me, noted Browns water carrier

"All in" doesn't feel sufficient to describe how much the Rams are in win now mode. I will say - this makes a lot of sense for Cleveland. Great young player and a 2027 first+? Works for their timeline.

Tilly Norwood’s most recent Instagram post, which is 2 weeks old, has 280 likes and 30 shares. No one other than reporters has any particular feeling one way or the other about Tilly Norwood.

Also, the Mariners are undefeated since they memed me on Celebrity Jeopardy. Makes you think.

Great, great outing from Luis Castillo. Now make it pay off!

Legit torn on who I want in Spurs vs Knicks. Leaning Knicks but I’m still a swing voter! Convince me!

“Playing in this Robert Saleh 4-3 that asked the 3 tech to get upfield and penetrate…I think Simmons could be at *another* level this year.” On the pod, Brentley Weissman talked about why he picked Jeffrey Simmons as the Titans’ X factor. youtu.be/rkHeK4ZLF24?...

Giants OLB Abdul Carter on why he responded critically to Jaxson Dart’s decision to introduce Donald Trump: www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

One of my strongest takeaways from the Bee this week is that it was a showcase for why critical thinking matters more than ever. So much of what the kids do up there isn’t rote memorization—it’s using their insane prep to solve words like puzzles (using etymology, patterns) in real time.

If Travis Hunter lives up to his potential as a cornerback, the Jags could have one of the better secondaries in football. 🎧: apple.co/3Q3MQFi 📺: youtu.be/rkHeK4ZLF24?...

They can see a monitor with the definitions! But also they know there won’t be any easy words, so they’ll always go for the non-obvious homophone.

Mina Kimes will co-host the Scripps National Spelling Bee this week with Paul Loeffler, the longtime voice of the Bee. For Kimes, the unique assignment is a chance to revisit the world of academic competition that shaped her long before football did. https://wapo.st/4ujR9dT

The Ravens say Nnamdi Madubuike is trending in the right direction. If he returns to form, Baltimore’s DL suddenly looks *very* deep and dangerous… X factors for every AFC team 👇 🎧: apple.co/3Q3MQFi 📺: youtu.be/rkHeK4ZLF24?...

I think the Broncos are Super Bowl contenders. Some fans just don’t like it when you aren’t as high on the QB as them, even if you think the team is excellent.
