On this episode we look at why Le'Veon Bell continuing his holdout is only hurting his stock moving forward and why he should report sooner then later. Then we get to the breaking news that Sam Darnold is injured and will miss his next start. What this means for the Jets and their head coach Todd Bowles.

Todd Bowles was on the hot seat coming into this season and it's only gotten hotter as Sam Darnold has regressed in recent weeks. On top of that Bowles made some questionable decisions in Miami such as keeping center Spencer Long in the game despite multiple bad snaps and then calling out his defense after the game despite giving up only six points. Check out this episode as I explain what Bowles has to do to keep his job and what coaching candidate I think the Jets should target for their next head coach.

Halfway through the NFL season one of the biggest headlines the entire season has been this year's class of rookie quarterbacks. On this episode, let's evaluate how each rookie quarterback has done and how their futures look with their respective franchises. Also, we look at one rookie quarterback that may have already himself a job before even stepping on the field.

We are halfway through the season and the first coach has officially been fired with the Cleveland Browns announcing that they are parting ways with Hue Jackson after going 3-36-1 in forty games. Offensive coordinator Todd Haley has also been fired from the Browns so it's perfect timing for the second part of our Hot Seat series. Halfway through this season let's look at my top five NFL coaches on the hot seat as we enter the final half of the 2018 NFL Season.

The New York Mets have concluded their search for a General Manager hiring agent Brodie Van Wagenen. Van Wagenen has represented Mets players such as Todd Frazier, Yoenis Cespedes, & Jacob deGrom. However, this move has experts and players concerned about the Mets moving forward. I give my thoughts on this decision from the Wilpon's influence to the Van Wagenen's role in the Mets front office. You won't want to miss this one!

On this episode we look at the first domino to fall during the NFL trading deadline with the Oakland Raiders trading Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys for a first round pick. Not only do I give my reaction on the trade and who I felt came out the winner, but I also discuss which team's are being limited by their quarterback and what the future holds for them.

Multiple reports have come out the the NFL is worried about the long-term future of the Los Angeles Chargers. With the team struggling in attendance and selling PSL's the league appears to regret moving the Chargers out of San Diego. While the team has a twenty year lease in the new Los Angeles stadium, I break down what the NFL could do and why their is another destination outside of San Diego where the Chargers could eventually land.

Nick Bosa has left Ohio State to prepare for the upcoming NFL Draft as he recovers from an abdomen injury. While many people have criticized this decision, listen to my opinion on Bosa's decision and why I think other top prospects may follow his lead in the future.

Both the New York Giants and the Oakland Raiders have started off the 2018 NFL season by going 1-5. What do these teams have in common besides their record? They both are stuck in the past. On this episode we look in both Jon Gruden and Eli Manning and their impacts each franchise and what this means moving forward.

After falling to 1-5 it's clear that the 2018 New York Giants season is over. On this episode I analyze the Odell Beckham Jr. both leaving early in the second half and bashing his head against the sideline fan. Also, a breakdown on how Eli Manning is done and what the Giants need to do moving forward.

It's been a rocky start for the New York Giants and many were quick to call out Odell Beckham's latest comments about the offense and Eli Manning. However, I support Beckham for being honest and discuss why the Giants shouldn't have been surprised by his latest comments.

Seattle becoming the home of the NHL's 32nd franchise took another big step forward with the league putting the vote up to the board of governors in December. The board has never turned down an expansion bid and it's almost certain that Seattle will have the NHL in 2020. On this episode we not only talk about why this is big for Seattle, but is huge for the NHL's expansion plan and why this could be just the beginning of new NHL franchises.

After improving to 4-0 to start the 2018 season many people may thing the Los Angeles Rams were the big winner from their Thursday night matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. However, there was a bigger winner from this game and I talk about who this is and the significance on this episode.

On this episode let's talk about why people need to R-E-L-A-X on the Patriots 1-2 start and why history has shown it's not a concern. Then, we dive into my unique perspective on the roughing the passer problem in the NFL and why it actually is a good problem to have. As a ref I give insight on what the NFL officials are doing and how they will address this call moving forward.
