Does Kyrie Irving Really Love Basketball? & Super Bowl champion Brady Poppinga

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick thought on Kyrie Irving's peculiar press conference in which he attributed his 2-week hiatus from the team to 'just needing a pause'. Interesting. That's not to say Kyrie didn't have legitimate personal issues that kept him away ,but by not revealing an exact reason he definitely leaves things open to interpretation. In fact, one could argue that Kyrie's disappearing act in the middle of the season, coupled with a quick glance at his social media history, that maybe he just doesn't love basketball that much. Unlike the rest of the top stars in the NBA, he doesn't have a single basketball-related image on Instagram page. Again, interesting. This is something to keep an eye on as the Brooklyn Nets navigate the rest of their season. Later, Super Bowl champion Brady Poppinga swings by to discuss what it was like playing alongside Aaron Rodgers during his first Super Bowl run, why it wasn't surprised to see Rodgers perform so well after the Green Bay Packers drafted Jordan Love in the first round, why he believes New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill is the most over-criticized player in the NFL, why he sees flashes of Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes in BYU quarterback Zach Wilson and why believes Wilson is definitely the 2nd best quarterback prospect in the upcoming NFL Draft, how Mahomes concussion could play a big role in the AFC Championship game - even if he does get cleared to play, and much more!
