About this episode

The episode discusses the best and worst expansion franchises in sports, features a conversation with Larry Fitzgerald, and recaps a star-studded wedding event.

Matt Leinart and Jerry Ferrara take a look back at expansion teams in sports history, wondering aloud which is the best and worst franchises. The guys look over everything from logos and uniforms to home crowds and draft history. Plus they ask is Bam Adebayo’s 83-point game going to be a “Where were you when?” moment like Kobe Bryant’s 81-point game. Jerry gives a recap of his star-studded weekend in Texas at Gary Owens’ wedding which doubled as a Think Like A Man reunion. Finally Matt gives a call to his former teammate and fellow legendary Number 11, Larry Fitzgerald to talk about the politics behind coming to a new team and somebody has your number like Mike Evans heading to the San Francisco 49ers where quarterback Brock Purdy wears his iconic number 13.
