Giannis Staying in Milwaukee is Bad for the NBA & Actor Jerry O'Connell

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by sharing his thoughts on Giannis Antetokounmpo's decision to forego free agency and sign a supermax contract to stay with the Milwaukee Bucks. On the surface it sounds like a heartwarming story, but the reality is that player movement and the formation of Super Teams is what makes the NBA such a hot topic year round. By staying in Milwaukee, Giannis has removed a piece off the board and actually hurt the League in the process. Plus, actor Jerry O'Connell swings by to discuss what it was like working alongside bombshells like Mariah Carey and Jennifer Love Hewitt, how he still gets recognized for some of the more iconic roles he had in the past, how he caught the fantasy football bug when he worked on the movie 'Jerry Maguire' (even if he's thinking about quitting after this season), why a bad beat involving the New York Yankees back in the day is why he longer gambles on sports these days, why he as a long-suffering New York Jets fan has a soft spot for the Los Angeles Chargers now that he's moved to Los Angeles, what it's like to talk sports with the Hall of Famers in his neighborhood like Willie McGinest and Eric Dickerson, and much more!
