July 03, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 60 MBMLB commissioner Rob Manfred said in a recent interview that MLB was never considering playing more than 60 games. Which begs the question as to why the MLB sent the MLBPA countless offers of far more than 60 games. We break down everything wrong with what Manfred said in what continues to be a problematic process for the League. It seems that a lot of people have some major issues with Cam Newton, Chris has a few theories as to why. But fair warning, if you are overly sensitive you may ...

June 24, 2020 02:18 - 1 hour - 62.8 MBThere appears to be mutual interest between the Dallas Cowboys and Jets safety Jamal Adams. Adams has stated the Cowboys are one of the teams he would like to be playing for this upcoming season assuming the Jets and Cowboys can work out a trade. The bigger problem for Dallas however is the salary cap. How can they afford a contract extension should a deal get done?

June 19, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 39.4 MBAfter a tumultuous 2019 season the Jets appeared to be on track to sign superstar safety Jamal Adams to a much deserved long term extension.
