Is the NBA Draft Lottery Rigged?
EThe NBA Draft Lottery is fascinating. We don't get to see how it works. All we get is the results. It's hard for me to fathom that a team with a 1.7% chance of getting the #1 pick, actually gets the #1 pick months after making the worst trade in history. Learn more about your ad choices.

Do You Believe Anything?

Goodbye Derek Carr
EThis is going to sound odd, but I actually kind of feel bad for Derek Carr. I know that's not popular if you're a Saints fan. But, the Saints issues run deep. Who would you compare Derek Carr to?

Athletes Getting Death Threats
ELance Mccullers Jr, he of the Houston Astros, received death threats after a poor start Saturday. Now, I'm hot saying he didn't. But, I do think we need to find out how credible these threats actually were. Idiots on social media say dumb shit all the time. Hell, I used to receive threats in the mail at WIP. That was certainly something. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Eagles v. Cowboys To Open NFL Season
EIt's weird. When I was a kid, I believed that every game rivalry ESPN hyped up was truly important. As an adult, almost none of those rivalries mean anything to me. I don't know why that is. The Cowboys will open the season in Philadelphia. I've never seen anything like the hate Philly fans have for Dallas. It's weird and pretty one sided. Learn more about your ad choices.

If I Could Change One Thing About My Career...
EFirst off, shout out to the guy who DM'ed to let me know he's listened since Philly and actually has over 40 episodes of the 790 show saved on his phone. He told me that the 790 version of the show was the best version and I'd say I agree. That actually got me thinking about what would have happened had that iteration of the show not died. I don't really have a ton of regrets, but I can circle the moment in time that I'd change in my career... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Kids With Famous Parents
ETiger Woods son didn't make the cut at the US Open. It has to be a double edged sword having a famous parent. Not just a famous parent, but a parent who is the greatest of all time.

Draymond Green Continues To Be The Perfect Heel
EDraymond Green is a giant asshole on the court. He knows he's an asshole. Everyone knows he's an asshole. Last night, his Warriors got throttled and after the game Draymond said he's tired of people portraying him as an angry black man. Only a first class chicken shit heel would take that angle. That's exactly what Draymond Green is...he's a chicken shit heel. He's great at it. I struggle to find another player in sports history that played this role any better.

Sarcasm Is Lost On Some
EI've been posting AI images that people have been sending me related to my coming back to Philly. I also posted a picture of me holding WaWa pretzels as if to say I'm all about Philly. Clearly I'm just having a good time. I enjoy that 99% of the people get it and are laughing with me. I really love that the 1% of people view it as me being desperate for the Philly job. I know I'm not getting the job. But, it's fun to get people involved in the cause. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
More NBA Excitement And A Bet For Tonight
EI know many of you dislike the NBA, but the playoffs continue to be a blast. I've got a rock solid bet for tonights Knicks/Celtics game. I'm not one to judge anyone for what they watch.

This isn't the stale, stand around and shoot 3's bball people loathe. How sad was the Popovich press conference? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Did You Actually Watch PBS As A Kid?
ETrump wants to end federal funding for NPR and PBS. To be fair, NPR is in fact biased and I don't believe the government should fund any media. That said, PBS shouldn't go away. I didn't watch PBS as a kid because we had cable. Why would I watch a stupid show about a talking Aardvark when I could watch "Double Dare"? Do kids actually learn anything from these shows?

97.5 The Fanatic Job Update
EI have applied for the 97.5 The Fanatic Philly job. I'm telling you now that I have a 0.0% chance of getting the job. Actually, I have a 0.3% chance of getting a return phone call. Would Mike Missanelli, the guy I competed with in Philly, even allow me to work on the same station? He already derailed that quest before. I truly believe I'm the only person they could hire to make any sort of noise. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
James Harden Is Still James Harden
EThe NHL and NBA playoffs have been outstanding. People on the radio in St. Louis are forgiving the Blues for blowing Game 7 to the Jets. I'm a believer that expectations can change from game to game and minute to minute. You cannot blow that game and leave the season feeling good. The Rockets laid a giant egg in Game 7. Jalen Green was a disaster. What else do the Rockets need? James Harden was a no show in Game 7 for the Clippers. Shocker. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Delusional Confidence

I Loved The Pistons/Knicks Series
EIt is really a shame we don't get to witness a Game 7 in the Pistons/Knicks series. I enjoyed it. It was old school, scrappy, hard hitting basketball. For people who rip the NBA for being soft, this series was a throwback. Plus, I enjoy when poverty sports towns have a resurgence. That's what's happening in Detroit. Will the Rockets force a Game 7?

Rockets Stay Alive and LeBron Goes Home
EThe Rockets came out to hoop last night. It got a little dicey in the 4th, but they throttled the Warriors. Jalen Green cost me a parlay....he is now on the no bet list. Can they go to San Fran and win game 6? Did the Warriors concede the game early? I'm beyond tired of Steve Kerr and Draymond whining. If I'm a Mavericks fan, do I take joy in watching the Lakers lose? I think the Mavericks are actually in an okay spot. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

News Rant
EAfter seeing a headline about Shedeur Sanders in today's USA Today, I find myself needing to vent on the state of news media. I don't understand how anyone has any trust for these people.

White House Visits
EMy Buddy AJ Hoffman posted something on Twitter that I found amusing. Basically, he challenged sports writer Clarence Hill to stop being full of shit.

Rockets Lose Game 4 and Probably The Series
EThe Rockets lost to the Warriors and their season is more than likely over. They lost because they can't make free throws. It's truly astounding when professional players shoot 63% from the line. Is Jalen Green a star? It's debatable. Ime made a major 4th quarter coaching blunder that I believe cost them mightily. I've got an NBA bet for Tuesday night. Learn more about your ad choices.
