The Best Takes and Moments from this week on the show. Enjoy. After trading for Logan Wilson, Dallas followed it up by trading a hawk.

first and a second, I believe, for Quentin Williams. Yep. Jerry Jones is talking about how he wants to win now because of his age. Doesn't kind of seem like their season is already over? Well, their season's definitely already over. And I explained this in short form on TV, but I am going to lay it out further here. They barely, barely got more for Micah Parsons. than they traded away for Quentin Williams.

So let's do the actual accounting of what the Cowboys got for Micah Parsons, okay? They got the next two Packer first round picks, which we obviously don't know what picks those will be, but this year the Packers right now have the 24, pick of the draft. It would, you know, it could go up if they go on a real playoff run. It could go down if they get bounced in round one. But that's what they have.

And then next year's Packers' first round pick. And they got Kenny Clark. More on him in a moment. For Quinn and Williams, they traded away their own second round pick, which right now would be the 46th pick of the draft. So again, in the Micah Trade and Quinnon Trade, they received what would be the 24th pick and sent out what would be the 46th pick. So a 22 pick jump, we'll see how those move, but that's a good framework. And then they will be sending out whatever is the better pick between their own first,

after next season and the Packers first after next season. So there is no chance whatsoever, none, that for the 2027 first rounder, that they receive a better pick from the Packers than they give to the Jets, because whatever the better pick is, they give to the Jets. And then you add to it that because you have traded for Quinn and Williams and signed OSHA Degazua to an extension, you almost assuredly are this offseason cutting Kenny Clark. The best case scenario for the Cowboys is the difference in draft compensation

they gave up for Quinn and Williams compared to what they received for Micah Parsons is the equivalent of about a third round pick and the worst case scenario is they actually ended up giving up more for Quinn and Williams

than they received for Micah Parsons and you might say how could that be well here's how it could be the Cowboys end up drafting 10th in this year's draft. So that would be second round pick 42. The Packers make it, forget even win the Super Bowl, make it to the conference championship game.

They give up. So they give to Dallas first round pick 29. So that's a 13 pick Delta. Next year, the Packers make it back to the conference championship game. they give Dallas the 29th pick again and next year Dak Prescott gets hurt the Cowboys have a year from hell and they end up getting or hell they just have the same year they had this year where DAC doesn't get hurt

and they but they have a bad year they have the 10th pick of that draft and they give that pick to the Jets it is absolutely on the board that what they receive from Green Bay are two picks in the late 20s, and what they give to the Jets is a pick in the low 40s and a pick in the teams, which is when you are sending out a more valuable younger player, just totally unacceptable.

I understand Quinnon is cheaper than Micah, but that is not enough to offset the difference in value of the players' impact on the field. And so this Cowboys move, even if Quinnin Williams is really good, and I think he is, is as back. a fling of an NFL trade, as you'll see for years. And it totally goes against DeMonsay, Jerry's whole take, which was trading Mika. Defense better. Or stop the run. Well, no, though.

Stop the run part of it, it does work. Because Quino Williams is better at that than Micah. But he kept saying, we'll be able to get three or four players. you got two extra picks for Micah, you gave two extra picks up for Quinnon. And again, the Cowboys agreeing to send the better of the two picks they have in the 2027 draft is unfathomable. Because here's the other piece of it. Let's say Jordan Love a year from now gets hurt.

And the Packers fall off a cliff in a very difficult NFC North. And the Packers have the sixth pick of the draft two years from now. You don't get that now. That goes to the Jets. So it's... Right in line with everything else that's been going on with the Cowboys and Jerry. It makes sense. It doesn't make sense, but it makes sense for Jerry to be doing it.

Yes. It's just awful business. Now, the Colts piece of it is more understandable, but somehow even riskier. So go ahead. The Colts are seeming to go all in on Daniel Jones. They traded two first rounders to get Sauce Gardner. Do you think that this is a little bit too early for them? I respect the guts.

And unlike the Dallas move, you at least see the logic of it. The logic of it is we have our quarterback. We like our team. We are trying to win right now. Let's add a blue chip player, which Sauce has been at the first two years of his career. He has not been the last year and a half, but, you know, he's young and he's on a cost-controlled deal. They obviously believe he can get back to it. So that's the logic.

of it. It is the exact same logic that led to the dolphins trading for Tyreek, that led to the Packers trading for Micah. We love our team, think adding one more piece can put us over the top. So I understand it. I think it's one of the riskiest moves I have seen a team make in 10 years. So here are the circumstances over the last decade, DeMonze, that teams have traded away multiple first round picks for a player, not during the draft, but for an established player. The Chicago Bears traded two first round picks for Khalil Mack.

They did that one year after spending the second pick of the draft on Mitch Trubisky. They were wrong, but they thought we've got our quarterback. Let's go add to the defense. The Rams traded two first round picks away for Jalen Ramsey. They did that months removed from going to the Super Bowl with golf. they said, we've got our quarterback, let's add to the defense. Again, they ended up souring on that quarterback, but they believed they had the quarterback. The Jets, I'm sorry, the Seahawks traded away two first round picks for Jamal Adams in 2020.

They believed Russell's, you know, going to be our quarterback long term. Let's go add another piece. Again, that trade was a catastrophe. but they had real reason to believe their quarterback was in place. Obviously, the Packers traded away two first rounders for Micah, and I might be leaving one out. For the Colts to be doing this, not only when it's just been a half season of good Daniel Jones,

and this part's important to Monzae, they don't even have Daniel Jones locked up on a contract, is stunning. I mean, the bears, go ahead. I mean, Daniel, like Daniel could leave or something or leave them high and dry or? No, but they are now over a barrel on. Oh, it's, yeah, 100% because when it comes time,

cap's face is already too high. That's fair. Well, and it's the, it's, how are you going to replace me? You don't have a first round pick this year or next year. Yeah. And the franchise tag number is $46 million. Daniel Jones strikes me as a team friendly type of guy. Buddy, he already got four years 160 from the Giants when they were in this situation.

I don't. No, no. Like the, he, the cults have put themselves in a position now where Daniel is going to get, I'll call my shout on. it right now four years 180 million dollars 45 million dollars a year and the other piece of it that is wildly risky if you're the cults is they even if you believe daniel jones is just good bad circumstances, bad luck, bad coaching with the Giants. Dating back to his last year of college, there has been one season he was fully healthy.

So you are putting all, in college he broke his collarbone in the pros, he's torn his ACL, had a neck injury, an ankle, out of hamstring. you are putting all your eggs in this basket in a way that is stunning to me. Stunning. They have painted themselves in a corner where, yep, we saw eight good games from Daniel Jones. I know they've played nine, but the last one was awful. Eight good games from Daniel Jones. And now we are going to remove any ability we have to pivot at that position.

And it's gutsy. It is, it, it's a real go-all-in move. I just wonder how it's going to feel if this season ends with them hosting a wildcard playoff game against the Patriots and getting beat. And they're won and done. And it's like, okay, this is just our team.

Now, I wouldn't have done it. I also think it is fair to ask, is that too much to pay for any corner? Oh, yeah. Yeah, for any corner. is a lot. And so, like, would it shock anyone? Here's the question I would have.

Because when the Packers traded for Micah, it was, it would have shocked people if the Packers this year ended up with the ninth pick of the draft. Right? Like, that would have been stunning. Right. Would it shock? Would it be shocking?

if next year at this moment, the cults are 3 and 6, would that shock people? Wouldn't shock me. And so it is, their past defense was bad. Luana Rumo now has a great, probably the best corner he's ever had since he's been a coordinator. It's a hell of a move, but it would have been too rich for my blood. That's the thing. The Cowboys and the Colts making moves that I think would have been insane for the Chiefs or the Bills to make is something else. All right, let's get to the other side of these.

The Jets, they now have five first round picks over the next two years. So surely they can't mess this up, right? They're probably going to get on the track. Well, I mean, this is the exact situation they found themselves in, which got him Quinnin and Sauce and Garrett Wilson. And then they, you know, they're now full blown blowing it up. Just got to get the quarterback right. Yeah. So I respect the Jets recognizing we are nowhere close.

And by the time we get close, Quinnin is probably out of his. prime right he turns 28 here in a couple weeks and sauce i'm sure they wanted to keep but two first is just too rich of a price particularly when it's two first from again from a team that's not like an established every year good team um and so now yeah you've got a draft smart and if i'm the jets I am potentially in this year's draft, I'm open for business as well. I might move down. If there's not a quarterback I love,

I might be willing to trade my own pick, which could be the first, second, third, fourth pick of the draft for even more draft capital and try to full on fully rebuild the team. it is good process they just have to hit on these players and i understand people can say out the drafts a crapshoot here's the thing it yes the draft is a crap shoot but the fact of the matter is this if you have a no doubt franchise quarterback on your team unless your team unless your quarterback's name is

Dak Prescott or Jalen Hertz, that quarterback was taken in round one. People can talk all this stuff about, oh, well, you can find quarterbacks anywhere. Every single team

that has the no doubt franchise quarterback, that quarterback was a first round pick except for Dak and Jailer. that's it. Like who are the no doubt franchise quarterbacks? They were first round picks.

So the Jets acquiring a bunch of first round picks for a team that hasn't been able to get quarterback right is obviously something they need to do. And so I don't begrudge them that. I do feel badly for their fans because it's just perpetual reasons. build. Dustin Fields too, man. It's like we just gave away everybody because you're trash. Well, yeah. I mean, Fields isn't the guy.

I mean, he just, he isn't the guy. All right. Today's show is brought to you by our new presenting sponsor, Hard Rock Bet.

We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys?

I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And, well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.

But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis. and I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris,

every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Jenchian win. I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lerabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now, and I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck.

We just wrapped up the first half of the NFL season with Sunday. So this is a perfect time to talk about Bonnie James. Let's do it.

So here's the deal. And this is a little about Bernie. and this is more about media criticism. But a little over, a little less than a year ago, we were in full-blown Brony James meltdown in the media about the scourges of nepotism and LeBron forcing the Lakers into such a mistake and pleading with LeBron as a father to stop this farce and

folks claiming that their heart just goes out to the other potential draftees who got snubbed because the Lakers wasted the 55th pick on Brani. and now the last two games, the Lakers, who are super short-handed, Sunday night, we're in a tight game with Miami, played Brony in Crunch Time, he played really good defense, had one awesome driving kick for a critical three, and they won. 18 minutes a solid, you know, end of the bench performance. And then yesterday,

in a game where LeBron was out, Luca was out, and Austin Reeves was out. They called on Brani again against the Blazers when the Blazers were double-digit favorites. And Brani played 19 minutes.

had six assists, had no turnovers, and the Lakers won again. Now, do I think Brony is a great player? Obviously not. Do I think Brony is even going to be a rotation guy this year for the Lakers when they're healthy? No. Do I think if we are going to be fair and we are going to look at this objectively, we should say, hey, how does his production up to this point in the season compare to the other guys drafted in the second half of the first round? I think that's fair.

So if you go picks 45 through, I think there were only 58 in that draft, oddly, instead of 60, and you're like, oh. So of those 14 guys, seven of this. him are not on an NBA roster. So, you know, he certainly is providing more value than those seven. Of those 14 guys, only Quentin Post, Jamal Shed, and Cam Spencer have played more minutes. Okay. Of those 14 guys, only Jamal Shed and Cam Spencer have more assists. of those 14 guys, only Cam Spencer has more steals.

Of though, now, Brony is, his field goal percent is like 20 percent. He hasn't shot much, but I think he's, you know, I think he's one for, I think he's two for 11 on the season. So obviously he's not, it's not shooting the ball. Well, he's not shooting the ball much. But you look at that draft and all the crying that was done. pick 47 has not played is not on a roster pick 48 has played 11 minutes pick 49 pick 50 51 has not played or on G league teams pick 52 Quentin Post has actually been solid for the

warriors and pick 53 cam spencer's been solid for the grizzlies pick 55 not on a roster, pick 55, Brony, pick 56, pick 57, G League, or not on a roster, and pick 58, Huckporty, apologies, has played 40 minutes for the Knicks and has been given, you know, slightly less production than Brony right in line with it. whole point is brony james has been a slightly above average late second round pick that's what he's been as a pro a slightly above average late second round pick that's it

and the folks that used him as a cudgel because they hate LeBron should be embarrassed. That's the Brony James update. Good for him for being pressed into service, for all of a sudden a frisky Lakers team that got a win as a double-digit underdog without its three best players. And good for him for playing his first ever

crunch time NBA minutes the night before and just looking the part of, oh yeah, that looks like the 11th best guy on an NBA team. That's what he looks like. Happy for the young man. Yeah, I'm happy for him. And so, it was, it was, I thought, embarrassing some of the coverage last season when he had that bad five-minute stretch, I forget even who it was against.

And I'm glad that he didn't let that throw him. And so good for him. Luca's been absolutely historically great in the games he's played. only wilt has ever scored more points through the opening five games of a season and he did it twice than Lucas even 200 through the first five games this year and the listen the spurs have been excellent and i understand the spurs are dealing with injuries of their own but it is hard not to look at the Lakers with no LeBron, with Austin having missed time, and obviously Luke has missed some time as well, sitting at 7 and 2, alone and second place in the Eastern Conference, only behind the Thunder

and obviously, I shouldn't say obviously, and shockingly, the Chicago Bulls for overall record in the NBA. But it's very hard to look at Luca doing what he's doing and the Lakers sitting at 7 and 2 and then not also look at the Mavericks doing what they're doing, sitting in dead last in the Western Conference at 2 and 6 and not revisit what is, will go down in history as one of the most inexplicable, indefensible, unforced errors of franchises ever made. And I know there was a very brief moment when people were like, well, now that they've gotten Cooper flag, maybe it all works out.

Demonsay, I'm here to tell you, if Nico Harrison today called up Rob Polinka and said, we will trade you Anthony Davis and Cooper flag for Luca Donchich. They would say no. That is and the how good is Luca

really conversation that was briefly had last year was categorically insane from start to finish and up to this moment of the season he's been either the best or the second best player in the sport.

Janus is playing at a just incomprehensible level, and Luca has missed time. But Luca giving you a nice, tidy 40, 11, and 9 on 50% shooting, despite shooting 30% from 3, has just been not shocking because you know how good he is but remarkable and it's why you know

a lot of people this isn't me picking on Bill but Bill probably the most noteworthy of the folks that coming into the year were just totally unabashedly unequivocally writing the Lakers off

as having any chance, any chance to be a real contender. And the reason that struck me as a little myopic was, man, if you have, all of NBA history tells us, if you have a clear cut top three guy, unless the team is just in total shambles around him, you're at least contender adjacent. and Luca has been a clear-cut top three guy. Obviously, again, Neonis has been great. Shea has been unbelievable, and the Thunder losing last night is shocking

because it's shocking that they lose. That team is going to win 70 games if they want to. But the Lakers surviving this stretch of no LeBron, Luca in and out of the lineup, beating the spurs who have been red hot. Reeves has been out a little bit too. And now, say it again. Even Reeves has been out.

Like all their men guys. Yeah, I mean, and Reeves obviously playing great. And now if you're the Lakers, I don't know when LeBron's coming back. But over the next two weeks, you have Atlanta, Charlotte, OKC, brutal. New Orleans, Milwaukee, that's a road trip, and then Utah, Utah.

So you've got seven games over the next two and a half weeks. All of them on the road except for one game against Utah before you start a homestand, which is maybe where they would hope LeBron could come back. and the expectation should be to go 5 and 2 in that 7 game stretch at the very least 4 and 3 and be 11 and 5, 12 and 4 through the first month and a half of the season, well, really the first month of the season, which would be phenomenal. And so Luke is just, playing out of his mind. Just absolutely out of his mind. And Austin, when Luca wasn't there,

was playing out of his mind. And you thought I was going to skip it, DeMonsei. Credit words do. You got some minutes last night. No, no, no, no, no. I'm not talking Brani. I'm talking, I'm, I'm talking, I don't know if it's fair to call him your guy, but. Tandre Aiton. Yeah. Dominant. Yeah, he showed up last night. He's been good. He was really rough very early on, but 22 and 10 last night, when they were super short-handed, 29 and 10 against the Blazers, no, he's been, he's played well for him. And so fair is fair.

Credit to Belinka, a lot of credit to JJ Redick, who has the, team ready to play every night. And Jake La Ravia's done well. They're legit. They're legit. Seven and two beating the Spurs without Austin Reeves. And obviously no LeBron. And they did try to blow it at the end, but whatever.

Like, that's a real win. That's a real win. Did you? No. Not at all. Now, I didn't. I didn't write them off because of the respect for Luca and because I felt like when LeBron comes back,

they'll still be one of the only teams in the league with two top 10 guys. We'll see what LeBron is this year, but last year he was a clear top eight guy. But no, I didn't think they'd be able to handle LeBron missing the first 10 games plus, Austin being out of the lineup some, Luca being out of the lineup some and I mean they've been they've been excellent by the way if you're thinking about upgrading to the all new iPhone 17

Every episode, we're cutting through the noise. Breaking down the plays, the controversies, and the stories behind the headlines. We go straight to the source, the athlete themselves. Their locker room stories, their reactions, the stuff nobody gets to hear. The laughs, the drama, the triumphs, the moments that never make the highlight real. From viral moments to historic games, from buzzer beaters to controversial calls, we break it down, give you context and ask the questions everybody wants answered. Sports slice brings you closer to the action.

I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast,

I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Jenchian went. I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lena Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now.

And I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of I. I heart women's sports. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games.

Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

All right, DeMonse, all our lines from Hard Rock Bet. We've got five games here. Let's go to the first one. First off, you've got Atlanta plus six and a half versus Indy. Yeah, so this was Atlanta minus or plus five and a half. Plus five and a half. This is also a Berlin game. Yes, Sunday morning.

This is Atlanta plus five and a half before the Colts traded for. sauce. That's stupid. That is fans overreacting to a trade. A corner does not move the point, the game a full point. It just doesn't. And

so I'm getting a little extra value. I also feel like I know the Europe games favorites tend to win and win outright in cover, I think. I know they went out right a lot.

It feels like this is a one possession game. I do think that Atlanta's defense might be able to slow down a bit that's prolific indie offense. I also feel like this indie team is different on turf on a fast track than it's going to be in Berlin. And I could see Atlanta winning. I certainly can see Atlanta having this game be tied at halftime or a four-point game in the fourth quarter. Bejohn's got to get going.

Drake London was awesome, unbelievable this past week. And I, pinnics worries me, but I'll take the extra point I'm getting because of the sauce trade, and I'll take Atlanta plus the six and a half. All right, next. Tampa Bay minus two and a half versus New England. Yeah, I think, I think New England's really good. But Tampa, I think, is better. They are off a buy.

The Patriots were flirting with a loss last week that, you know, they are kind of due for a loss, so to speak. Drake May is getting hit a ton. And he admitted some of that's on him. That concerns me a bit. off a buy, 4-0 straight up as a favorite, and 6 and 4 against the spread with extended rest with the bucks. Again, I'm getting what I think is the better team, and there's no disrespect to New England, the better team with the better quarterback at home off a buy, and I'm laying less than

a field goal. So as good as New England's been, I think Tampa wins this game, and I think Tampa, but wins this game by at least a field goal. So I've got Tampa minus two and a half. Next. Jacksonville minus one at Houston. Yeah, this is just purely a... Who has the better offensive line?

Oh, yeah, but... Fating Davis Mills. I mean, the Texans' offense was awful with CJ. I wasn't even thinking about CJ Stroud not playing. Yeah, that being minus one for the Jags, I think it's kind of crazy. Yeah, I mean, Davis Mills has started amazingly 25 games in his career. They're 519 and 1 in those games. And so the Jags defense is really good.

I understand it's, you know, a road divisional favorite, but the Broncos offense was awful this past week. Now, Houston's defense has something due with it to their credit. but Houston could do nothing because CJ was out of the game and CJ's already been ruled out. So I'll just swallow the point with the Prince. It's bad for the Chiefs, by the way, if the Jags win this game. The Chiefs need one of those teams in the playoff picture to fall out. The Jags are the one most likely to do so.

But I just think the Jags are the better team. That line could have been minus three, three and a half. I feel like, and it was weird. With Davis, with Davis Mills being the quarterback, I'll just take Houston just to win. It's all I need at minus one. So I'll take Jacksonville next. Next you got Chicago minus three and a half versus the Giants. So I'm going to continue fading the Giants because my belief that the Giants season ended with that devastating Broncos loss has just been validated by their last two performances, getting a lot.

annihilated by the Eagles and getting beat by double digits by the Niners. Jackson, I don't want to say it, but he's hurt right now. Yeah, that's a great point. Yeah. Jackson Darts banged up. Scataboo's out, obviously, for the year. Neighbors has been out.

Brian Davel, after starting seven and two as a rookie head coach, they have started two and seven each of the last three years. He's just always mad at everyone. He's just mad at himself. and the Bears have an explosive offense. And by the way, a little benefit, this line is four and a half in most other places. It's three and a half at Hard Rock Bet.

My theory on that for the record is hard rock bet, obviously you can use it in Jersey, so Giants fans there. It's also the exclusive betting provides. in Florida, a lot of New York transplants there. So I think it has been bet down from four and a half plus four and a half to three and a half because all that money's coming in on the Giants. They're trying to get some Chicago money.

We'll take advantage of it. Chicago minus three and a half. And I just don't trust the Giants defense right now. And I think that their spirit was stolen in that Broncos law. So I'll lay three and a half with Caleb. That one might be my favorite. Pittsburgh plus three at the Chargers. Yeah, I,

the Chargers without Joe Alt against an all of a sudden one game, but rejuvenated Steelers defense, and I'm getting three points with Tomlin. And so obviously the Steelers have to go east to west, which isn't ideal, but I'll deal with it. Tomlin again, 67, 40, and 4 against the spread as an underdog. And the week after, winning outright as a dog, he's 13, 6, and 2 against the spread. I think the Steelers win this game.

And if they don't, I think it's a last second type of game. I'm getting three points. So our five games are Atlanta getting six and a half against Indy and Berlin. Tampa laying two and a half at home against the Patriots. Jacksonville laying one on the road against Houston. Chicago laying three and a half at home against the Giants and Pittsburgh getting the full three on the road against the Chargers. Oh, one other thing about that Steelers game.

That's going to be a silent count game for the Chargers, DeMonse. That's going to be all Steelers fans taking over SoFi in L.A. And so that's the other piece. not really a road game for them. Hey guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what?

We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick.
