"I learned it from you, Dad." Pabloprah Torre found the smoking gun in the Clippers-Kawhi Leonard-Aspiration story, and he's here to wax poetic about the brilliance of his own reporting from the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference in a masturbatory way. How is this anything other than cap circumvention? Why did Mark Cuban disappear? How did he sneak a document under Adam Silver's nose in a literal way? Learn more about your ad choices.

"You're scared of the nipple?" Charlotte Hornets play-by-play broadcaster, Eric Collins, is here to discuss the joy of his broadcasts, the excellence of Kon Knueppel, the best run in Hornets' history, and to solve the mystery of Purple Shirt Guy.

"I reclaim my time." The Miami Dolphins released Tua Tagovailoa this morning, which Zaslow told you was going to happen, and the entire crew is locked in on what it means for the Dolphins' future... except for Jeremy, who is convinced the Dolphins did this just so our show wouldn't have to talk about the Miami Heat. Today's cast: Dan, Zaslow, Roy, Jeremy, and Mike. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Dave Dameshek opens the show by answering the question: which QB draft class is the best in the history of people. Then Carmen Vitali and JD Bunkis join the show to talk about all the latest moves of the 2026 NFL trade. They get past the headlines and into why these teams make the decisions they do. They look at how GMs construct teams and why roster construction is a science, but an inexact science. Dave then uses a fact about Patriot fans (how they lament more than any other football fans and will whine about Drake Maye's injury for the rest of time) as a way chat about the gold medal hockey game. Would Canada have won if they put Sidney Crosby on the ice? The answer touches on the racial makeup of Canada and why French Canadians aren't pulling their weight in the goal. Yes, we go there. And then we wind our way back to NFL trades. It's Football America time! (NOTE: Recorded on Thursday at 1pm ET.) AUDIO Football America! is available wherever you listen to podcasts.

Trysta says she would go to Phoenix if she were an NBA free agent because of the city's roads. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Your old pal Dave Dameshek is here to make fun of Jeremy for caring too much about the second apron as he flounders in the EP chair and gets blamed for everything. While he treads water and gasps for air, Tony keeps up to date on the NHL trade deadline. We discuss whether Florida Panthers' fans would be happy if Sergei Bobrovsky went elsewhere and won a Stanley Cup, and what Tua and John Fetterman have in common.
