    Boos, Bijan, and Week 0

    Todd Monken named Deshaun Watson his starting quarterback two days after Watson got booed in his own building and said it was "personal." Since Watson arrived in Cleveland, NFL quarterbacks have thrown for 300 yards 481 times. Watson isn't one of them. Shedeur Sanders is. G, KK and Brandon get into what that decision says about Cleveland — and whether Sanders has any future there past this season.Then to Atlanta, where Kevin Stefanski escaped one quarterback circus and walked into a worse one. Tua Tagovailoa threw five passes in the preseason opener and not one traveled more than five yards. Michael Penix Jr. still isn't cleared for 11-on-11 and just admitted on a podcast that he doesn't trust his own knee. The guys debate which room they'd rather run.Plus: three preseason finales where nobody you know is playing but everybody's job is on the line, Week 0 college football (Hawaii-Stanford, Memphis-UNLV and two programs making their FBS debuts), and a full reaction to the eight new Nike Rivalries uniforms — ranked, rated and roasted.Cutdown day is Sunday. Real football is two weeks out.The Red Zone Blitz — NFL and college football, Canadian-based, no filler.Follow @redzoneblitzpod on Instagram, TikTok and X.

    The Truth About NFL Training Camps

    Training camp is two weeks old and the league is already in shambles — so G, KK and BSAM are here to sort through the wreckage.We start with the money: Zay Flowers just tied Justin Jefferson at $35M a year, and Bijan Robinson became the highest-paid running back in NFL history — both on the SAME day. Is the RB market officially back, and did Atlanta just write Jahmyr Gibbs' contract for him while he sits in a hoodie watching Lions practice?Then it's into the Injury Ward, where four players are already done for the season before a single preseason snap, and the Niners' answer to losing Ricky Pearsall was a nostalgia-fueled Deebo reunion.KK takes the wheel for KK's Kingdom: the Fernando Mendoza waiting game in Vegas (how long does Kirk Cousins actually hold him off?) and the Gibbs hold-in staredown in Detroit — plus the uncomfortable question of whether the Lions' Super Bowl window already slammed shut.Then we debut a brand-new segment: COWBOYS CORNER. G and BSAM— two fans, zero objectivity — break down Christian Parker's new defense, Caleb Downs' arrival, and whether Dak wearing a Super Bowl XXX shirt to camp was inspiring or a cry for help. KK is on troll duty.And finally, the Clip Room double feature: Aaron Rodgers torching Fauci, ESPN, and the Russini scandal live on ESPN's own airwaves… and Will Levis — currently fighting Mitch Trubisky for a BACKUP job — declaring there aren't 32 quarterbacks better than him.
