Isaiah also reacts to DeAndre Hopkins beginning his coaching career, the LA Clippers being investigated for salary cap circumvention, and Roger Goodell signing a four year extension to remain the face of the NFL. He also gives a full lockout recap for anyone who needs to catch up and send it to a friend who missed everything, and breaks down the Awareness Lock Lock and its effect on the league going forward. Isaiah then gets into the football season with his Week 1 NFL Picks, laying out his best bets and predictions as the regular season officially gets underway. He also reacts to Jameis Winston signing a two year extension and makes the case for what role the veteran quarterback fills on his new team. On the baseball side, he celebrates a massive milestone as Aroldis Chapman reaches 400 career saves, cementing his place among the greatest closers in the history of the sport.
