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. What incentive does anyone have to stop being full of shit? When guys turn down White House visits, do we believe they are doing so for themselves or for fear of social media backlash?

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.

Sarcasm Is Lost On Political Zealots
EWhat I've learned in my years of doing media is that there is a shocking number people who just don't get sarcasm. What I've learned in recent years is if someone is super political, they really, really don't get sarcasm Why is this? What caused this? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Odd News: St. Louis Edition
I've got multiple death stories from the St. Louis area that are strange. The first involves and old man and his wife. The second is very "Final Destination" like.... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Can Rockets Bounce Back?
EWe've got a big Rockets/Warriors game tonight. Can the Rockets bounce back? Can Jalen Green score more than 18.5 points? Can the Rockets score more than 99.5 points? I know the NBA regular season sucks...but the playoffs have been outstanding. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Saquon Plays Golf With Trump: Libs Meltdown
ELes Bowen is a sports writer in Philly. Well, sort of. He used to write for the paper and now writes for some blog. Cool. Anywho, Les is an old, white Liberal. There's nothing really wrong with that. But, Les is not happy with Saquon Barkley because the Eagles Running Back golfed with Donald Trump...GASP. While explaining why Saquon's outing with the President was so egregious, Les did an impressive job of "Whitesplaining" the situation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Nauseating NFL Draft Weekend
EThe NFL Draft devolved into a weekend long Shedeur Sanders drama. I have no issue with Shedeur or his dad. But, media people and the internet dweebs were out of control. I've never seen anything like it. Of course, the biggest drama of the weekend involved prank phone calls. Yes, somehow prank phone calls have become the worst thing the world has ever seen.

The Deion Cult
I thought I was done with the Shedeur stuff today. But, I saw a video of someone acting as if Shedeur not being drafted in the first round was some great tragedy and I want to laugh at this. There are certain members of the media who are reading the company line as it relates to Shedeur and it's really hysterical. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Maher v. David
Bill Maher had a meeting with Donald Trump and came away thinking that the President was likable. He didn't agree with everything he said, but he found him charming. Larry David feels that meeting with Trump and coming away even remotely impressed is akin to having dinner with Hitler. These people are insane. Learn more about your ad choices.

Sinners
EThe movie "Sinners" is out in theaters. I haven't seen it and based on the trailers I'm not positive that it's for me. That said, Hailee Steinfeld is in this motion picture. There is a scene going on around on the internet that makes me want to see this movie. I'd assume Josh Allen had to be jealous when his lady was doing love scenes with Michael B. Jordan.

Shedeur Is Still On The Board
EFirst off, I go off on a strange tangent about football recruiting websites. Next, we talk about Shedeur. Why wasn't he drafted? I don't know the dude, but I do see things that make me question if he's truly doing this for himself or for his dad. Cam Ward was the #1 pick and he's barely talked about.

"The Conners" Final Episode
E"The Conners", a spinoff of "Roseanne" aired its final episode last night. I haven't watched an episode of this show since they booted Roseanne. But, I watched the final episode to see how they wrapped it up. I thought it was kind of cheap and unfair to Roseanne. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Does He Love Football?
Pro Football Talk had a piece this morning about teams wanting to make sure draft picks love football. Part of the concern is that in the NIL era, dudes are getting paid early and aren't as hungry. I think it's a valid concern. I also don't know how you would truly determine if someone truly loves football. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Rockets Win Game 2
EWhat did I tell you? I feel like virtually everything I said would happen in Game two actually happened in Game 2. Isn't it kind of amusing that it was Draymond being a toolbox is what kind of led to Jimmy Butler getting knocked out? Do the Warriors have a chance without Jimmy? The Rockets are actually still underdogs in this series. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Does My Dog Like Me? Update

Will The Rockets Bounce Back?
EFirst off, let's look at some of the NBA Series bets. Do we think the Celtics will sweep? What about the Thunder? Tonights games have some really appealing over/under plays. I think the Rockets have a major bounce back game tonight. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Prime Continues To Fight With Son's Critics
EDeion Sanders continues to clap back at his sons detractors. I would imagine Shedeur doesn't benefit by his dads constant chirping. What NFL team wants to deal with the drama? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Shannon Sharpe's Poor Sexual Decision Making
EWhat the hell is Shannon Sharpe doing? The dude is about to make tons of cash and he keeps making poor sexual decisions. Speaking of, studies show that many younger dudes are now just playing video games and watching erotica. Perhaps they have it right. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
ESPN's Standards
EI read a column from John Mamola from Barrett Media. The gist of this article is that ESPN has allowed its standards to erode in the name of gaining ratings and revenue from Pat McAfee. First off, I appreciate that he actually wrote a media story with an actual point of view. Second, I'll explain why McAfee is just a produce of what ESPN allowed itself to become.

Does My Dog Actually Like Me?
EFor whatever reason, I question whether Ross, our new dog, actually likes me. He's a very independent dog. He's quite different from Luther. I need the help of my listeners...do you think my dog likes me? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Why is Shedeur Sanders So Polarizing?
EFirst off, we have an update on the Tennessee/UCLA QB situation. I'm rooting for Tennessee to be successful because I think it's big for the future of college football. Next, USA Today has written a very important piece about why Shedeur Sanders is so disliked. It seems like it's going to be a very predictable story. Let's Read! Learn more about your ad choices.

Wrestlemania Roast
ETony Hinchcliffe hosted a Wrestlemania Roast for WWE. This roast was not broadcast and will seemingly never be seen by those who weren't in attendance. It seems as though things got pretty lit. This leads me down the path of discussing current comedy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Again, Commenting On Social Media Is A Fruitless Endeavor
EI made the mistake of commenting on a social media post and I got to experience the full on stupidity of people. The best part? I commented on a post about a movie. This leads to a full on breakdown of "Grease". You'll have to listen to hear the magic. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The Local News Is Dead...Here's Another Example
EThe local Fox Affiliate in St. Louis is garbage. Most local news is terrible. But, this one is special. Over the weekend, the outlet delivered a twitter post wit the headline "Could The Cincinnati Bengals Relocate To St. Louis?". That's a splashy headline. The issue, there is absolutely zero meat to the story. It's clickbait trash. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The Internet Continues To Be The Worst
E"God Bless The USA" came on when I was walking Ross. I was enjoying it because it is in fact a banger. It's hokey, but it's a banger. Anywho, I started thinking about the number of people who live in America and seemingly hate it. Do other countries do this? Do other countries self hate has much as America? This is a legit question I have. This leads us to social media. I made a mistake. I commented on an Instagram post. I was then told I was stupid for the entire weekend.

Wrestlemania
EMy wife really enjoys wrestling so I was forced into watching Wrestemania 41. I don't mind it. I just don't really care. That said, the much anticipated Sunday main event was a total dud. Also, I don't hate wrestling fans...but I really hate the ones who think they are in the business when they are not in the business. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Good For Billy Ray Cyrus
ECountry music Icon Billy Ray Cyrus has really hit the jackpot. It appears our friend here is dating Elizabeth Hurley. What a stud. If you don't follow Elizabeth Hurley on Instagram, you should. Somehow this leads me down the Hugh Grant arrest wormhole. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Rockets Stink In Playoff Opener
EThe NBA Playoffs have begun! First off, the USA Today has a dumb headline about the OKC Thunder. The Thunder beat the hell out of the Grizzlies...It didn't prove anything. But, don't tell that to USA Today. The Rockets lost. There are two ways you can look at that game. We discuss both angles. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Radio Rant
EI read a few things about radio that really annoyed me today. Well, I read some stuff and heard some other stuff. First off, my old radio station is adding music I said we needed to add a year ago. I think I have a pretty good idea about what stations should sound like...there's a really good one in Detroit you should check out. Second, I read a story about how sports radio needs to be more creative...good luck with that. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
NBA Playoff Predictions
EI know that some of you don't care...but I've got series predictions for the first round of the NBA playoffs. Also, and this won't help you after today, I've got a bet in the Grizzlies/Mavs game that I feel really, really good about. It's very strange for me to not hate the Rockets.

Little Forrest Is An Antisemitic Drunk

Coach Prime Claps Back At Critics
EColorado football is retiring the numbers of Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter. Some folks aren't happy about this. Deion believes the only reason people are criticizing is because Shedeur's last name is Sanders. Coach Prime has many positives and negatives. I find myself loving him one minute and hating him the next. That said, he's off base here. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Corso Out At ESPN
ELee Corso will retire from ESPN after week 1 of the College Football season. This is something that should have happened a while back, but ESPN has really had to handle this gently. I understand. They have been in a tough spot. Will they continue the headgear picks? Will they let it die? Do people even tune in to shows or games for the hosts/announcers? Learn more about your ad choices.

Dumb Nico Story

Amanda Bynes Is On OnlyFans

I Miss My Mounjaro
EI no longer have insurance so I no longer get my Mounjaro. I've gone about a month without it and I'm jonesing for it. This leads to a rant about the absurdity of insurance. Also, this leads to many other random thoughts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Nico Overplayed His Hand
EIt appears that the former Tennessee QB made a major mistake trying to get more cash. Reportedly, he's only getting offers that are well below what he was making at Tennessee. I'm going to assume he got some really, really bad advice. That said, I'm glad he's not getting more cash. This situation may actually be really good for college sports.

Life Update
EFirst off, sorry about all the commercials. The good news is that we have an actual endorsement with Draft Kings. That's neat. Second, I want to update you guys on where things are going in my life in terms of jobs, location etc. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Fake Service Animals
I saw a headline about fake service animals that made me laugh. That said, aren't service animals the best? It's incredible how these animals do what they do. Does anyone have a service cat? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Jackie Robinson Day
EIt's Jackie Robinson Day which means it's time for writers to cut and paste the same story they write every year on this day. Most of these stories center around the lack of black coaches and front office staff in baseball. To me, the larger issue is the lack of star black players in the game. Where does that start? How is that remedied? Can it be remedied? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Baseball Games Are Too Short
EI attended my first MLB game of the season and was disappointed by the overall experience. In an effort to make games faster, MLB has zapped some of the joy of going to the ballpark. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Dumb Deshaun Watson Story
EMike Freeman of USA Today has written a very dull, lazy story about the importance of draft picks. This story uses the Browns trading for Deshaun Watson as a cautionary tale. Yes, draft picks are important. But, I still don't think that was a bad trade. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Kyren Lacy
EFormer LSU WR Kyren Lacy died over the weekend in an apparent suicide. It's a crappy story all the way around. I think we are in an era where we aren't teaching young people how to deal with adversity. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
More Clickbait
EUSA Today may be the best when it comes to terrible, clickbait headlines. Eric Dane, star of "Grey's Anatomy" has been diagnosed with ALS. USA Today requires you to click a vague headline to find this out. Perhaps I care about this more than I should. You may think I'm a dope. That's fine. I just find it gross. Also, I find myself gross because every time I see a story about someone getting ALS or Parkinson's or MS, I think about myself being afflicted. What a tool Learn more about your ad choices.

Ja Morant's Dumb Celebration
EJa Morant was fined for his gun celebration so he decided to change things up. Now, when he hits a three pointer, he pretends to throw a grenade. I'm not offended, I just think it looks stupid. This leads to a rant about how young kids mimic the celebrations of pro athletes and end up looking like little tool bags. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Sometimes A Movie Is Just A Movie
EI've been listening to a podcast called " You Must Remember This" which is about the first century of Hollywood. It's fine. But, the host is a movie critic and I think movie critics are extremely self important and try to find deeper meaning where no deeper meaning exists. Sometimes a movie is just a movie. I find myself annoyed by the double standards in country music. Random, I know. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Delusional Deshaun
EDeshaun Watson wants everyone to know that he is gonna prove his doubters wrong. He's one of these delusional people who believes that his haters are fueled by his poor play. In reality, people hate him because he's probably a serial predator. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Lamar Odom's Sex Doll
ELamar Odom says he has a sex doll made in the likeness of his ex wife, Khloe Kardashian. Understandably, Khole finds this to be off-putting. Are sex dolls all bad? More and more dudes aren't even bothering with trying to find a mate...they get the same gratification from video games and the hub. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Big Night Aht
Jilly forced me to watch Pat McAfee's "Big Night Aht" last night. I admire the hell of out McAfee because he's built this mega brand and he's got a huge audience of loyal people. Also, I really find myself enjoying Shannon Sharpe's podcast...which is surprising to me. Can any other podcaster on the planet get 13,000 people in an arena for a live show?

UFL Has Basically No Audience
There is a great myth that America is addicted to football. This is false. America is addicted to the NFL and to an extent college football. America doesn't care about crappy start up leagues. America doesn't care about minor league football. I'm in St. Louis, the only city that pretends to be interested. Even St. Louis is losing interest. I will share with you the reason St. Louis pretended to care in the first place... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
