Episode Details

Coach opens with the news that Kyler Murray has been named the Vikings’ starting quarterback, then brings Mikey P and Big Tommy C into a fast-moving NFL discussion about J.J. McCarthy’s outlook, preseason physicality, and the Bears’ safety depth after Coby Bryant’s injury. The crew also reacts in real time to the report that Josh Kushner and Bob Iger are buying the Los Angeles Lakers in a record-setting transaction.

It is Rant Wednesday, so the panel sounds off on Derek Jeter’s absence from Yankees Old-Timers’ Day, why HBO’s Hard Knocks remains appointment viewing, and the changing NCAA eligibility landscape after Seth Trimble’s move to Louisville. The show closes with AFC South breakdowns: Jacksonville’s expectations after a 13-win season and the right way to deploy two-way talent Travis Hunter, followed by Houston’s ceiling as C.J. Stroud enters a pressure-packed season with the Texans.
