The AAF has reportedly shown interest in Johnny Manziel who was recently barred from the CFL. We have a official statement from the league on their interest in the former first round pick and why it makes sense for the league to bring Manziel in.

On this episode of Where are they now? We look at how Dakota Allen has gone from Netflix's Last Chance U to the NFL Draft. We look at his journey back to Texas Tech and how he was able to turn his life around to potentially playing in the NFL. I also give you my prediction on which NFL team could bring in the linebacker to their roster for the 2019 season.

On a previous episode of Bold Strategy, I discussed why people shouldn't be surprised if the Cardinals take Kyler Murray with the first overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. On this episode, I look at why the Arizona front office has dropped hints they are looking at a new quarterback and that last year's first round pick Josh Rosen could be playing somewhere else in 2019.

Nick Foles will always be remembered in Philadelphia. However, the Eagles will not place a franchise tag on the Super Bowl MVP and he will become a free agent. I not only talk about the impact Foles had on the Eagles, but why teams interested in his services should think twice about heavily investing in Foles as a franchise quarterback.

Johnny Manziel has not only been released in the CFL but barred by the league. The 22nd overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft has not played in the NFL since 2015 and has been known for his issues off the field. However, should the AAF give him a shot? I break down why it would be a low risk potential high reward situation for the AAF to bring in Manziel.

Zion Williams has been diagnosed with a sprained knee after injuring himself on a bizarre play where his show exploded. On this episode I highlight the reasons why the likely first overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft should sit out the rest of the season at Duke.

Manny Machado has reportedly signed a ten year $300 Million contract with the San Diego Padres. On this episode I reveal why the Padres were so desperate to sign Machado and why this will likely hurt this franchise moving forward. Also, why this signing doesn't make sense with San Diego's current farm system.

Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon has invested $250 Million into the AAF after reports of the league struggling to meet payroll. While many have been saying this is a bad sign for the league, I talk about how Dundon's investment shows faith in the upstart league and why the Alliance is like any starting business.

A new fourth and goal and this one is a good one. We discuss the latest Joe Flacco trade to the Denver Broncos and Antonio Brown officially declaring he wants a trade out of Pittsburgh. We also explore Arizona's recent comments about the first overall pick and why Dak Prescott's comments about Tom Brady are false and could be bad news for the Dallas Cowboys.

On a special Where are they now? We take a look at how the world was introduced to Grammy Award Winner Ariana Grande. Before she became one of the biggest stars on the planet, the world first learned of Ariana Grande in 1998 as a Florida Panthers fan that made history.

The first week of the AAF is in the books. The new league had a great first weekend in terms of ratings and quality of football on the field. On this episode I recap the first week of the Alliance of American Football and talk about what things they are doing to make this league a success. We also look at what great changes this league has already made.

Major League Baseball has suggested new rules that could be eventually implemented in games soon. On this episode Sucks to be... we look into why these rule changes are not only to speed up the game but rather a reaction to baseball losing fans to the other major sports leagues in this country. I break down each rule change and why baseball is desperately trying to appeal to a new generation.

When Bill Belichick sat Malcolm Butler in last year's Super Bowl people ripped his decision. However, this year there hasn't been the same outcry for how Sean McVay only used Todd Gurley sparingly. An MVP candidate this season, Gurley has said he was 100% and the Rams haven't had a good answer for their gameplan. On this episode I talk about how the Rams should be criticized for this decision and...

For the sixth time the New England Patriots are the Super Bowl Champions. On this jam-packed episode we break down the big game from Bill Belichick proving why he's the greatest coach in NFL history. Why it will be hard for the Los Angeles Rams to recover from the loss, what Patriot is playing himself into Canton, and why this could be just the beginning of a new Patriots dynasty. All this and mor...

In the first blockbuster trade of the NBA season the New York Knicks have traded Kristaps Porzingis to the Dallas Mavericks.

Also, I defend the decision by Davis and explain why fans, the media, and organization shouldn't crush the player who requests a trade.
