589: Grading the NBA Trades: Dame & Jrue & Sunday, Fundays: the NFL thru Week 4 - The Roundup Podcast, w/ the Guru, Gabe Goldfield

The Roundup Podcast

On today’s show, we’re amazed how fast this NFL season has gone by; it’s wild that we’re almost a quarter of the way through the schedule already but it proves the time honored adage that time flies when you’re having fun. The Niners and the Eagles are having a blast out there as the league’s last remaining undefeated teams at 4-0, but it’s always more fun when you’re winning and I’d have to say that based on expectations, after being drafted last 2 years ago, Mr Irrelevant Brock Purdy is probably having the most fun of anyone. The Dolphins have played the most fun style of football so far with their wide open offense, and the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes are always exciting, but having Taylor Swift on their side has made their games fun for the whole family. Lions fans are having a good time for the first time in years, and Bucs fans are probably surprised at how enjoyable their Sundays have been this fall, but not everyone is having fun. Jets fans came in with outsized expectations and have been understandably miserable through 4 weeks, as are Bengals fans, who had realistic Super Bowl aspirations, and injuries to their star QBs have been the main cause for their consternation, but Bears fans can’t even blame injuries for their woes, as the team has seemingly imploded and Justin Fields has definitely had better days. But as an impartial observer, as a fan without any rooting interest, I’m having a great time watching it all unfold each and every Sunday, so shoutout to Stugotz and Billy Gil, God bless football. And as an NBA fan, I’m having fun already and the season hasn’t even started yet, just anticipating the return of hoops and watching the recent flurry of trades that have sent Dame to the Bucks and Jrue to the Celtics. And with MLB’s playoffs starting this week, we’re headed right into the sports eclipse, the most fun time of year for me as a sports fan. So sit back, the NBA announces its presence, the NFL season is as unpredictable as ever, MLB Playoffs are here and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .
