On today's episode, Jason gets the party started by quickly discussing that infamous Seattle Seahawks haircut we saw him sporting Tuesday morning on The Herd. It seemed like a good bet before the season that the Seahawks would be one of the worst teams in the NFL, but thanks in large part to former New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith, Seattle surprised a lot of people and ultimately caused our fearless to go viral. Later, J-Mac dives deep into the Denver Broncos decision to name Sean Payton as their next head coach. The price was steep but Payton still looks like a home run hire for Denver; If anyone can fix whatever ailed Russell Wilson last season, it's Payton. People forget that before last season Denver was projected to be a double-digit win team because their roster was so loaded with talent. With Payton running the show, the Broncos should absolutely be a playoff team in 2023. Finally, Jason closes the show with a few thoughts on the Los Angeles Lakers' overtime victory over the New York Knicks. LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Rui Hachimura looked pretty formidable along the front line, but more importantly, the Lakers showed that they have enough talent up and down the roster to make a deep playoff run. Don't let the sub-.500 record fool you!
