Suprisingly, "old school" Mr. X has been converted to the "Make Baseball Fun Again" camp by his boys. Well, if more guys like Tim Anderson take it "next level" then there might be brawls every day. The Caps have gone and done it again... they went "Full Capital." Is Dan Snyder really ready to make a splash again? Tyreke Hill's career is hanging by a thread.

People who go to Coachella are mostly suckers anyway, so who cares if Yeezy sells them $50 socks in a fake-ass "church" service? If the masses were entertained... huzzah!

Tom Izzo stirred up the perfect sports radio shitstorm of hot-takes and media-one-upsmanship with each other late last week. "Oh yeah.. .well I COACHED YMCA once!" I have a very waffling take on Izzo. You'll hear it inside this episode. But we start with Duke, Mt. Zion, Tacko Fall, and everybody's armchair refereeing of the final minute of that game. We'll talk perfect brackets, and whether or not one can successfully "fade themselves" when the cold streak comes. All that, plus an earbud review....

It's the "most important position in sports" and yet, the ability for NFL teams to adequately sort out the shiners from the shitstains, remains highly imperfect.
