On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a very quick thought on Kevin Durant's return against the New Orleans Pelicans. KD looked like the Durant of old, albeit against a depleted New Orleans Pelicans. Later, ESPN senior writer and author Seth Wickersham swings by to preview his upcoming book 'It's Better to Be Feared: The New England Patriots Dynasty and the Pursuit of Greatness'. In the interview, Wickersham discusses the difficulties of interviewing guys like Bill Belichick and Tom Brady before and during a pandemic, why Belichick's criticisms of his quarterback inside the Patriots locker room were partly the reason why Brady decided he had to leave (10:00), how Bill Parcells' coaching style with the New York Giants influenced Belichick's style with the Patriots, if we can expect to see a 'kinder and gentler' version of Belichick next season after his tumultuous season in 2020, why it's hard to determine how friendly Belichick and Brady are today, how Brady and Rob Gronkowski were able to adjust to football life outside of the 'Patriot Way', and much more!
