    It’s sad because I enjoy these guys at times. These millionaire goobers should see that their analysts, producers, podcast team, writers, cinematography etc get paid more money vs the over pay to guys bloviating over sports journalism. Liberals always favor taking from someone else and redistributing it, but they never volunteer to share their wealth.

    Love the show but in last few weeks, GP’s mic has gotten painful to listen to. Too much bass, popping his P’s, all hard consonants are a problem. P, B, T, makes it a hard listen.

    These guys are great! Fun mixture of hoops and life. Entertaining and insightful. Keep up the great work.

    But as a Duke alum, how can you leave off Marcus Paige’s double-pump 3 from your top 10. No honorable mention or bringing it up when talking about Jenkins’ shot?!? Amazing.

    Oh, and Ali Forokmanesh’s shot for UNI!! Kevin Harlan’s bewildered and excited cry of "You can't be serious with that shot!" is one of the most famous calls in March Madness history.
