At the start of the show, we talked about the bets we placed and how bad they were. Talked about Dak Prescott’s bravery being recognized around the NFL, and feel-good stories that need to be shared more.

5:15: The New Orleans Saints and Las Vegas Raiders were both fined for not wearing masks. The Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks were as well. I criticized them and then backed them up because we’re all humans and are still getting used to this alternate life we’re living.

8:00: Notre Dame and Wake Forest have been postponed this weekend because of COVID19 positive tests. It’s the 18th game across CFB that has been cancelled because of the Coronavirus. I mean, I feel like football in general is just taking an “oh well” approach to this and it’s rubbing me the wrong way. They’ll continue to do what they want, but the Big Ten can’t afford to miss any games. It’ll be interesting to see how they handle their protocol in their nine-week schedule.

12:20: Los Angeles Chargers’ quarterback Justin Herbert was wildly disrespected by his head coach and that’s such BS that we had to bring it up. How can you not give him a chance after what he did against the Chiefs? Herbert will be the starting quarterback by the end of the 2020 season.

14:10: The Los Angeles Lakers are probably going to sweep the Denver Nuggets, but if they don’t and Denver makes it a 3-1 series…watch out because we all know how that goes.

18:00: The Chicago Bulls finally have their guy in Billy Donovan as head coach. If you look at the five years he spent with the Oklahoma City Thunder, he was almost 100 games over .500 and made the playoffs every single year. This is a great fit for them and hopefully he carries a winning attitude over to Chicago.

26:35: The Chicago White Sox are slumping so hard right now it’s actually making us nauseous. After a bad weekend in Cincinnati, the terrible play continues in Cleveland. We have to get out of Ohio ASAP.
