DPOY Arvell Reese? The Last OSU Game for Jeremiah Smith? And the Battle of Talent vs. IQ.

Max Kellerman and Rich Paul tackle the week’s hottest NBA and NFL topics, including whether Giants rookie Arvell Reese is a generational linebacker with Defensive Player of the Year in his sights. Rich also gives his thoughts on his hometown teams: Did the Browns make a mistake by not handing the keys over to Shedeur Sanders after an impressive first start? Is Ohio State’s Ryan Day really on the hot seat, and should superstars like Jeremiah Smith be free to walk away from college football early?Then it’s on to the hardwood. Rich and Max discuss Doc Rivers’s comments about Giannis’s basketball IQ, which sparks a debate: Does talent outweigh IQ for star players in the NBA? To round out the show, they discuss Luka Doncic and Victor Wembanyama emerging as the early MVP front-runners, with Tyrese Maxey lurking right behind.
