Episode description

The NBA and the NFL had a lot going on. That's right, the NFL, even in the off season, is always an intriguing watch. Combine. Draft. Trades. Rumors. I covered it all.

Kevin Durant dropped 31 points on the Miami HEAT and it still wasn't enough to win the game. It is impressive how dominant he looked. Hasn't been on the court since January 15th and came back looking like a world beater. The HEAT looked even more impressive pulling this one out while Lowry, Jimmy Butler and P.J. Tucker were absent due to injury.

Even better news for the HEAT, Victor Oladipo returns on Monday March 7th and makes his debut against his former team the Houston Rockets. Oladipo is definitely a much-needed piece on the defensive end. It'll surely take him some time to get up and running on the offensive side. 


NFL News

The NFL Combine still going on. Coverage of Day 2 starts today at 4.

WRs are making headlines. 9 WRs ran sub 4.4s 40s. That officially makes this the fastest group of receivers to come through any draft. 

Rumors

There are trade rumors about teams looking to trade for Veteran QBs as opposed to drafting their next starter. They say it's because of the lack of star QBs in this year's class. While that could be true, I think it's more posturing by GMs in order to better position themselves for the draft. 

Other Rumors

Browns looking to pair Garrett Wilson with Baker Mayfield. Doubtful. Wilson is really small for a receiver and for a football player in general. 

Kayvon Thibodeaux has no drive? More smokescreens by GMs hoping other teams buy this and leave an opening for them to scoop him up. He's a top 5 pick. 

Titans GM Jon Robinson says he's not looking for Tannehill's replacement. Instead, he's looking for someone who will come and sit behind him, learn, grow, and eventually take over.
