The NFC East was an absolute blast to watch in 2020 and so far in 2021, it has not disappointed. Can the Washington Football Team come out on top with improved quarterback play this season or will Saquan Barkley make all the difference for Daniel Jones and the Giants? Jalen Hurts now has the reigns for the Philadelphia Eagles with a fresh fellow Alabama prospect to target downfield. But did the Cowboys become the most improved this offseason by virtue of simply getting Dak Prescott back under center who was on fire before his season-ending injury in 2020? Patricia Traina of Locked On Giants, Chris Russell of Locked On Washington Football Team, Gino Cammilleri of Locked On Eagles, and Landon McCool of Locked On Cowboys break it all down in our final episode of Locked On and Audacy's Ultimate Season Preview. All along with Audacy Insider Ross Tucker who has one clear favorite across the division. The Ultimate NFL Season Preview 2021 kicks off eight days of divisional previews featuring over 35 experts and insiders. Today, the NFC West.

Ben and the guys run through the latest NBA megadeals and debate which are worth the money (Steph Curry) and which might be like burning money (Kawhi Leonard). The guys break down the Bulls’ free agent spending spree and wonder if Chicago can be a legit contender in the Eastern Conference, and which teams have the best odds on winning the NBA Championship in 2022.    Learn more about your ad choices.

We are excited to welcome Ross Tucker back to the show! He joined us in a special episode in January to discuss the great shoe debate, and this time we learn more about his background growing up in South Africa before turning to discuss all of the major issues of today.  Chris and Adam lead this discussion as Ross talks about growing up in a small, industrial town in South Africa. He describes how checking out the only book on running in his local library would change the course of his life and career. That book - Lore of Running by Dr. Tim Noakes - would lead him to study under Dr. Noakes at the University of Capetown before embarking on a career in sports science himself. Now, Ross is a science and research consultant for World Rugby, where he advises on issues of player safety and policy. He's also co-host of the Science of Sport Podcast where he and co-host Mike Finch regularly bring data and evidence to discuss a host of issues across sports. In this episode, we dig into a handful of those issues including the shift of the great shoe debate from the roads to the track, the Caster Semenya case, new rules from World Rugby governing the participation of transgender athletes, and of course, the latest in the world of clean sport.  Ross Tucker has an amazing ability to make complex issues very simple and easy to understand. He's also adept at arguing both sides of each issue, which often brings unique perspective to any discussion. We learn something new every time we listen to Ross speak, and this was no exception.
