Rick begins the hour comparing how the Bears could use Justin Herbert’s rookie season with the Chargers as blueprint for Justin Fields’ rookie year in Chicago. San Francisco 49ers Pro Bowl TE George Kittle and Rich discuss his new hairdo and why he might now be mistaken for a bassist in a 1970’s classic rock band, the Niners’ QB competition between Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo, the recent Tight End University symposium he organized in the off-season and how he reacted to Travis Kelce shaving off his beard. Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star 3B Justin Turner and Rich discuss the team’s blockbuster acquisitions of Max Scherzer and Trea Turner at the MLB Trade Deadline, how much Angels castoff Albert Pujols has brought to L.A.’s clubhouse, and if MLB’s crackdown on foreign substances has actually stopped pitchers from cheating. Rich wraps up the hour reacting to Jaguars rookie RB Travis Etienne’s season-ending foot injury, and the announcement that the Pac-12, Big Ten and ACC have entered into an alliance to stave off further SEC expansion efforts.
