Hour 1: Aaron Rodgers’ Return, NFL Fact or Fiction: Brock Purdy is Mid & so is the Eagles’ Offense, Congress Speaks on College Athletics/NIL, and INCOMING: an Interesting NBA Season
In Hour 1, GoJo, Golic, and Jessie begin the conversation with a lighthearted debate, touching on the differences between men and women, which somehow evolves into a discussion about Golic letting dogs lick plates clean. Then the crew dives into...
[07:15] - Chargers Fan Virality and Conspiracy Theories
GoJo and Golictransition into investigative journalism mode to uncover the story behind a Chargers fan who has gone viral after Monday Night Football. Golic fans the flames of a conspiracy theory, suggesting the fan might be an NFL industry plant.
[11:20] - NFL Injuries and "Fact or Fiction"
The gang touches on notable injuries in the NFL, specifically, Jags starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence and Niners running back Christian McCaffrey. GoJo and Golic play a game called "Fact or Fiction," in which they discuss three debatable takeaways from Week 6 of the NFL: 1) Brock Purdy is mediocre without San Francisco's core offensive weapons, 2) the Cleveland Browns' defense can get them to the playoffs, and 3) the Philadelphia Eagles' offense has taken a step back this season.
[19:59] - Aaron Rodgers' Potential Return
The conversation turns to the possibility of an early return for Aaron Rodgers, who was seen throwing a football prior to the Jets' game against the Eagles. Rodgers cited his recovery process exceeding expectations, but GoJo and Golic share their skepticism, stating that it's highly unlikely we'll see Aaron Rodgers in a Jets uniform this season.
[30:00] - Congress on College Athletics and NIL
US Congress has addressed college athletics, NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) money, and its impact on the game. GoJo speculates that an upside to agenda-driven politicians saying 'the quiet part out loud' is collective bargaining might be on the horizon for college football in the near future.
[39:52] - A Controversial Hoops Trade and the NBA Season Is Coming...
GoJo and Golic discuss the controversial trade involving the Rockets, the Thunder and Kevin Porter Jr. and the upcoming start of the NBA season on October 24th.
