    Trading Places
    2026/04/10

    Episode 31 of In My Defense is titled "Trading Places," and this week, Canty and Que break down power moves, pressure points, and decisions that could reshape franchises.


    They start in the WNBA with the blockbuster trade sending Angel Reese from the Chicago Sky to the Atlanta Dream. Is this smart team-building or a business gamble?


    Then they hit the NBA, debating whether the 65-game rule is hurting the league more than helping, and what it means for stars chasing awards and contracts. In the NFL, the guys dive into Dexter Lawrence's request for a trade from the Giants and what it signals about New York's direction.


    Plus, Lamar Jackson showing up to voluntary workouts sends a loud message: the pressure is no longer on him.


    They close with 99 Problems: Top 5 moves that NEED to happen before the draft, plus Wins & Losses of the Week.

    Nothing's personal… but In My Defense.

  • Opening Day: Yankees Win, Mahomes Update, Celtics-OKC & March Madness Upsets

    Opening Day: Yankees Win, Mahomes Update, Celtics-OKC & March Madness Upsets
    2026/03/27

    Episode 29 of In My Defense is titled “Opening Day,” and this week, Canty and Que cover everything from baseball’s return to March Madness shaking up the bracket.

    First, the guys react to MLB Opening Day, including the Yankees’ strong start, Max Fried setting the tone on the mound, and what New York’s early form says about the season ahead.


    Then they get into the latest on Patrick Mahomes, who is already throwing ahead of schedule as he works back from injury. The big question: should the Chiefs push for an early return, or slow-play it and think bigger picture?


    From there, they talk NBA, including the Celtics beating OKC, why Boston still looks dangerous with Jayson Tatum back, and the Timberwolves’ stunning comeback win over the Rockets that showed just how dangerous Minnesota can be in the West. Finally, the episode closes with March Madness, as Canty and Que run through their Top 5 unexpected wins or losses from the NCAA Tournament so far.

  • Free Agency | Bam’s 83, Ravens Pivot to Trey Hendrickson, Kyler to Minnesota & 4 NFL Trades We Didn’t See Coming

    Free Agency | Bam’s 83, Ravens Pivot to Trey Hendrickson, Kyler to Minnesota & 4 NFL Trades We Didn’t See Coming
    2026/03/13
    Episode 27 of In My Defense is titled “Free Agency.”First, the guys react to Bam Adebayo’s 83-point game. Was it historic? Absolutely. Was it the same as Kobe’s 81? That’s where the debate starts, as Canty and Que break down the context, the moment, and why not all huge scoring nights are created equal.Then they get into the NFL chaos, starting with the Maxx Crosby trade to the Ravens that fell apart. Baltimore thought it had its superstar pass rusher, but the deal died after Crosby’s physical, forcing the Ravens to pivot to Trey Hendrickson. Canty explains why it’s still a strong move for Baltimore, just not at the same level as a game-changer. After that, the guys discuss Kyler Murray to the Minnesota Vikings, a move that gives Kyler a fresh start and gives Minnesota a talented quarterback with a lot to prove. Canty breaks down why the fit makes sense and why the pressure now falls on both Kyler and Kevin O’Connell to make it work.Finally, they close with the top trades and free agency moves they didn’t expect, looking at the deals that caught them off guard and could end up shaping the 2026 NFL season in a major way.Nothing’s personal… but In My Defense. 📺 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@InMyDefensePod/?sub_confirmation=1🔗 https://www.linktr.ee/InMyDefensePod🎙️ New episodes drop every Friday🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and Amazon Music.Follow the hosts:Chris Canty → @ChrisCanty99Quentin “Que” McDuffie → @Queie_Beamen1Episode 27 – “Free Agency” Timestamps00:00 Ravens Back Out of Maxx Crosby Trade – What Happened?00:18 Podcast Intro – NFL Free Agency & NBA Playoff Race00:50 Canty & Que Talk Parenting and Baby Travel Stories01:10 Family Trip to Japan & Dad Life Conversation03:10 Bam Adebayo’s 83-Point Game – Is It Legit?03:38 Bam 83 vs Kobe 81 – Which Scoring Performance Was Better?05:14 Did the Wizards Help Bam Reach 83 Points?06:00 Comparing Bam Adebayo, Kobe Bryant & Wilt Chamberlain Scoring Nights07:05 Washington Wizards Franchise Struggles Since 197907:55 Bam Adebayo & A’ja Wilson Relationship Moment08:33 Canty on Why Bam’s Teammates Helped Him Make History09:52 Maxx Crosby Trade to Ravens Voided After Failed Physical10:40 Ravens Pivot to Trey Hendrickson After Crosby Trade Collapse11:10 Ravens Pass Rush Problems & Defensive Struggles12:02 Maxx Crosby vs Trey Hendrickson – Who Is The Better Edge Rusher?14:04 Why Trey Hendrickson Gets More Sack Opportunities15:10 Canty: Maxx Crosby Is a Future Hall of Famer15:50 Can Maxx Crosby Still Be Traded Later This Season?16:40 How Maxx Crosby Returns to the Raiders Locker Room17:30 Why the Raiders Must Wait to Trade Crosby Again19:20 Kyler Murray Joins the Minnesota Vikings – Breaking News20:10 How Kyler Murray Fits With Justin Jefferson & Vikings Offense21:20 Kyler Murray’s Reputation Problem – Film Study Debate22:25 Why a Motivated Kyler Murray Could Thrive in Minnesota23:30 Vikings History of Reviving Quarterback Careers25:05 Can Kyler Murray Be Consistent Week to Week?26:40 Who Has More Pressure – Kyler Murray or Kevin O’Connell?27:20 Vikings Coach Kevin O’Connell Still Hasn’t Won a Playoff Game27:40 Top 5 Unexpected NFL Free Agency Moves28:10 Mike Evans Signs With the San Francisco 49ers30:00 Michael Pittman Jr Joins the Pittsburgh Steelers32:20 Steelers WR Duo: DK Metcalf & Pittman Breakdown32:50 Tariq Woolen to the Eagles – Defensive Impact33:30 Kenneth Walker III to the Kansas City Chiefs34:45 Canty: Why Running Backs Are Treated Like Hammers in the NFL36:00 Alex Pierce Becomes Top 10 Highest Paid WR37:10 Wins & Losses of the Week37:20 Raiders Biggest Losers After Failed Crosby Trade38:10 Jason Tatum Returns From Achilles Injury39:30 Celtics Playoff Outlook With Tatum Back40:00 Detroit Pistons vs Boston Celtics Discussion40:50 Outro – Where to Follow Canty & Que🎙️ New episodes drop every Friday 🔗 www.linktr.ee/InMyDefensePod 📺 Subscribe: youtube.com/@InMyDefensePodFollow the hosts:Chris Canty → @ChrisCanty99Quentin “Que” McDuffie → @Queie_Beamen1 Hosted on Acast.

    Episode 26 of In My Defense is titled “The Combine” — and this week, Canty and Que break down everything from boxing spectacle to NFL roster building.First, the guys react to Floyd Mayweather’s return to the ring. Is this really about the love of boxing, or is Floyd chasing one more massive payday with Manny Pacquiao and the exhibition circuit?Then they get into one of the NFL’s biggest moves: Trent McDuffie traded to the Los Angeles Rams. Canty explains why the deal is a win-win for both the Rams and the Chiefs — giving L.A. a premier corner while Kansas City reloads with premium draft capital.Finally, they recap the 2026 NFL Draft Combine, including the players who turned heads, boosted their stock, and forced scouts to go back to the tape.

  • The Franchise | NFL Tag Window Opens, NBA MVP Chaos & 5 NBA Finals Contenders

    The Franchise | NFL Tag Window Opens, NBA MVP Chaos & 5 NBA Finals Contenders
    2026/02/27

    Episode 25 of In My Defense is titled “The Franchise.” We start with the NFL’s most controversial power tool: the franchise tag. Between February 17 and March 3 (4 p.m. ET deadline), teams can tag pending unrestricted free agents, locking them in for one year at a top-five salary average. Is it smart business… or suppressed leverage? Canty and Que break down what it really feels like to be tagged and why players hate it.


    Franchise Tag Talk

    • Why does no player want it
    • Risk vs reward
    • Breece Hall, George Pickens, Kyle Pitts implications
    • Why the tag isn’t going anywhere


    NBA MVP Race (Late Feb 2026)

    • It’s a four-person sprint: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (OKC) | Nikola Jokic (DEN) | Cade Cunningham (DET) | Victor Wembanyama (SAS). Que has a Dark horse that everyone needs to start mentioning!
    • The 65-game eligibility rule could decide the race. If availability is value… who really deserves it?


    5 Teams That Can Win the NBA Finals

    1. Boston Celtics
    2. San Antonio Spurs
    3. Oklahoma City Thunder
    4. Detroit Pistons
    5. Cleveland Cavaliers


    Plus: DMV nightmares, James Harden unlocking Jarrett Allen, and Wins & Losses.
