The guys wrap up the national title, the Nantz necktie, and what it means to be a baseball man. Adam Morrison joins the show to discuss the erroneous apocalypse bunker rumor, rage against the machine, and what it was like to play with Kobe Bryant and be coached by Phil Jackson. Segments include "PR 101", "Michael Wilbon Name Drop", "People forget that", and "Explain it to Hank" where all 3 guys brainstorm how to successfully not pay your taxes.

The UConn women's basketball team would be a 3-5 point favorite over the Philadelphia 76ers

I think that the – well, yeah, [UConn women] are going to win, and I think that the spread against the Sixers, they'd be like three to five-point favorites, depending if it was in UConn or if it was being played in Philly.

The Philadelphia 76ers, even in their 'Process' era, would easily defeat any college team, men's or women's, due to the professional skill gap.

Villanova would beat the Philadelphia 76ers

So yeah, I Villanova, I'd take Villanova over the Sixers.

Professional NBA teams do not lose to college teams under normal circumstances.

The Jaguars winning a Super Bowl is a futuristic impossibility

If the Jaguars ever win a Super Bowl, that that's like futuristic stuff, like hoverboard back to the future kind of stuff. The Jaguar, just that sentence, like Jaguars winning Super Bowl. That's something that you can my brain can't even compute that.

While the Jaguars have not won a Super Bowl as of 2024, it is not a 'hoverboard' level impossibility.

Power ranking of sports figures: 1. Football Guy, 2. Hockey Lifer, 3. Baseball Man, 4. Basketball Mind

Football guy number one. We got to go hockey lifer number two because that guy's seen some shit. You have to cross the border 20 times a year. He knows all the smuggling tricks. Hockey lifer's number two. Baseball man, number three. And then basketball mind, number four in my book.

Inherently subjective ranking of show-defined archetypes.

Tony La Russa is the ultimate 'Baseball Man' for falling asleep at a red light while drunk

I mean, Tony La Russa, classic baseball man, falling asleep at a red light because he's too drunk. That's just baseball man life.

References a real 2007 incident where La Russa was arrested for DUI in Jupiter, FL.

JJ Watt still manually buys and alphabetizes music on iTunes

JJ Watt would be a guy who buys music still in 2016. Right. He spends $9.99 for every album and he's got like a very careful, everything's in like perfect order on his iTunes alphabetized. He's got the album artwork set up and everything.

A satirical characterization of Watt's personality.

Rage Against the Machine's debut self-titled album is their best

I would go, to be honest, their first album might be the best, to be honest. You don't skip a song on that album. You don't. Yeah, absolutely true. You can just throw it on. It's a perfect workout music.

Subjective opinion on music quality.

Kobe Bryant had the best left-handed shot in the NBA

Kobe's like, I'm the best left-handed, the best left-handed... Do you remember when he broke his finger? Okay, so he breaks his finger in the game, doesn't check out. His line that night was like 18 and something with just one hand. He literally played with one hand... He looks over and goes, Amo, like what? He goes, I told you I had the best fucking left hand in the league.

Kobe Bryant famously made several left-handed shots during his career, including a 3-pointer against the Mavs in 2012, but 'best in the league' is subjective.

Greg Hardy's best possible legacy move is to be completely forgotten

The best thing that Greg Hardy could do is be forgotten. That's as good as it's going to get for his legacy. Why don't you get a horse and go live in the mountains someplace and don't bother anybody for a while?

Hardy never successfully rehabilitated his image and eventually left the NFL for MMA, remaining a pariah.

The Crying Michael Jordan meme will never die

The reason why the crying MJ meme will never die, and it's very simple, anyone who ever complains about it instantly gets the crying MJ meme on them so it's like it just it's a self-fulfilling you can't stop it.

As of the late 2020s, the meme is still frequently used, proving its longevity far beyond most internet trends.

I'm just not going to pay my taxes

Probably just not going to do them. [Taxes].

Hank presumably eventually paid his taxes to avoid legal consequences, making the literal claim of 'not doing them' likely false in the long run.
