On today's episode, Jason gives a quick hat tip to the Tampa Bay Rays for winning Game 2 of the World Series and setting up what we're all hoping to be a long series against the heavily favored Los Angeles Dodgers, and tells us why he thinks the Miami Dolphins made a mistake turning the keys over to rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa while the team is still in the thick of the AFC East title chase. Jason also explains why he's dubious about the New Orleans Pelicans' decision to hire Stan Van Gundy as their next head coach. SVG was an absolute dumpster fire during his stint with the Detroit Pistons and if things start to go bad again the Pelicans run the risk of alienating their superstar Zion Williamson. Plus, The Ringer's John Gonzalez swings by for a long interview to discuss the evolution of print journalism over the years and the harsh realities that upcoming journalists need to accept if they want to enjoy a long career in the field, explain why bad injury luck is the probably the biggest reason why the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles are so bad, discuss why Eagles fans were so quick to turn on Wentz once he started to play poorly, tell us why he believes Doc Rivers is a much better coach than guys Jason give him credit for, and much more!
