On today’s episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick defense of Brian Kelly after the Notre Dame head football coach joked that his players should be executed after the way they played against Florida State. Can’t anyone take a joke these days? It’s not that serious. Speaking of serious, Producer Rob G’s UCLA Bruins put the college football world on notice after they dismantled LSU on Saturday. Suddenly, Chip Kelly’s Bruins look like serious contenders to win the Pac-12. Then again, all of this might be for naught given what we saw from Alabama in week 1; They are an absolute juggernaut and should be heavily favored in every game they play this season. Later, ESPN fantasy football analyst Matthew Berry swings by to discuss what it’s like playing in a fantasy league with Jay-Z and Chris Paul, why he’s down on Saquon Barkley entering the upcoming season, why he disagrees with Jason that Derrick Henry is in for a down year, why guys like Nick Chubb are better in real football than they are in fantasy football, why he’s all-in on Chargers running back Austin Ekeler, why it’s so important to try and draft a quarterback who can get you some points with his legs as well as his arm, and much more!
