Summary

Rich reacts to the stunning FBI arrests of Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat G Terry Rozier in separate gambling cases, and the guys marvel at Victor Wembanyama’s dominant 40-point, 15-rebound game in the San Antonio Spurs’ season opener. The guys weigh in on Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers saying this week’s showdown against the Green Bay Packers is not a revenge game, react to Sean Payton’s response to New York Giants QB Russell Wilson’s scathing tweet directed at the Denver Broncos head coach, and comment on New York Jets QB Justin Fields claiming he’s paying no mind to team owner Woody Johnson’s very public criticism of his play this season.
