Contract Disputes, NFL Division Power Rankings, MLB Trade Deadline, Awards & Last Take Worst Take | S1E15

Prepare for another wild ride on this weeks episode of the Breaks-down as we unpack the latest NFL dramas, dissect the MLB Trade Deadline, and delve into the basketball universe. 

Get ready to dive into the unfolding situation with Jonathan Taylor and his request to be traded from the Colts. We also discuss Joe Burrow’s calf injury and the Sean Payton beef with Nathaniel Hackett (can’t hack it)/ Russell Wilson’s role with the Broncos. (We also talk about how Russ is low-key fat but no one talks about it). Not done yet, we also get into an in depth conversation about Zach Martin’s contract situation, and how contracts don’t mean a thing in pro sports anymore. 

We don’t stop at football. Find out about the MLB trade deadline, Ohtani’s potential value, and Aaron Judge’s much needed return. For hoops fans, we talk about the implications, or lack thereof, of the largest contract in NBA history awarded to Jaylen Brown by the Celtics.

For the meat of the episode, we did a Power Ranking of all the divisions in the NFL. It was one of our best segments yet, so don’t miss out!

As always we finish up with Awards and Last Take Worst Take. The awards in this episode were the Dumb and Dumber Award; the My Sweet Prince Award; the Jerry Jones Award; and the Lincoln Riley Award. As always, you’d never guess who these are going to. 

We leave no stone unturned in our quest to bring you the most engaging, up-to-date sports conversation. Don't miss out on this comprehensive, in-depth analysis of the sports world. Please enjoy Episode 15 of the Breaks-down!
