Wednesday, April 1, 20209 takes

It's all hands on deck to figure out a way to save sports forever. Big Cat has decided to take the approach they're never coming back in hopes to get everyone to figure out innovation ( - ). NFL 100 running back list is discussed and we make some additions and subtractions ( - ). Hot Seat/Cool Throne ( - ). Old friend of the program Adam Morrison calls in to talk about why now would be a great time to have an apocalypse bunker even though he doesn't have one plus a great John Stockton story ( - ). IOC member Dick Pound joins the show to talk about the reasoning behind Olympics cancellation, the fight against steroids, and whether or not he ever thought about going by Richard ( - ). Segments include Thoughts and Prayers to Joe Buck and Mt Flushmore of Candy.

I am officially cancelling all sports until 2022 to avoid further heartbreak

I'm approaching [cancellations] the exact opposite way. I am cancelled sports for 2020, 2021 and possibly 2022 and anything that we get that comes sooner than that is a bonus. I'm not gonna let myself get my heart broken over and over... the world has ended and sports are over.

Sports returned much earlier than 2022 (summer/fall 2020), making this literal prediction incorrect.

The future of sports is video games and closed-set UFC fights

The future of sports is everyone watching video games and then every three weeks or so a closed set where Dana White has people beat the fuck out of each other. That's all we have.

UFC was indeed the first major sport back with closed sets, though traditional sports returned in bubbles soon after.

OJ Simpson should have been left off the NFL 100 list

OJ Simpson, like I get it, but I mean, come on, you could have very easily not put OJ Simpson on this list and nobody have been like, 'Hey, what the fuck? Why don't you put OJ Simpson on the list?'

This is a matter of editorial discretion rather than a verifiable fact.

Adrian Peterson, LaDainian Tomlinson, and Marshall Faulk were snubbed from the NFL 100 Running Back list

I think the three running backs that they totally missed and that at least two—no, actually, I think all of them are better than Earl Campbell: Adrian Peterson should be in there, LaDainian Tomlinson should be in there and Marshall Faulk should be in there.

Subjective historical debate, though common consensus agrees these three are among the greatest of all time.

LaDainian Tomlinson's peak was so ridiculous he's a top-four back all-time

LT was a—LT very clearly should be on this list... Adrian Peterson and LaDainian Tomlinson are probably two of the top four in the right [at their peak].

Subjective ranking.

NBA owners should marry their players to circumvent the salary cap

Could an owner theoretically marry a player in order to circumvent the salary cap? It's actually brilliant, isn't it? I don't think any holes in that... Michael Jordan could probably adopt his son or he could just have a son play and just write more and more into the will every year.

NBA bylaws have anti-circumvention rules that would definitely cover spousal gifts or inheritance-based pay.

Circus Peanuts are the most trash candy ever invented

My first one is no-brainer: circus peanuts. They suck. Universally regarded as the most trash candy to ever be invented... I think they're just invented so like dads can have candy that they know that their kids won't eat.

Rolos are trash

And Rolos. Rolos are trash. You take a bite of Rolos, I feel like every time I take a bite of Rolos my tooth is coming out with it.

Milk Duds are a trap because they get stuck in your teeth for four hours

I fucking hate Milk Duds. You never eaten a Milk Dud it didn't get stuck in your teeth for fucking hours? The most annoying candy to eat... It's like a fucking trap every time.
