Picking up our two here on Money Moves, VSiN, the SportsBetting Network Series XM Channel 158 Wherever you're watching, listening, hanging out with us, we appreciate it. iHeartRadio, YouTube TV, the VSiN Watch app. He's Jonathan Von Tobel, I'm Stormy Buonantony. Lots more to come this hour of the program. Our Money Moves College Football Top 25 reveal will continue in the next segment. We are cracking into the top 10 today. Also in 30 minutes, Tom Byrne of Mad Dog Sports Radio is going to stop by Philly Native, going to help us break down more of the LeBron move. Why are you laughing?

**Jonathan Von Tobel** (0:42)
It's just such a crazy, it's a bit of news. We get something. I like breaking news. It's fun for the most part. I've been on the air for some bad breaking news, but it is interesting to react to stuff like this. And it's obviously a big story. We're seeing the tail end of the career of LeBron James in two years, because he signed a two year deal.
He will not be playing basketball anymore. That is pretty wild to consider.

**Stormy Buonantony** (1:00)
Yeah. And could he, in those two years, bring a championship to a place that hasn't seen one since 1983?

**Jonathan Von Tobel** (1:06)
A place that has not been happy since its inception? I don't know. When was the city built?

**Stormy Buonantony** (1:10)
No, they've been happy. They've been happy.

**Jonathan Von Tobel** (1:11)
They had a Superbowl. 1617? When was Philly built? When was Philly established?

**Stormy Buonantony** (1:16)
Also, at the end of the hour, we'll talk a little WNBA All-Star, the three-point contest coming up today. And there is a play I think could be worth looking at.

**Jonathan Von Tobel** (1:24)
But really?

**Stormy Buonantony** (1:26)
Yeah.

**Jonathan Von Tobel** (1:26)
You're not doing this thing where you're putting that evil on me, Ricky Bobby, and then you're just going to toss up of, hey, you take care of it. You've got something.

**Stormy Buonantony** (1:32)
I mean, I believe you do, but I have something too.

**Jonathan Von Tobel** (1:35)
Okay. All right. Look at that smile that says, no, I don't.

**Stormy Buonantony** (1:38)
We're going to kick off this hour, however, in the National Football League because we are hitting the road once again today.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:46)
Join Stormy and JVT as they go on the Money Moves NFL Training Camp Tour.

**Stormy Buonantony** (1:52)
All right. Today's stop on the NFL Training Camp Tour, Tampa Bay. Last year, the Bucs got off to a hot start. JVT, they were six and two. Baker Mayfield was squarely in the MVP conversation, then things fall off a cliff. Just two wins the rest of the year, several close games lost in that stretch, five by five or fewer points, which cost them a spot in the playoffs for the first time in six years. The eight and nine record did tie for the division lead, but tiebreakers held them out of it. Carolina ends up winning the NFC South. What do you think big picture about the Bucs entering 2026?

**Jonathan Von Tobel** (2:27)
That I think they're going to be pretty much on par with what they were last year. Maybe a couple of things go better for you and you can win nine games. I don't expect that there's going to be much deviation from where the market expects them to be in that eight and a half win range.
I am curious and I like the way that Adam Burke put this in the NFL guide. Paraphrasing, but of all the failures of season ago, two points squarely at Grizzard, I believe right now, the offensive coordinator.

**Stormy Buonantony** (2:49)
Is it Grizzard like Lizard?

**Jonathan Von Tobel** (2:50)
Is it Grizzard like Lizard? Either way, we'll go with G.
But our boy, the offensive coordinator here, firing him after a season in which injuries did demolish your skill positions. Mike Evans, Bucky Irving, Chris Godwin, and putting all the onus on him, I think is pretty interesting considering what the limitations were for this team because of their health or lack thereof. So I think you probably could have run it back, especially for the sake of continuity. I mean, Baker Mayfield has gone through a ton of offensive coordinators in his time as a pro, and especially in Tampa Bay, largely because of positives. Canales was there, but then he got hired, and then it was who's the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars? Thank you, Liam Cohen. His name escaped me for a brief second. But you've seen so much to molt at that position that one would assume that maybe you want to give him some sort of consistency. But either way, assume that you're going to have some of the same principles here so you can have some semblance of what you had the season ago from a play calling standpoint. Be interested to see how that works for him though, because you've definitely seen a slight dip in the production since the days of Canales and Onward.
