Episode Details

NFL season is getting closer, NBA chaos is in full swing, and we've got takes.

This week, we kick things off with a challenge: if you had to bet on ONE dark horse team to win the Super Bowl today, who are you taking? We make our picks, defend them, and explain why these teams could crash the NFL's elite.

Then it's all NBA. We react to the 2026 NBA Draft, break down the biggest free agency storylines, and ask the question everyone seems to avoid: Does trading for superstars actually win championships anymore? Giannis continues to dominate the rumor mill, and we discuss what his future could look like and whether the league's "build a superteam" philosophy is finally running out of steam.

We wrap things up with one of the league's biggest debates: Should the Celtics seriously consider trading Jaylen Brown? It's a conversation that could reshape the NBA—and we aren't holding back.

• Our 2026 NFL Dark Horse Super Bowl Picks
