On today's episode, Jason opens things up by taking a quick verbal victory lap following reports that Deshaun Watson is upset at the Houston Texans front office and may request a trade. Few guys in sports media are able to read the forrest through the trees quite like J-Mac so it's really no surprise that he saw this coming yesterday. Plus, former NFL offensive lineman turned film producer Ephraim Salaam swings by to discuss the disconnect that seems to exist between NFL franchises and the players/coaches as it relates to COVID protocol, why he doesn't think being 'young and rich' should be excuse for having a cavalier attitude towards safety, why having a 'worst case scenario' mindset isn't always a bad thing when you're dealing with things that are out of your control, why his high school basketball coach had a big issue with his parents when he was younger, how an unfortunate coaching change is what prevented him from playing both Division 1-level basketball and football throughout his entire college career, how he ended up getting his start in sports media as a rookie in the NFL, how and he his longtime friend Deon Taylor came to form one of the most powerful production groups in Hollywood, why he's making the transition from film producer to film writer, his biggest issues with today's social media generation, his Super Bowl prediction, and much more! Finally, Jason closes things out with a special NFL Wild Card Weekend edition of the Best Bet.
