Nikola Jokic is about to get paid like no player before him. The Denver Nuggets are projecting a historic three hundred sixty million dollar extension for their three-time MVP, a number that would set a new benchmark for the entire league. Denver is making it crystal clear — they are not letting Jokic go anywhere.
Shifting to the NFL, Sean Payton came out of Sunday with a message that sounded more like a warning than an excuse. The Broncos head coach said flat out his team has to find a way to play better earlier in games, and when a coach that direct puts it on the record, you can bet the locker room heard every word of it.
And over in college football, Ohio State opens as fourteen and a half point favorites over Iowa heading into Week five of the season. The Buckeyes are looking to lock in their first Big Ten win of the year, and that spread tells you exactly how much the oddsmakers respect the gap between these two programs right now.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
