Chris Brockman kicks off the hour running through the latest news on Deshaun Watson, Patrick Mahomes status for the AFC Championship game, the Lions giving Dan Campbell a head-scratching 6-year contract, and former Jaguars’ head coach Doug Marrone’s new job at Alabama. Vice TV’s Cari Champion and Jemele Hill join Rich to discuss the (sometimes too slow) evolution of ESPN’s flagship show SportsCenter over the decades in the face of changing demands of viewers and sports fans, how their new show ‘Cari & Jemele Won’t Stick to Sports’ exemplifies the trend toward mixing sports and politics, James Harden’s and Deshaun Watson’s use of leverage to extract a more favorable situation for themselves, and what goes in inside the mind of Nets’ enigmatic All-Star guard Kyrie Irving. Rich wraps up the show calling out Mike Del Tufo for (again) not paying attention to the show while the show was live on the air. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
