Summary
On today's episode, Jason shares his thoughts on the Los Angeles Lakers' demolition of the Miami Heat in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. But more than that, he explains how a series of moves and a culture built around superstar LeBron James has put them in position to win the NBA championship. Jason also explains why the foot injury to Heat guard Goran Dragic could be the proverbial nail in the coffin to Miami's hopes of coming back at all in this series. Later, former NFL All-Pro and host of the 'Lights Out' podcast Shawne Merriman swings by to explain why he would've had a hard time adhering to the NFL's strict COVID-19 measures if they were in place when he was playing, why he thinks that Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons could be the most overrated and Joe Burrow could be the most underrated quarterback in the League, how he ultimately got the nickname 'Lights Out', and much more! Finally, Jason uses his head - and his heart - to explain why he's picking the New York Jets to cover in the Thursday Night Football edition of the Best Bet.
