00:00So let's start there because yesterday when we were here on the show, we talked about Liam Cohen,

00:05if you don't know who he is, you're not alone. Offensive coordinator for the Tambay Buccaneers,

00:09re-upping with the Bucs and not going to Jacksonville. A short time later, we found out

00:14that the owner of the Jaguar, Shad Khan, fired the Jaguar's general manager. His name is Trent

00:19Balke. He is out. Don't know if the two things are correlated. A lot of people are speculating

00:24they are. Balke certainly has had a lot of success in drafting, but not a lot of success

00:30with wins and losses. So the Jaguars are now searching for another general manager and a

00:36head coach. And this is, of course, ahead of the NFL draft coming up in April. Meanwhile,

00:40the New York Jets have hired their next head coach and Jets fans will be familiar with him.

00:45Defensive back Aaron Glenn is headed home. He's going to be the head coach of the Jets. He leaves

00:50after a stellar run with the Detroit Lions. And so another coaching vacancy has been filled.

00:57Glenn did a fantastic job with the Lions defense over the years. Although you probably would say

01:01that injuries really derailed them at the end of the year. Glenn, a defensive specialist,

01:04although he says he's a coach regardless. The Las Vegas Raiders have a new GM also.

01:09And there is some correlation here to one of their limited partners in Tom Brady. His name is John

01:14Spytek, not Spygate. Spytek. He is their new general manager. Has that joke been made yet?

01:20Hopefully I'm not the first one. He was with Tom Brady back at Michigan in 1999 and also was with

01:26the Tampa Bay Buccaneers staff a few years ago. And so he will be tasked with hiring the next

01:31head coach of the Raiders and also finding a quarterback for the Raiders. I've had a hard time

01:34doing that as well. Last night, Jimmy Butler did not attend a flight when they went on the road.

01:42There are several reports saying that they had a different practice schedule. Maybe this is why

01:46this has happened. Who really even knows the story right now? But here's what we know. No

01:50Jimmy Butler for the Miami Heat for their next two road games. He was suspended again

01:55on this next two-game road trip. The Heat has been trying to trade Butler and they have a

02:00deadline coming up in February where they're going to have to make this happen. We know the Suns have

02:04been in play trying to acquire draft picks to make this happen as well. But Jimmy Butler,

02:09two more games of not being on the court with Miami. Hal Golden, former head coach in college

02:15football at the University of Miami, is returning to the Bengals as defensive coordinator. He was

02:20linebackers coach with them back in 2020 and 2021. Not 1920, that'd be a hundred years ago,

02:28that'd be too long. Joe Mixon of the Houston Texans had a fine reissued this time for making

02:33comments about the referees. He went to social media to say how much BS it was and doesn't seem

02:40to really have any filter when it comes to this. But needless to say, Mixon's not even playing and

02:44getting fined for the referees based on last week. Titans general manager, Mike Borgonzi,

02:50says all options are on the table. The Titans have the number one overall pick in the draft.

02:55He met with the media yesterday and certainly with several months to go before it all happens,

03:00he's not going to tip his hand as to who they like. It's early, we just started. You know,

03:05the first thing we're talking about is our roster and then getting down to the Senior Bowl

03:10and the East-West actually first. So we're very early in those discussions.

03:17You mentioned that nothing, all options are on the table. I imagine same thing in your eyes.

03:23Yes, we're coming into this, I'm coming in with this an open mind,

03:27but we're going to evaluate every situation and make the best decision for us with that pick.

03:33We're in the NBA last night, a battle of two potential finalists in the East and West.

03:38Houston's a little bit of a long shot, but man, they have looked fantastic. They beat the Cavs

03:42109 to 108. Aimee Udoka has done such a great job since heading over to Houston. Of course,

03:47he was let go by Boston for some indiscretions, as they say, several years ago. Udoka, not all

03:53that excited, by the way. I know they had a lead in this one and certainly Cleveland came back.

03:57He talked about the outcome after the game. I think we were not aggressive enough in the zone.

04:05We got in the middle a few times and had opportunities to look to score and got in

04:09the dunk or kick out. So wide open to miss those. And it kind of bogged us down a little bit.

04:14Obviously, you know, 39.1st quarter, 33.3rd quarter. They went to zone to slow it down and

04:21we needed to get stops to get out and run a little bit and didn't really convert in transition. So

04:26allowed them to sit in the zone a little bit, but got some decent looks. Obviously, Fred

04:31hit the two big threes. Chandler got some really good looks out of there as well. So you make those

04:35a little bit different. Maybe they don't stand as much, but credit to them. We weren't great

04:40against it and let them back in the game. How important was your bench tonight?

04:46Big. It was like, it felt like right from the beginning, they came in and gave us some extra

04:50juice. Love the physicality. You know, Tari Cam, Steven came in with where we were a little flat

04:56early, you know, and kind of ramped it up, obviously, to get that 39.1st quarter. But

05:01overall, really good job by all of them. Jay Sean as well, guarding. And yeah, we needed it tonight.

05:07Some guys were a little flat and the bench gave us a good boost. Meanwhile, the story of the first

05:12half of the NBA season has obviously been the Oklahoma City Thunder and they continue to roll.

05:17Another win yesterday, 36-7 on the season. And the favorite on the FanDuel Sportsbook to win

05:24the MVP, it's clear-cut. It's Shea Gilgis Alexander. Another 54-point performance last

05:30night, 123-114. Not going to hand him the MVP just yet. There's a long way to go, certainly,

05:37but SGA trying to live in the present as opposed to the future. Yeah, I just try to stay in the

05:43moment. I try to be as aggressive and as intelligent as I can be in every moment.

05:54Make the right play and make the play that I'm comfortable making. And no matter the moment or

06:00the situation, I try not to waver from that. And it's been going well for me. It's something that

06:08I had to learn, I guess you could say, the hard way. But yeah, taking that approach has really

06:14helped me, for sure. Did it feel like 54? It did not. I felt like I could have had a lot more and

06:21I know it's going to sound very spoiled, but I feel like I didn't really have that great of a

06:26night. Left a few on the table, but there's room to improve and that's a good thing.

06:31Shea, you told Gallo after the game that you had a few more points tonight,

06:36but nothing special. Yeah. Why do you say that? Why is it nothing special?

06:42Like, I feel like I wasn't my best tonight, like regardless of what the scoreboard says.

06:46I feel like I could have been better. Offensively, shot making a little bit,

06:52and then a couple of reads. But that comes with the game. You're not going to be perfect all the

06:58time. I feel like I've had better games this season, even though it didn't look like it on

07:02the score sheet. That's just me chasing growth as opposed to an outcome. That's what that comes from.

07:13Right now, minus 600 on the FanDuel Sportsbook is SGA to win the MVP. That's a big favorite for

07:19the month of January. Also, last night, Brown and Tatum, they went off. They led the Celtics

07:25past the Clippers, 117 to 113. Jalen had 25, Jason had 24. And also in the Mavs and Wolves game,

07:33Jaden Daniels had 27 points and the Wolves outlasted the Mavs by a point, 115 to 114.

07:41The storm is coming, as they say. St. John's wins again last night. This time,

07:46they beat Xavier, final 79 to 71. Expect St. John's to be a top 15 team in the country,

07:53headed toward next week. Fans are starting to show up. And of course,

07:57the head man Rick Pitino knows all about success in the Big Apple.

08:00It's all about winning in New York. If you win, people will show up. And we know that.

08:06And we're winning right now. We're bringing St. John's back to where it needs to be.

08:12It's a shame Lou's not alive. He'd be very proud of his team the way they fight.

08:18But we really, really want to get St. John's back where it belongs.

08:24And we just keep winning and winning, and that'll take care of itself.

08:28A couple of notes in college basketball last night. The Gators beat South Carolina,

08:3270 to 69. Texas A&M beats Ole Miss, 63 to 62. Kansas beats TCU, 74 to 61.
