Redemption Bowl, Nike's Decline and the Real Story Behind Tristan Thompson's Payday

Max and Rich break down a Super Bowl LX rematch in Week 1, with Drake Maye and new weapon AJ Brown chasing redemption against the Seahawks — plus the Rams and 49ers making history in Australia, with Aaron Donald staying home. Then it's Nike's fall out of the S&P 100, the biggest draws in sports history, and Rich's never-before-told story of how Tristan Thompson's $82 million standoff with the Cavs really went down. Emails, a voicemail, and Week 1 NFL picks close it out.
