  • Stop with the gun shots

    I love this show. I think Tony and Mike are national treasures.

    Stop opening the show with the terrible clickbait ad for your other espn podcast about somebody getting murdered. The gunshots and 911 audio are unnecessary and make me want to unsubscribe.

    Thanks.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Should the NBA have suspended LaMelo Ball?
Q: What does this mean for the league's enforcement of penalties in similar situations?
They suggest that future penalties should balance fairness and deterrence, potentially including a one-game ramp or a similar impactful sanction to set a clear precedent.
Should the NBA have suspended LaMelo Ball?
Q: Should Ball have been suspended according to the hosts?
Initially uncertain, the hosts shift to support a suspension under the logic of intent and impact, ultimately leaning toward a one-game penalty to preserve competitive integrity, even at the cost to Charlotte.
Did Ovechkin Play His Last Game?
Q: Wilbon, do you think Ball should have been ejected for the ankle grab?
The hosts and Windhorst leans suggest there should have been a harsher penalty, with discourse that a flagrant foul would have been appropriate and a potential injury risk acknowledged.
Who has the BEST chance to win the Masters?
Q: Which players are being watched most closely for potential Masters success, and why?
Players like Scottie Scheffler are watched for potential multiple Masters wins, Rory McIlroy is noted for past glory but questions about current motivation persist, and Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm are highlighted for their experience and form, though recent rounds have introduced some volatility.
Who has the BEST chance to win the Masters?
Q: What do you think is the biggest storyline at this Masters given the notable absences?
The hosts agree that while there is no single dominant favorite, the absence of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson clears space for other contenders to emerge, with emphasis on players like Scheffler, Koepka, Rahm, and Reed who could capitalize on Augusta's dynamics this year.
