Hour number two here on the herd.

Gorgeous Wednesday.

Tons of news.

College football, NFL, obviously, a little NBA action. It's me.

Jason McIntyre in for an under the weather coward.

He did text me within the last hour, so there is proof of life that he's alive.

He said he's expected back manana.

If not, you know, I'm just to have to carry the show

with the help of the great rachel nichols and uh it's official rachel and i will be at the

lakers game together not together tonight we'll be there uh rachel obviously has better connections

and i do i get better seats i'm getting on the last you were at the paperclips against Sheaildjus Alexander at OKC last night. How did that? Man, the Oklahoma City Thunder have not missed a step, despite the fact they are missing their second best player. They're undefeated, and they don't even have J-Dub right now. So it looks like, you know, a lot of people after it took seven games to win the finals were like,

I don't know, it's wide open again next year. I don't know, man, they're young players, they have experienced now. And they, Shea said at the beginning of the season, we're only going to be better this season, and he's right. So far away, I was the free throw merchant. What did you do last day? I'm just kidding. Okay, some fans are, man.

They don't love me, but Okay, Cid fans are.

Man.

They don't love me, but yes, you guys are dominant, undefeated. I will apologize, you know, when it's due time. All right, coming up in five minutes, I guess Joe Clatt will be here. Very excited. fun fact i've never sat and just had a one-on-one with clatt for a while because uh you know it's what

cowher does and uh i'm very excited to talk to a lot of tough, hard-hitting questions about my Jets. But real quick, briefly, I wanted to talk about what did not happen at the trade deadline yesterday. And I think Colin might have started this like, I don't know, six weeks ago, should the Eagles trade A.J. Brown? And, you know, I was here snickering like, bro, what are you talking about? And then things were kind of wobbly. And I started to think, well, maybe there's a world where they trade him. Anyways, the Eagles do not trade him, which was smart, obviously. He's a stud. He's a top 10 receiver in the league. You need him to beat man coverage. We know Jalen Hertz has kind of struggled against the zone with only one option.
