Jason answers mailbag questions about his NBA player rankings including why he has Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry ranked higher than New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson and why he would have Indiana Pacers playmaker Tyrese Haliburton ahead of Brunson if he were healthy. He also discusses Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers compared to Indiana Fever sophomore Caitlin Clark, why the Miami Heat closed games with Dwyane Wade and LeBron James together despite the analytics showing the team was better with D-Wade off the floor, how he got into sports media, whether LeBron James or Michael Jordan is a better shooter, and more.

The hype was real, but Arch Manning just got handed his first big test, and Ohio State wasn’t messing around. John reacts to Texas-OSU as he breaks down every angle of the Longhorns’ loss, what this means for Arch moving forward, and how Texas stacks up after getting punched in the mouth by the Buckeyes. Credit where it’s due, Ohio State looked pretty solid, and that defense showed up.

We also take a look around the college football world, including Deion Sanders’ rough debut at Colorado, and why the Buffaloes looked completely unprepared.
