Summary

oday’s word of the day is ‘uhaul’ as in the Utah Jazz backed up the truck and said if you want Donovan Mitchell you are giving us everything you got. The Knicks wanted Mitchell bad and didn’t get it done. The Cleveland Cavaliers swooped in and made it happen. Let’s talk about the three sides of this story. (7:25) Russell Wilson just signed a massive extension with the Denver Broncos. He’s getting $165M guaranteed, which is the third most in the NFL, behind Kyler Murray and Deshaun Watson. Watson got his full contract guaranteed. No one else has been able to do that. What’s going to happen with Lamar Jackson now? (21:30) Review: 7 Days in Entebbe. (26:10) The Chicago Bears are on the move! How far are they moving to? About 30 miles north! Does this mean Chicago is getting another team? Nope! (34:30) NPPOD. (42:00) So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about the Amazon NFL preseason streaming. What were the numbers like? Can people find it?

You hall is the nothing personal word of the day. Good morning. It is September 2, 2022.

0:27.0

You hall. The Utah Jazz said if you want Donovan Mitchell, we're going to back up our

0:32.2

you hall to New York or to Cleveland or to anywhere. And we're taking every one of

0:37.6

your assets and we're then getting a storage unit in Utah. We're not going to win any

0:42.3

games because we can't get past the Warriors anyway. So we're going to collect first round

0:46.4

picks and hope that this rebuild works. The New York Knicks were supposed to get Donovan

0:52.1

Mitchell. Donovan Mitchell is an all star. No question he is a team changer, but not a

0:57.4

championship maker. But the New York Knicks could not come to an agreement and they said

1:04.0

we're good. We're going to sign RJ Barrett, which they confirmed they gave him before

1:07.6

your guarantee deal. We're going to run it back. We're going to hear from Leon Rose.

1:11.4

Now we're not. Can you imagine the president of the team and never ever talking to the

1:15.5

1:27.2

to do better. So the next for the Knicks and when Koke told me yesterday that Cleveland

1:31.7

had traded for Donovan Mitchell, I was a little surprised because I had forgotten sort

1:36.1

of what Cleveland's roster was. They had just become irrelevant to me because you think

1:41.4

about the heat and you think about other teams in the East, the Celtics, the Bucks, the

1:45.0

Bucksers. And I just wasn't thinking about the Cavaliers. And then you look at the roster

1:50.4

and you look at what Vegas has done after this trade saying that this team could win 46,

1:55.4

47 games up from 42, 43 without Donovan Mitchell. And you say, wow, there's an aggressive

2:02.7

mid market team thinking that they have an opportunity to compete in a conference that

2:08.4

is extremely deep. Why don't we go for it? It's the dream of the union. It's a dream
