AI Is Scary. The Giants Are Fun. Let's Talk Football.

Max and Rich take a quick detour into the AI doomsday talk dominating headlines this week before diving into what actually matters: Week 1 of the NFL. John Harbaugh bullied the Cowboys in his Giants coaching debut, Patrick Mahomes looked electric in his return, and the Bears and Panthers played the highest-scoring Week 1 game in NFL history. Plus: what happened to Deshaun Watson and the fallout from Steve Ballmer's Clippers penalty as Kawhi Leonard heads to Toronto.
