ROY - If Jefferson didn’t win it last year, Chase won’t win it this year. The wacky world of onside kicks. Why Micah Parsons is both the best new player and the best player. Oh and officials are sewage and are costing people their jobs.

The Patriots were the darlings of the show last week, this week it’s the Dallas Cowboys. Not a ton of faith in the Steelers coming to LA to face the Chargers.

Perk and Gina are ready for All-Star Weekend but first they react to the Lemon Pepper Freestyle from Drake and Rick Ross. Perk asks if Drake deserves GOAT consideration and if this is these are the best verses we’ve ever seen from him.

Rob and Martin go at it over whether the Rockets should retire James Harden’s jersey. Is Steph the most influential player in the NBA in the past 30 years? Rob bets Martin some lemon pepper wing over who will go further in the 3 contest, Donovan Mitchell or Zach LaVine. Who will have a 2nd half collapse, Knicks or Jazz? Ranking the top 3 in the Three Point contest and for the dunking, there ain’t no stopping Obi Toppin.

Jazz are Legit, Lakers Possible Moves, Boogie’s Future, Perk’s Picks, Who Gets Next Ring First?
Gina and Perk try to make sense of the NBA Top Shot card craze.
As the Jazz continue to impress, Perk predicts they will also be a problem in the postseason and will win a 7-game series against the best in the west. Perk thinks AD and Dennis Schroder’s injuries could be a blessing in disguise as it’s allowed the Lakers to see their flaws. Perk thinks the Lakers made mistakes in not keeping Dwight Howard and JaVale McGee and now need to find a replacement.
Perk and Gina put odds on who could be headed to the Lakers and why they like Hassan Whiteside, why the Cavaliers will never help Lebron by sending the Lakers Andre Drummond and why Boogie Cousins may not land anywhere. Plus, what are the odds Damian Lillard ever leaves Portland?
Perk’s Picks include – the red-hot Utah Jazz, the Clippers to lay the smackdown, Norman Powell is ballin’ for the Raptors and why the Boston Celtics can’t be trusted.
Finally, should Kawhi Leonard be getting more MVP consideration and a Bet to the Future on who will get their next ring first: Lebron, KD, Danny Green or Kim Kardashian.

Rob anoints TJ as a Super Bowl Soothsayer. A unanimous host vote that Tom Brady should not have been the MVP. Mahomes was a prisoner of the moment and Andy Reid’s five man protection schemes failed the day. TJ believes that Brady lifts the rest of the team’s confidence to a championship level and Rob thinks they could have won without Tom. Megatron and why the HOF is full of SH*T. Lemon Pepper Parlay says goodbye to football and hello to NBA chatter!
@RobParkerFS1 & T.J. Houshmandzadeh #LemonPepperParlay LINK

The final episode of this season's Waiver Wired comes via breakdown of the Super Bowl. KC was thwarted by Tampa Bay’s perfect defensive game plan.

@JerryFerrara @JenPiacenti #WaiverWired! LINK
Last episode for football this season and our hosts are split on who will win Super Bowl 55. What will the Stafford trade mean for Fantasy owners next season? Which city is the best for hosting Super Bowls and which one do you wish you attended? Why Vegas is New Orleans without the culture. Jerry revisits the time he was a Beach Bowl MVP, flew on a private jet and scored on some guy named Eddie George. Every Super Bowl prop is put under microscope for study and a correction to Cousin Sal about chicken wings.
@JerryFerrara @JenPiacenti #WaiverWired! LINK
LPP Super Bowl edition and two GOATs must ram heads this weekend when the Future meets the Present down in Tampa. TJ and Rob go a few rounds over whether Matt Stafford was worth all the rounds in the draft. A bit more on the Texans new coaching hire. TJ sticks with his season long pick with Tampa while Rob suspects the Chiefs will be in victory formation with a cool reminder that no one remembers Brady’s 9 non-winning years. Lots of weapons on both teams for producer Martin’s Super Bowl super props. End of year salutes from both the hosts before Rob is off to Vegas to drop some shekels on all the above.

Gina Paradiso and Kendrick Perkins are back to class as they discuss when are the Nets going to turn the corner defensively. Gina questions giving out the Defensive Player of the Year award this year; Perk thinks Ben Simmons is deserving and explains not having fans in the stands also is affecting the level of defense.
A look at Wednesday’s NBA games including DAL/ATL (+1/5) as the Hawks continue to impress, Perk thinks Luka can’t get all of the blame and people need to start taking a look at the entire team, including Rick Carlisle. Gina doesn’t even have Luka as an All-Star this year and if Zion continues to play the way he does, he may never be an All-Star.
Perk makes his college basketball picks and he makes a case of UMASS, Mizzu and Bowling Green. Then it’s a lookahead to Thursday night as Gina continues to like the Warriors and Perk puts his degree on the line with the San Antonio Spurs.
Perk explains why Klay’s comments about Rodney McGruder were childish, corney and entitled. Gina thinks now that LaMelo Ball is starting- not only is he the Rookie of the Year but also deserves to be looked at as an All-Star. Which leads to a discussion of what is the ceiling for Lonzo Ball and Gina makes a surprising comparison. Finally, Perk and Gina discuss who could be left out of the All-Star Game and the Lebron/fan incident in Atlanta.

Perk gives out his college basketball picks and why this is a great way to win money.
Perk hasn’t changed his mind on the Super Bowl, says bet the house on Kansas City – and doesn’t believe DaBaby’s big bet.

The fellas weigh in on the reported hiring of David Culley by the Texans. Eric Bieniemy has been passed over, again. Title game recaps regarding the terrible decision to kick a field goal and the terrible 2nd half decisions of Tom Brady. The Bucs D got all the points and how KC will win if they just hold onto the ball.

Heat(+6)/Nuggets as Perk explains Duncan Robinson’s true value to Miami. Mavericks (+2)/ Jazz and why Luka needs to make more “winning plays” more than just putting up triple-double type stats.

Then they discuss some trade rumors including Bradley Beal and the need for him to formally request a trade (28:45), JJ Reddick would be a great fit in Boston and how Derrick Rose would be a game changing piece for the LA Clippers. Gina and Perk look at some long shot odds to “Put a Dollah” on it including a dark horse for 6th Man of the Year (39:30) and Perk says Deshaun Watson to the 49ers makes sense, stay the hell away from the NY Jets (46:15)!

The coaching algorithm should not get you out of rhythm- aka you can’t beat KC with field goals. Josh Allen had the title game jitters. Jen apologizes to Jerry for a recent verbal assault. Will Aaron and Aaron leave Green Bay? Juicy storylines for next season set up by a spin of the QB carousel. Do Tyreek and Kelce have the greatest receiving chemistry ever? Jen is labeled both a heel and a baby face for her apology to Tom Brady. Why this Super Bowl with the Big Goat and Baby Goat has the greatest offensive cast ever assembled. Finally, boneless wings, yay or nay? The great Super Bowl snack debates begin.
Do sleepers exist this weekend? Chalk in everyone’s lineups, adjust yours accordingly. Jen suggests a FanDuel strategy of cash games and double ups. Jerry was hot on a Buc/Chiefs Super Bowl months ago but now he’s certain the Packers are legit. Jerry floats the idea of a Super Bowl Saturday setting off a debate over Sundays, Mondays, when to brag and when to deal with hangovers. Jen and Jerry agree on the NFC title game but are split over the AFC. Former experience playing a lawyer on TV comes in handy for Jerry as another debate erupts into a near fist fight over Fournette being “hot or not?” Chopping up props and why Jen wouldn’t waste $10 on one of Jerry’s.

Before getting to the major James Harden trade news Gina Paradiso and Kendrick Perkins jump right into their "First 48" bets. Perk thinks you have to take the Spurs to cover the first half against a depleted Rockets and some college basketball talk including Idaho sucks. [00:00]
