Summary
On today’s episode, Jason discusses why he believes the Miami Dolphins are doing the right thing by tanking the upcoming 2026 season and getting an early start on the 'March for Arch' Manning for the 2027 NFL Draft, whether it's fair or foul to say that Fernando Mendoza wouldn't go first overall in the 2026 NFL Draft if he had come out in a more star-studded draft class like the one we saw in 2024 with Caleb Williams, Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels, the real reason why Victor Wembanyama felt compelled to play hard in the NBA All-Star Game, and why Luka Doncic and LeBron James appear at-odds as it pertains to the Los Angeles Lakers season-long outlook.
