Episode 11 - Sports Court in Session, J.R. Smith in Question! Mar 22, 2016

This week, we move from the b-ball court to the court room! Hooli posits, if it pleases the jury, that NBA player J.R. Smith may in fact be a garbage human being. The Joe argues that, possibly, he is a creation of our current sports atmosphere. The honorable M.B. Smith presides. (Recorded 3/21/16)

He'll tell us all about which quarterbacks looked good, who fell flat, and why he enjoyed seeing blameless young men fail in their chosen tasks.
