Episode Synopsis

Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have been indicted for their involvement in a pitch-rigging gambling scheme, and each could face up to 65 years. Entertainment and sports attorney Dan Lust joins Baker Machado to explain this situation and how leagues and sportsbook operators could respond, especially after the recent arrests of Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and Heat guard Terry Rozier for other gambling charges.Plus, Donald Trump wants the Commanders to name their new $3.7 billion stadium after him, but he was met with intense boos from Washington fans before later appearing on Fox's broadcast of Lions-Commanders. FOS newsletter writer Eric Fisher explains the likelihood of the president getting his wish, while FOS Tuned In columnist Michael McCarthy assesses Trump's time in the booth alongside Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma.Also, we are joined by former NFL quarterback Christian Ponder, who reacts to Giants coach Brian Daboll's firing, explains the importance of investing in backup quarterbacks, and compares Jonathan Taylor's MVP case to former teammate Adrian Peterson's back in 2012—the last time a non-quarterback won the award.
