JARED QUAY: Introducing the Tampa Bay Raptors. All right, they're still the Toronto Raptors, but due to COVID-19 restrictions in Canada, they'll be playing out the rest of their games in Tampa.

[LAUGHTER]

Smart move too, seeing how every major team in Tampa went to the championship last year. And they don't have a basketball team, so it's a perfect fit, right? The Lightning won the Stanley Cup, the Bucs won the Super Bowl, and the Rays almost won the World Series.

Maybe Tom Brady could give the Raptors some avocado tequila. Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady was stumbling around the Bucs parade, and I just assumed he was fading.

- Dude, he's wasted.

JARED QUAY: Apparently Brady has a bum knee and is scheduled to undergo minor surgery to get it fixed.

Dak Prescott got peer pressured into unfollowing the Washington Football Team on Insta. Dak, what are you doing there? You trying to get money from Cowboys, or you really want to play for the football team?

I mean, let's be honest. Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder, they kind of both villains, but at the same time, there's other owners out there, man.

How about this? Why don't you follow the Ravens? I like the Ravens. I mean, you could be--
