Reese, Pam and Alex discuss the sale of the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Los Angeles Lakers sale has been a pretty remarkable turn of events. In 2025, Mark Walter bought majority control of the Lakers from the Buss family at a then-record valuation of $10B. The Buss family kept a minority stake, and Jeanie Buss remained involved as the team’s governor. Now, just about 14 months later, Walter has reportedly agreed to sell controlling interest to a group led by Josh Kushner and former Disney CEO Bob Iger for $12.5B, which would set another record for the most valuable sports franchise sale. The deal still requires NBA approval. Walter would make about $2.5B in value on the transaction in a little over a year. There has also been reporting about federal scrutiny surrounding some of Walter’s financial dealings, leading to speculation that financial or liquidity concerns could have played a role in his decision to sell, although that has not been established as the reason. Under the proposed deal, the Buss family would remain a minority owner, while Iger and Kushner’s group would take control of the franchise.

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss the latest NFL quarterback storylines surrounding the quarterback rooms of the Minneosta Vikings, Cleveland Browns and Atlanta Falcons and whether race plays a role in how Lamar Jackson is evaluated and criticized.

If Lamar Jackson was white or had a lighter complexion, would the narrative surrounding his career be different? Would he face the same level of scrutiny and criticism, particularly when it comes to his passing ability, leadership and playoff performances?

The Minnesota Vikings have named Kyler Murray their starting quarterback over J.J. McCarthy for the 2026 season. McCarthy was expected by many to take over after being drafted 10th overall in 2024, but injuries slowed his development. The The Falcons’ QB room is centered on Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa, creating a competition for the starting job. The Cleveland Browns’ QB room features Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders, with Dillon Gabriel also somewhat in the mix. Cleveland has not yet settled on its Week 1 starter but is leaning heavily towards Watson or Sanders.
