Game Over with Max Kellerman and Rich Paul — Season 1, Episode 26: Postdeadline Thoughts, a Generation Gone Soft, and Super Bowl Predictions!
Talk • 53 min • 1 season, 10 episodes
Episode synopsis
Rich is relieved now that the NBA trade deadline has passed, and Max is alongside him to break down which teams were the most aggressive about improving now and for the future (4:53). Also, are the NBA’s soft cap and the NFL’s hard cap actually reversed, and does the NBA need to borrow some of the NFL’s salary flexibility structure? Then, can an injury lead to a dynasty like Steph Curry’s Warriors, and can a team’s drafting continue or end those dynasties (17:28)? Georgetown’s Ed Cooley lamented that kids don't know how to fail today, and Rich explains why this aligns with why he believes youth sports are broken (26:51). Max wonders whether the younger generation has become softer or whether things have just become better for them. Then, it’s on to the big game (35:04)! Max and Rich give their picks for Super Bowl LX, predict who’ll be the star coming out of the game, and talk about why turnovers are the key for the Patriots.
