Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Drive Guys | Hour 1 | 09.11.26
Q: TJ, did you think that the travel plans of the Rams tripped them up a little bit and left them unprepared to play the game?
TJ suggested that the Rams faced criticism for last-minute travel decisions and jet lag, but he emphasized it's difficult to fully gauge the impact without more context, indicating the travel could have contributed to their struggles but not as the sole factor.
The Drive Guys | Hour 2 | 09.15.26
Q: So let's start here, Hunter. Okay. As you know, we're chatting a little bit about what's going on with the Kings and Jalen Duren. Just give it to us straight, because I know you always do.
Hunter Patterson shares that the Pistons remain interested in keeping Duren but the market is nuanced; talks likely hinge on offers around the 190-205 million total range, with the possibility of a no-trade clause if a qualifying offer is taken, and growing concern about long-term fit and money versus opportunity. He also notes that league sentiment skews toward the Pistons' position but cautions that outside offers could shift leverage as free agency approaches.
The Drive Guys | Hour 2 | 09.04.26
Q: Could the Kings realistically target a playoff seed with Simmons on the roster, and what would be required?
Murray suggested that with the right health, fit, and surrounding shooters, the Kings could contend for a play-in spot; but it would depend on durability and how the front office builds around him.
The Drive Guys | Hour 4 | 09.03.26
Q: How has the quarterback position changed the most since you played and would you throw for four billion yards a year if you played today?
Dan suggests that the surge in passing is largely due to coaches' willingness to throw more, a shift started by Don Coryell and continued by others, and acknowledges the hypothetic nature of such yardage while affirming the trend toward a more pass-heavy game.
The Drive Guys | Hour 3 | 09.04.26
Q: What is the most fantasy leagues Marcas Grant has been in at one time?
Marcas guesses 15 leagues at one time, citing that 11 leagues was the high end he had heard from a former boss, with a playful underbet on the number being lower than 14.
