Show Notes

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a deep dive into the latest news surrounding the Deshaun Watson sexual assault allegations. Two more lawsuits were filed against him on Wednesday, bringing the total up to 21. Watson's attorneys released statements from 18 other female masseuses who said he was completely professional during their sessions. That means that Watson has had almost 40 different women perform massages on him during his NFL career. Yes - 40. It's too soon to say if Watson is guilty or not but the fact that he sought out that many different women in such a short period of time is a little sketchy. All we can do at this point is let the legal process run its course and hope the truth comes out soon enough. Later, Producer Rob joins the show to help Jason make sense of the drama surrounding the New Orleans Pelicans organization. Former Pels guard JJ Redick ripped the front office for lying to him in his final months with the team, and Jason argues that it’s situations like this – coupled with the Anthony Davis saga and the team’s general inability to build a contender around its star players – could ultimately be what forces Zion Williamson out of town in a few years. Finally, the guys share their thoughts on Andre Drummond’s injury-shortened debut with the Los Angeles Lakers, and lament the fact that most of the NBA’s biggest stars have missed significant time this season with injury (LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Joel Embiid, Kevin Durant)
