Surprise twist this week: Jackson had to step out last minute — but we kept the Buds Mafia rolling with a special guest co-host... Ryan’s older brother Jack.

We hit a ton of NHL + NFL ground in this one:

🏒 Mock trades, RFA signings, and what the Leafs’ opening night roster could actually look like

💰 Predicting landing spots + price tags for big names in the 2026 NHL UFA class

🤝 Jack weighs in on the McTavish-to-Vancouver rumors — but says the price has to be right

🔥 Bryan Rust to Toronto? We’re intrigued.

Then we jump over to the NFL:

🐯 Shemar Stewart finally signs after wild Bengals owner comments

💸 Hendrickson still unsigned, Micah Parsons still waiting, and Terry McLaurin wants 33M+

🛑 Christian Wilkins gets cut, Russ gets the start, and Justin Fields is banged up again

📊 Full breakdown of the NFC North + South — Jack’s calling Detroit and Tampa to run it back.

👀 Could the Bears surprise? Or are they still in the gutter?

🎯 PGA picks, weekly locks, “Bet the Farm,” and more chaos as always.

Just because Jackson’s out doesn’t mean the content slows down. Let’s ride.
