The Lakers are officially dead and will not make the playoffs

View episodeLeBron James is tanking the Lakers' season to lure Kevin Durant to Los Angeles
The one thing I'm keeping an eye on here, I think LeBron might be tanking this season on purpose because KD is going to want to do the opposite thing that he did last time he was a free agent.

So I think that this is LeBron James setting up a long, long proposition here.

I think we can officially say they have a Kyler Murray problem. Justin Jefferson has reached his point where he's like, 'What the fuck is going on?' So that would be my point. Maybe there's a Kyler Murray issue.
The Vikings should trade for Kirk Cousins
What if I told you the Vikings could trade for a quarterback that has 18 touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown? Would that be something you think you'd be interested in if you were a Minnesota Viking fan? Kirk Cousins.
Jalen Warren is a top-five running back
Jalen Warren is the top five running back this year. And it's like watching him play, that changes what I think about the Steelers.
