JAXSON DART INTRODUCED TRUMP… And His Own Teammate Turned On Him

Pull up a lawn chair, because Jaxson Dart just walked on stage, led a "Go Big Blue" chant, and introduced the 47th President of the United States — and the entire NFL world lost it. We're breaking down why the Abdul Carter "thought this was AI" backlash is the dumbest take of the offseason (the two already squashed it, for the record), why anyone shocked that a kid from Utah who played at Ole Miss leans right hasn't been paying attention, and why we're planting our flag: Dart is a legit MVP candidate and the Giants are taking the No. 1 seed in the NFC this year. Yeah, we said it.Then we get to the disrespect. The Cleveland Cavaliers are the most trash team to ever stumble into a conference finals — they limped in at 8-10 in the playoffs after back-to-back seven-game wars, then quit the second the Knicks punched them in the mouth. New York swept them 4-0 and the only competitive game was a Game 1 overtime they still lost. Kenny Atkinson's "expected wins" cope might be the worst postgame quote we've ever heard. LeBron, do NOT come back to this mess.Speaking of New York — the Knicks are winning the title and we'll die on this hill. First Finals since 1999, an 11-game win streak, and they did it with James Dolan somehow staying out of the way and Leon Rose building a starting five without drafting a single one of them. High character, real chemistry, and now a rest advantage while OKC and San Antonio beat each other up. We also get into the LEAST hungover defending champ since the 2019 Warriors (OKC up 3-2), Wemby laying an egg in Game 5, why "Hartenstein" has no extra letters, and why we like the Spurs in Game 6.Plus: the Lakers hired an actual rocket scientist as assistant GM, the All-NBA First Team (SGA, Wemby, Jokic, Luka, Cade) and the 65-game rule getting bent, Jacoby Brissett somehow holding out, a Dodgers prospect getting roasted by the entire internet over a bat-dog incident, and Hooters allegedly going family-friendly — worse rebrand than Bud Light? We have thoughts.📩 Business: takes@lawnchairsportsco.com#LawnChairSports [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/lawnchairsports] #JaxsonDart [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/jaxsondart] #NYGiants [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/nygiants] #Knicks [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/knicks] #NBAPlayoffs [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/nbaplayoffs] #Thunder [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/thunder] #Spurs [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/spurs] #Cavaliers [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/cavaliers] #NFL [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/nfl] #SportsPodcast [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/sportspodcast] #HotTakes [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/hottakes]

The Truth About Why Wemby Was ROBBED of MVP | Ep. 51

Pull up a lawn chair — Episode 51 is here and we are NOT holding back.Wemby got robbed. Unanimous DPOY, 25/11/3 blocks, largest on/off differential in the league, and STILL watched SGA collect his second straight MVP trophy. You saw the footage — Wemby looked like he wanted to commit a crime. Then he dropped 41 and 24 in Game 1 of the WCF and called SGA a "lil boy" on the floor. Defense apparently doesn't count if you're not dropping 30 a night.Then there's Jaylen Brown vs Stephen A. Smith — and JB might be cooking him. After getting bounced by the Sixers in Round 1, Brown went on Twitch and called Stephen A. the "face of clickbait media" and told him to retire. Stephen A. clapped back on First Take with "be careful what you wish for." We break down who's actually winning this one.Kevin Hart's Netflix Roast was a SLAUGHTER — Shane Gillis hosted, Tony Hinchcliffe brought the heat, Tom Brady, Lizzo and The Rock all showed up — and then Chelsea Handler had to ruin it. Now she's on Deon Cole's podcast calling the jokes "racist" and "disgusting." Sorry Chelsea, it's a ROAST. We're going in on why she sucks and why Gillis' response was perfect.Finally — Trump's Q1 stock disclosure dropped and the numbers are INSANE. 3,642 trades. $220M to $750M in volume. Roughly 58 trades per trading day. Nvidia, AMD, Microsoft, Broadcom, Dell — including a Dell position opened RIGHT before he publicly endorsed the company and the stock jumped 12%. Genius, insider trading, or standard 2026 chaos?📧 Business: takes@lawnchairsportsco.comLike, subscribe, and drop a comment — Wemby or SGA?#NBA #Wembanyama #SGA #JaylenBrown #StephenASmith #KevinHart #ChelseaHandler #ShaneGillis #Trump #LawnChairSports #NBAPlayoffs #Celtics #Spurs #Thunder #SurfsideVodka

50 EPISODES IN AND WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED - NBA and NHL Playoffs and We have 2 Electric Guests

Pull up a lawn chair — episode 50 is HERE and we're not holding back. OKC just swept the Lakers to move on to the West Finals, the Thunder are 8-0 in this postseason, and Shai dropped 35 to close it out. Meanwhile Wemby got himself EJECTED in Game 4 for throwing an elbow at Naz Reid and the Spurs-Wolves series is tied 2-2 with Ant-Man going off for 36. The Knicks swept the Sixers behind a 7-game playoff win streak and Cleveland just dropped a 23-0 run on the Pistons to tie that series. We're breaking it all down. Then we get into the Cubs — 27-14, first place in the NL Central, 11 straight wins at Wrigley, PCA signing his extension, and Bregman finally looking like a real Cub. Are they actually built for October or are we getting fool's-gold'd again? We've got the take. NHL playoffs — Carolina is 8-0 and just swept the Flyers to punch their ticket to the Eastern Conference Final, the Avs are up 3-1 on the Wild, and the Ducks shocked Vegas to tie that series. We're talking Cup futures and who's actually winning it all. AND because it's episode 50, we go all the way back. Favorite moments, dumbest takes that aged like milk, the guests who almost broke us, and the times we almost killed each other on mic. 50 episodes of two guys in lawn chairs and somehow we're still here.

NBA Playoffs CHAOS, Habs SHOCK Tampa, JP Morgan SEX SCANDAL & Newsom's WEIRD Interview

Pull up a lawn chair, episode 49B is a loaded one. The NBA playoffs are chaos, our Lightning got cooked by the Canadiens of all teams, JP Morgan has a sex scandal that may or may not even be real, Gavin Newsom is moving like he's auditioning for American Psycho 2, and we had THE worst experience at Noble Tavern in St. Pete. Buckle up. The NBA second round is officially insane. Anthony Edwards came back from a hyperextended knee in NINE days, off the bench, dropped 18 points and personally stole Game 1 from the Spurs in San Antonio. Wemby blocked TWELVE shots in that game — an all-time playoff record — and still lost. Jalen Brunson dropped 35 on the Sixers in a 137-98 beatdown. The Lakers dropped Game 1 to OKC. Things are wild. Then there's the Habs. The Tampa Bay Lightning got eliminated in the FIRST ROUND for the fourth straight year, and Game 7 happened RIGHT HERE in Tampa. Montreal won 2-1. Here's the kicker — the Canadiens registered NINE shots on goal the entire game. Nine. That's an NHL record for the fewest shots in a playoff win since the league started tracking shots in 1959. Vasilevskiy got hung out to dry and the Bolts are out. The JP Morgan story is genuinely unbelievable. A male banker named Chirayu Rana filed a lawsuit accusing executive Lorna Hajdini of essentially turning him into an "office sex slave" — drugging him, threatening his career, all of it. Then the lawsuit got retracted within days, JP Morgan's internal investigation found no evidence, and now multiple outlets are calling it a fabrication and possible shakedown attempt. We have thoughts. And what is going on with Gavin Newsom? Have you seen these interviews? The hand motions, the bizarre movements — people on social media are LITERALLY calling for him to take a drug test. We watched the clips. We're not saying anything but we're saying everything. On today's episode: * Anthony Edwards returning in 9 days and the "Wolverine" nickname * The Lakers dropping Game 1 to OKC and what's wrong with Bron's supporting cast * The Habs eliminating the Lightning in Tampa with NINE shots on goal * The JP Morgan Chase / Lorna Hajdini lawsuit and why it fell apart * Gavin Newsom's bizarre body language interviews going viral * Our absolutely brutal experience at Noble Tavern in St. Pete (full breakdown) * Plus everything else getting us in trouble this week We don't pull punches. We just call it like we see it.
