Summary

Rich and the guys react to Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel saying he benched Tua Tagovailoa because rookie QB Quinn Ewers gives Miami the best chance to win, and weighs in on Joe Burrow’s latest comments that suggest his future with the Bengals is not as crystal clear as fans in Cincinnati would hope. Actor Jason Clarke joins Rich in-studio to discuss his new ‘Murdaugh: Death in the Family’ Hulu series and what it was like gaining and losing 40 pounds for the role, reveals how he felt when he learned that Lakers legend didn’t like his portrayal in HBO’s ‘Winning Time,’ and reacts to Rich’s boast that he can win a point off of 6-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz in a tennis match.
