The Face of Immovable Incompetence

You will encounter gross incompetence in life, young Jedi. It will stun you. It will infuriate. But, you must try to navigate around it. ANDY POLLIN joins to discuss the NFL Draft, pay tribute to Howie Schwab, and explain why Jayden Daniels' agent was chirping after a "speed dating" visit to the Commanders.

Adam Silver Claims His First Gambling Scalp

So that didn't take long. We have our first NBA player suspended "for life" for betting against his own team, and also faking bogus injuries to affect his prop bet totals. Reality is, nobody will care. Rory turns down $850M. Maybe. Caitlyn Clark pay cut? MR X joins me to talk gambling and why bookies "breaking kneecaps" is more Hollywood that reality. Also how he plays season totals in baseball, his record on them, and why sometimes the lines wiggle and jump before pushing off from shore. MORE.....

The Storybook Ending Gets Stuffed In A Locker

Normally, an undefeated juggernaut that had overcome losing 5 starters from a team that went to the Final Four and lost (to Iowa, no less!) coming back to avenge said loss and then cutting down the nets... would have been "chef's kiss" perfection. Instead, it denied the sports world the ultimate Caitlyn-gasm ending. ANDY POLLIN joins me to discuss. Will Clark be a "wave" or a "tide" that lifts all women's basketball boats? In the men's bracket, UConn beats a fierce Alabama squad as "Mt. Edey" aw...

Cue The DJ: NC State Is A Banger!

Is it the "greatest run" in NCAA Tournament history? Depends on how you classify "run"? Do you have to win it all? Or just make the Final Four? Does relative conference strength matter?

Kim Mulkey "hit piece" by the Post didn't land many (any) blows. Caitlyn vs. Bayou Barbie has center stage on Monday night. Ho...
