It’s a two-man Tuesday — Grant and John Browner — and it ends in the funniest place in football: the 49ers’ training camp, which sits next to an electrical substation and has produced nine injuries in five practices.
Mike Evans’ quad, Ricky Pearsall done for the year, hamstrings and calves and ribs everywhere — and the internet has responded by drawing the substation bigger, and more evil, with every new pull. John’s verdict is harsher than the meme: the Niners are cheap, the practice field looks like a prison yard, and — in the night’s instant classic — children are like sponges: you can only squeeze out what you pour in. Before the curse: a Dodgers panic check.
They’re 13-15 since July 1, swept by the Red Sox, dropped a series to the Cubs — and still up big, with Skubal’s six-inning debut wasted by zero run support. John’s message to the freak-out crowd: look at the division lead, this is September spring training, and the Phantom IL is working as intended.
Plus the Padres winning John back exactly as promised on his own show, the Rutschman-to-Boston deal that shames the Skubal package, and a wide-open AL where the Rays have the best record and nobody can name the favorite.
Then the NBA block: why the Spurs standing pat is the smartest move of the summer (Dylan Harper starts, Castle is 6-8 now, and the Harper-Castle war for a $400M contract is coming), John’s prediction that De’Aaron Fox leaves on the first thing smoking, and a full teardown of the Nuggets wasting peak Jokic — cap hell, the homegrown-love disease, and the Jamal Murray trade to New Orleans that John would make tonight.
