605: NFL Free Agent Frenzy/NBA Down the Stretch - The Roundup Podcast, w/ the Guru, Gabe Goldfield

The Roundup Podcast

On today’s show, NFL free agency hit the sports world hard, and while the best players pretty much never hit the open market, there were still some potentially impactful moves. The Steelers are all about 2nd chance QBs, the Texans are building on last year’s success, the Panthers are trying to offer Bryce some more support, the Eagles and Ravens are retooling and the Bears are getting ready for the Caleb Williams era. Meanwhile, we have to wonder, where were the Cowboys during all of this? Plus, is Patrick Mahomes the best individual player in team sports right now? And in the NBA, the Celtics are on pace for maybe a top 20 all time regular season record, but can they seal the season with a title? And in the West, consistency and resilience have been key as the Thunder, the Wolves and Nuggets jockey for the top seed, while some less consistent but star studded teams vie for the 6-10. Plus, some Wemby DPOY discussion, Warriors updates and more in this supersized edition of the show.
