  Eagles or Cowboys? Patriots or Bills? Plus Kawhi’s NBA Mess

  Aug 17, 20261 hour

  Good afternoon. It is August 17th, 2026. You're listening to A Little Column A, Little Column B, hosted by Will Alimonos and Zach Bishop. Will and Zach kick things off with an astonishing baseball story as St. Louis Cardinals rookie outfielder Joshua Baz becomes the first player in MLB history to hit home runs in his first three major-league at-bats. The historic debut sparks a conversation about expectations, the timing of call-ups, and the strange records that make baseball unique. Then it’s time for the NFC East preview. The guys break down the Eagles, Cowboys, Commanders, and Giants, including Philadelphia’s roster changes following A.J. Brown’s departure, Saquon Barkley’s fantasy value, and questions surrounding Jalen Hurts, Jayden Daniels, and Jackson Dart. They debate which team should be favored to win the division, who could finish last, how coaching changes could reshape the standings, and which players they’re targeting or avoiding in fantasy football. Next up is the AFC East, where Will and Zach see New England and Buffalo as the two legitimate contenders for the division crown. That leads to a Drake Maye vs. Josh Allen discussion, questions about Miami following a turbulent offseason, Malik Willis’s opportunity, the Jets’ quarterback situation, and more fantasy targets and avoids from around the division. The episode closes with an extended NBA discussion. The guys return to the Clippers/Kawhi Leonard investigation and the conflicting reporting surrounding the story before digging into the NBA schedule, the in-season tournament, and the league’s opening-night format. They also discuss the Buss family selling its remaining Lakers stake and what the deal says about soaring NBA franchise valuations. Finally, Will and Zach reflect on Russell Westbrook’s retirement, his career and legacy, and the strange point on the sports calendar where football is arriving just as another NBA season begins to creep into view.

  Good afternoon — August 10, 2026. Hosts Will Alimonos and Zach Bishop return for a wide-ranging episode of Little Column A, Little Column B, opening with the latest developments in the Kawhi Leonard/Aspiration saga. The pair break down Pablo Torre’s new reporting, including another alleged no-show deal, connections between the Aspiration revelations and a scoreboard manufacturer linked to the Clippers, and what the growing scandal could mean for Kawhi, the Clippers and the NBA. They debate when the league will finally make a decision, what an appropriate punishment would look like, who actually gets hurt by potential penalties, and whether the story will ultimately result in meaningful consequences. Then it’s officially football season. Will and Zach begin their NFL division previews with the NFC North, evaluating the Lions, Bears, Packers and Vikings. They look at strength of schedule, defensive concerns, injuries and each team’s path to winning the division. The conversation also turns to fantasy football, including concerns about Justin Jefferson’s value and potential draft targets across the division. The AFC North is next, with Baltimore setting the standard and Cincinnati remaining an intriguing challenger despite questions about its defense. Will and Zach debate Lamar Jackson versus Derrick Henry from a fantasy perspective, Pittsburgh’s uncertain direction, Cleveland’s chaotic quarterback situation and which teams could surprise or disappoint. They finish the division with their favorite fantasy targets, avoids and predictions. Rounding out the episode are lighter but memorable stories, including Doc Rivers’ Hall of Fame induction and a discussion about coaching legacies; Akron football’s wild season-ticket promotion that allows a fan to help script the team’s opening offensive possession; and the University of Michigan experimenting with a first-semester pass/no-pass system for freshmen.

The NBA discussion continues with trade speculation, stalled deals, front-office uncertainty, the league's new lottery rules, and which teams could emerge as surprise contenders. They also examine how League Pass and the balance of power across both conferences could be affected heading into the new season.
