On today's episode, Jason explains why the knee injury to Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Bud Dupree is a much bigger deal than you might think on the surface, why he's shocked at how much Baltimore Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III has regressed as a passer since his rookie season in Washington, and why he's a tad concerned about the Steelers' sputtering offense. Jason also shares his thoughts on the Russell Westbrook-for-John Wall blockbuster trade in the NBA and tells us why he can't envision the deal working out well for either the Houston Rockets or the Washington Wizards. Later, former Pro Bowl running back and FOX Sports' Talk the Line co-host Clinton Portis swings by to explain why he feels the 2005 Washington Redskins were the closest team he's ever been a part of and why he was so disappointed to see them broken up the following season, how the unfortunate passing of his teammate Shawn Taylor helped cement his bond with Washington owner Daniel Snyder and why he thinks Snyder takes a lot of unwarranted criticism from fans and the media, why the daily competition on the legendary 2001 Miami Hurricanes is what made the team so special, why he emphatically disagrees with the notion that running backs aren't as valuable in today's NFL, why he begrudgingly calls former former Florida State and current Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook the best in the NFL right now, and much more!
