The Cavaliers are good, and the Browns trade might be - WFNY Podcast #487 Apr 21, 2016

Show notes

It's been a long week and I haven't had much of a chance to podcast. I attended the most recent Cavs game which is a mixed bag. It gives me something to talk about, but it saps one of the most opportune time periods that I use to record this very podcast. I had a few moments, so I recorded my thoughts on the Cavs and also the Browns recent trade down in the NFL draft.

Kobe Bryant's retirement tour lacked any authenticity - WFNY Podcast #483 Apr 14, 2016

Show notes

I'm trying really hard not to be a hater. Kobe Bryant is a great player. His accomplishments are obvious and great. That said, the wash, rinse, repeat retirement tour that we've come to accept in professional sports felt misused on Bryant. If there was ever a guy who should have walked away more quietly it was Kobe Bryant.

I discuss that at length, hopefully without being unfair to Bryant and the great things he's done. Still, I think we need to have a talk about authenticity and magic and sports coverage in the wake of it all.

Are the Cleveland Browns done with Josh Gordon yet? - WFNY Podcast #482 Apr 12, 2016

Show notes

The Cleveland Browns have held tight waiting for Josh Gordon for a long time now, and it's been commonly held that waiting was the only rational business decision. I feel like I've asked this question a million times now, but having seen Josh Gordon's latest trials and tribulations with drug testing, is now the time when they finally say enough's enough? Is the Hue Jackson, Sashi Brown, Paul DePodesta triumvirate going to find enough business reasons to hold on one more time and wait?

Also I discuss the Cavaliers locking down the number one seed and resetting the table for the playoffs in terms of record. I talk about the Warriors' amazing season and whether or not it was the best way to prepare for the playoff season. Trying not to be a hater, versus looking for a truth.

Lastly I talked about the NFL draft and just how highly Carson Wentz and Jared Goff project to be. Are they projected to be better quarterbacks than Joe Flacco and Andy Dalton? Do they project to be better than Ben Roethlisberger? Do they project to be better than Robert Griffin III?
