The game was fun to watch today as a journalist. Clearly didn’t know what to write between the Packers and Bengals. It was truly mayhem.

Kevin McGuire of Althon Sports joins the Mac Man to break down Week 4 of the College Football week
It’s not easy to shut out teams in the NFL and the Bills certainly accomplished that against the Dolphins on Sunday. You can tell that they really learned their lesson from the Steelers loss. They held the Dolphins on 0 of 4 on fourth downs. That is very impressive. Leslie Frazier might have been the Bills MVP in Week 2.

The way in which the season is set up all the Ravens AFC north games are at the end of the year so the first part of the season you have a Vegas team staring right at you opening night, sure you have the Chiefs at home, but it is all about how you finish not how you start. The injuries will plague them early on, but expect the Ravens to bounce back nicely.
Vaccines are a good thing regarding the state of the NFL and certainly for the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry Jones has been very mindful of this and certainly wants his players to be intentional about this. Cowboys and teams around the league have certainly gotten their wake up call.
It’s amazing when looking at a guy like Nolan Ryan when he took the job with the Rangers, they are not going to baby pitchers about 15 years ago like other organizations. We might even go to a 4 man rotation according to Ryan. It’s such a different game these days as players are very protected, especially pitchers
This will be the year where a FedEx cup takes a giant leap. We say goodbye to anything that looks like a major. Then we start up the funny season in golf that the PGA season tries to wrap up around the 2022 season. It's a difficult idea to understand, but we have no idea where to put them. We're only a matter of days before an NFL season gets underway, It's great that there will be full crowds.
Casey Stern, MLB Network Radio, SiriusXM
There should be a player of the year instead of an MVP or at least in addition to an MVP. Mike Trout would win for all ten of his first seasons. Similar situation with Albert Pujols. The AL Cy young award is wide open at this point. We know about the greatness of Ohtani. The MVP and CY Young is all about having a dominant September.
Having all the key players coming back for the Bucs has a lot to do with playing with Tom Brady. What he did in an era of Covid-19 where no players can practice together, what Brady did in his first season with the Bucks is incredible. Bruce Arians adjusted nicely and Todd Bowles and the defense were absolutely incredible. Expect something very special in 2021 with Tampa, not just in 2020.
Jody gets you ready for the college football season with everything you need to know with Ben Kerchaval of CBS Sports
Tough to grade the Seahawks at this point without Russell Wilson playing. You are seeing from so many teams they are simply not putting out there stars. Look at Green Bay and the New York Giants for example. This is getting more prevalent in terms of stars missing preseason games.
Incredibly happy for Miguela Cabrera on hitting his 500th HR. He was with him very early on. They had no idea that in 2003 that they would win the World Series, but has an idea what he would accomplish. He is a first ballot hall of famer. Always knew what he wanted from an early age.
Tua Tagovailoa still needs the reps in the preseason because he needs that familiarity. He's a young QB that needs fundamental time. The NFL is in a tough position with Covid-19 even to this day. The Vaccine is still a hot button issue both in and outside of the NFL that definitely has an impact in the league.
It looks like the Browns want to get to week 1 healthy. It's still very much uncertain whether Baker Mayfield plays in this preseason or not. What will the contract situation be when it comes to Baker Mayfield in getting a major pay day. With two weeks to go it doesn't seem like a serious conversation at this point and that could be a good thing.
It's very important to have a family/work balance, even when you coach at the highest level. Looks back very fondly on his days in Philly. Has been very lucky to have had the owners he has gotten to coach for. To this day, it is still imperative that you play the right way
It's tough to gauge how good this Packers team is because of the lack of play in the preseason from some of their stars. With Jordan Love there is some very good stuff, but there are also his shortcomings. There doesn't seem to be any clear number two at this point. Love certainly has his ups and downs. The Packers have had more good than bad in Love.
The Hall of Fame game was very interesting. The 2021 class was supposed to address the senior situation. you also had two coaches which you can't forget. Buddy Parker was a glaring oversight, he was the Jimmy Johnson of his time.
Understands why their is a 17 game NFL Schedule. With Michael Thomas in New Orleans, the situation is fuzzy. Doesn't understand why players don't want to get vaccinated. Simply doesn't make sense at all. The 2021 class is a special HOF class.
The Phillies and the Braves did what they did at the trade deadline for a reason. Sure enough the Phillies got hot and all of a sudden the Mets lead in the NL East, but not by leaps and bounds. The Mets have certainly struggled as of recent. The Braves pitching is pretty strong.
The Athletic's Matt Fairburn joins the show to break down the Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen's contract extension, and recent rumors of the team regarding their stadium, and preview the 2021 Bills season
CBSSports.com's James Herbert joins Jody to recap the big time moves from the NBA Free Agency in the past week
College Football has been about business for a long time. ESPN is very much behind that as well. It's about media rights. We see why Oklahoma and Texas moving to the SEC along those lines. We see that the playoff announcement makes a lot more sense when we don't have a conference championship automatic bid.
This was an interesting week with the MLB Trade Deadline. There are certainly a lot of guys. Don;t forget about Free Agency either. The impact of Anthony Rizzo is simply amazing., look at what he has done for the Yankees.
Let's make no mistake about it. Not getting vaccinated is putting teams in jeopardy for their season. This is not only an NFL problem, but it's still a societal problem. This is something that NFL teams are very mindful of. Lets always remember that the NFL is about raking in the dollars.
Jody breaks down the fallout from the NBA Draft and previews free agency with Kurt Helin of NBCSports.com
Jody chats with Pro Football Hall Of Fame voter Gary Myers about vaccination status within the NFL and much more!
The reality of the world we live in is a virus story, it's not a political story. It obviously can greatly impact the NFL. You saw the Vikings part ways with an assistant coach because he wasn't willing to get a vaccine. The NFL is encouraging their players to get it, not just because they want to make money, but they want their players to be in the best position to stay healthy.
Ed Stefanski, Former 76ers and Nets GM
When he drafted Jrue Holiday, he was very excited because of his size and what he could do on both sides of the ball. Ben Howland, the UCLA Head Coach believed that Holiday wasn't ready, he certainly didn't want to lose Holiday. The 76ers wanted to get long and young so Holiday would be a great fit. You could very well make an argument that he is the 4th best player from that 2009 draft class.
Scott Boras clients always seem to create headlines in the MLB. What does the future of Max Scherzer look like? This has certainly not been the busiest trade deadline. The Nationals just got swept by the Orioles this weekend. Scherzer doesn't want to run out the clock with the Nationals. He wants to go to a team where he can win the World Series. Crushing defeat for the Yankees on Sunday to say the least.
A few pitchers would suffer the result of being drafted low because of the depth of infielders in this MLB draft class. This is even true for the college game. Teams are getting smarter about how they are using their players arms and usage. What happened in Washington with shots being fired was an incredibly scary moment for the MLB
The Suns mean so much to Phoenix. Prefers to live on the sunny side of the street. They just need to win two games to become NBA Champions. They are still the better basketball team. They need to show that for the entire game. They do have the ability to win two games in a row. This is a tough time to lose three games in a row for the first time in half a year.
The Suns have been really hurt on the glass. Jrue Holiday was absolutely fantastic in Game 5. Devin Booker was playing a little too much hero ball. The Bucks are forcing the Suns to shoot so many threes. The Suns are far from out of it. The Bucks as a team were great in game 5. This series has been absolutely facilitating.
Jody recaps game five of the NBA Finals which ended with the Bucks now one win away from the NBA Title and the latest news surrounding Damian Lillard with Colin Ward-Henninger of CBSSports,com
Gives the MLB credit for taking a risk with their All-Star game. Ronald Acuna Jr. has been great, it’s a shame he won’t be playing again this year. Fernando Tatis Jr and Vlad Guerrero Jr. backed off of the home run derby. The key word in the MLB is as far as you know because you don’t know the extent of their injury situation. It’s taxing to be in the HR derby.
Chris Paul has been absolutely amazing for this Suns team. You know Devin Booker is simply a walking bucket. How great has Mikal Bridges been in this NBA Finals, especially game two. Dropping Chris Paul in the middle of this young core would put them as a 4/5 seed at best. But to be THIS good, nobody saw it coming. Thought the Bucks would win at least 1 of these 2 games on the road
Khris Middleton had a great series in the Eastern Conference Finals. Middleton has not been that same player through the first two games of these NBA Finals. Middleton has never been a one, but he is a very good two. Middleton is also an excellent closer. Giannis is truly a number one. You can''t tell Jrue Holiday to be less aggressive. Optimistic that the Bucks will win game 3, game 4 will be tricky
Jody talks the latest with the MLB All-Star Game & the MLB Amateur Draft with Kyle Glaser of Baseball America
The All-Star Game is such a celebration of the game of baseball. The Home Run Derby is such a showcase for the talent that they have and the star power lends itself to gaining a young audience. It has been so special what both Fernando Tatis Jr. has done this season. Let's not sleep on what Shohei Ohtani has done this season. To have 31 homers to this point of the season is incredible.
It is amazing to be a Bucks fan right now. They just accomplished something that they haven't done in nearly 50 years which is absolutely incredible. Khris Middleton has gotten even better from last season. The Bucks may have had more talent last year, but they have the better pieces this season. Jrue Holiday has been such an incredible piece for this tram. Khris Middleton haters at this point absolutely have to back down.
