On today's episode, Jason gets things started with a deep dive into the Los Angeles Lakers' road loss to the Denver Nuggets. Anthony Davis got banged up, LeBron James was bad and Russell Westbrook didn't even play. But, the big story here is that things can get even worse; there's a realistic chance that they start the season 0-7. Given how few shooters they have on the roster - and the bad mojo surrounding Westbrook - it's imperative that the Lakers made a trade sooner than later.  Switching gears quickly to the NFL, it's time to publicly admit that Russell Wilson just might be the most cringey player in League history. Wilson's story about working out on the plane while his teammates were sleeping is exactly the kind of thing you'd expect to hear from a guy who had made a career doing too much. Later, The Athletic’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat writer Greg Auman swings by to discuss what’s wrong with the once-vaunted Buccaneers defense, why he doubts any members of the defense would actually be willing to call out Tom Brady for his own sub-par play, the optics surrounding Brady’s two-week sabbatical during training camp and decision to skip a walkthrough to go to Robert Kraft’s wedding, the biggest difference between former head coach Bruce Arians and current head coach Todd Bowles, the dynamic between Brady and Arians, why he expects this will be Brady’s final season as an NFL quarterback, and much more! Finally, J-Mac closes the show with the Thursday Night Football edition of the Best Bet.
