Rachel Nichols 07/27/16
The guys enter into their first ever Radio War with 97.5 the Fanatic's Anthony Garagano. Mt Rushmore of bad guys. ESPN's Rachel Nichols joins the show to talk NBA, famous Northwestern grads, and how we aren't very good journalists (but she still technically called us journalists, not to brag or anything). Segments include "PR 101", "Lebron James Free Agency Update", "Is Pat Riley Going To Die Soon", "Hurt or Injured", and new segment "Chip or Chump"
Mount Rushmore
PFT CommenterGod from the Old Testament is a top-tier bad guy
So I'll segue right from there into my number three which is God, God from the Old Testament. Kind of a bad guy. Threw a lot of stuff at people. People forget that. That God was kind of a hard ass.
PFT CommenterTom Brady is a bad guy
Number four on my Mount Rushmore of bad guys. Tom Brady. [Belichick] never got suspended. True. He only got fined.
Interview
Rachel NicholsNBA players should have the right to choose their super teams
I do believe that grownups should have the right to decide where they work. Kevin Durant was in Oklahoma City for almost 10 years. And if he wants to go play somewhere else, it doesn't really feel good for me as some random person sitting at home and saying, you know where I think you should live your life and work every day. I'm not a big fan of like the franchise tag.
PFT CommenterThe Warriors won't be good for the first half of the 2016 season
With Kevin [Durant] going out there, I have a theory that they're not going to be very good for the first half of the year next year. Only one ball.
Rachel NicholsLeBron James is playing a leverage game with his free agency
I think LeBron's playing a leverage game. And wouldn't you? Dude, I mean, that letter in Comic Sans, you can forgive, babe, but you don't forget.
Rachel NicholsWomen in sports media should know 'No' is a complete sentence
I always say like, here's my advice. No is a complete sentence. Like you don't have to justify to anybody why you're saying no to anything because I think young women sometimes feel like they have to.
Recaps
PFT CommenterLionel Messi is bleaching his hair to hide from tax fraud investigators
So, well, he did have brown hair, and now he just bleached it totally blonde. This adds to my theory that maybe he's a relative of Nazi... that's how you get away from tax fraud or whatever he was doing with his dad.
Is Pat Riley Dead Yet
Big CatPat Riley is building his next super team by 'hoodwinking' Dion Waiters
Pat Riley, he just took a step back down towards Earth on the stairway to heaven because this is how you build your empire back up. You hoodwink Dion Waiters a little bit. And the next thing you know, you got your next super team in place.
