Episode description
Joe begins the Thursday show with some updates on the podcast. Joe mentions that he’s getting new downloads from different parts of the country as well as the world. Joe looks the location hits as opposed to the numbers, and yes, there’s VPNs and stuff like that, but appreciates everyone who takes the time to download the podcast, as well as watching with me on No Filter.
Joe gives some stadium updates. First, the Athletics appears to have a tentative agreement with Nevada and Las Vegas for the funding for the new stadium and gives some additional details. Joe still thinks Oakland will be playing in their affiliate’s stadium next year despite having a lease through next season. Also keep an eye on Milwaukee. Joe doesn’t think anything will happen there, but Commissioner Rob Manfred was in Milwaukee to talk to the Brewers with his annual meetings with each team, as well as meeting with the Wisconsin legislature to get the funding for improvements for Milwaukee’s stadium.
Joe reiterated that Lebron James did play with a torn tendon in his foot, and he’s falling into the Shams Charania camp that Lebron will return next year despite that news alert that game Tuesday morning. Health and science has advanced so much over the last 20 years that James has been in the league that Joe can see him playing a few more years, but could also seeing LBJ retiring.
Then Joe talks about gambling in the NFL. He goes over the rules that the NFL has and why some players got 6 teams, some got a year, etc. Then Joe says he does not believe Detroit WR Jameson Williams’ commenting that he wasn’t aware of the NFL’s gambling policy.
Finally, Joe talks about the latest issues with Ja Morant. He was caught again with a gun on Instagram and police having to have a welfare check on him on Wednesday. Joe thinks Ja needs to wake up before he loses his career, or even his life. Joe mentions help is out there, whether it is just hanging with the wrong crowd, or there is a mental health issue that is undiagnosed. Joe details how he was diagnosed with anxiety and depression, and gives his advice to everyone.
Update on the pod and stream: Audio only pod will be recorded on Saturday. I will have a live show on No Filter on Tuesday, but no live show next Thursday (6/1). But be on the lookout for a Penn National themed horse racing podcast as well as a video on YouTube. Just follow Joe @JoeQuills on Twitter and the show @PhillyGuySpeaks for details.
Also check out all the Bleacher Brother shows on No Filter as well as the Bleacher Brothers YouTube channel.
