On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a few thoughts on the reports that Troy Aikman is leaving FOX to become ESPN's lead Monday Night Football analyst. Sports broadcasting is big business, and Aikman is one of its biggest stars. However, are we sure that Aikman's arrival is bound to boost ESPN's ratings? Are we certain that Aikman's departure will hurt FOX all that much? We'll find out soon enough. Later, Sirius XM NBA Radio host Rick Kamla swings by to discuss why he believes the impending repeal of the vaccine mandate in New York (thus allowing Kyrie Irving to play in home games) makes the Brooklyn Nets the favorites to win the Eastern Conference, why he's still bullish on Giannis Antetokounmpo and the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks, why he believes it's two-horse race for the NBA MVP between Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic, why he's more worried about Draymond Green's back injury than he is about Chris Paul's thumb injury, why he's expecting big things from Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies in the playoffs, Damian Lillard's uncertain future in Portland, the possibility that the Los Angeles Lakers would consider trading away LeBron James or Anthony Davis this summer, and much more!
