On today's episode, Jason takes Tony Romo to task for saying in a conference call that the upcoming Super Bowl is a 'legacy' game for Patrick Mahomes. Has Romo not been following football the past 3 years? Mahomes has easily been arguably the quarterback since he became a starter, and he's already making his second Super Bowl appearance. Mahomes is only getting better; he's going to be a fixture in the Super Bowl for a long time. Sticking in the NFL, apparently Ben Roethlisberger is willing to take a pay cut so he can play for the Pittsburgh Steelers for one more season. It's understandable why Big Ben would want to come back, but are we sure that's the right move for Pittsburgh? He looks washed, and the best move might be to just tell him to kick rocks. Finally, Jason shares a quick thought on the reports that Deshaun Watson has formally requested a trade out of Houston. If the Texans think they can play hard ball with their disgruntled quarterback, they're in for a rude awakening. Plus, former NFL All-Pro safety Kerry Rhodes swings by to explain why if he were running the New York Jets he'd be willing to give up whatever it takes to get Deshaun Watson via trade, why he sympathizes with Watson given the way he was treated by the Houston Texans front office, why he loves the idea that the NBA's Player Empowerment Movement is coming to the NFL, what it was like playing for the Jets during the infamous Rex Ryan era and why things ended poorly for him there, why he thinks it's imperative for the Baltimore Ravens to create a more diverse scheme that can help Lamar Jackson develop as a passer, why he expects Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, what it's like playing pickup basketball with guys like Russell Westbrook, Common and Jason Terry in the offseason, why he's hoping and praying that his beloved Dallas Mavericks are able to make a trade that would pair Bradley Beal with Luka Doncic, and much more!
