NBA Commish '11th Hour' Decision? The Last Dance 7 & 8 (MJ's DNA, Pippen's Ego & More), NFL Schedule Review, Frank Gore: A HOF'er? COVID-19 Strikes MMA
Episode 130 starts off turbulent but lands smoothly as I bring you up to speed on what’s happening in the world of sports. On deck:
(3:13) I start off with a rant unrelated to sports as I dissect spring (or lack thereof) in the Northeast. I’m sure some people will agree.
(7:42) The NBA kicks off the nuts and bolts of the podcast as I detail the tough job that lies ahead for Commissioner Adam Silver as he navigates the league through this pandemic. I’ll review episodes 7 & 8 of The Last Dance as I discuss Michael Jordan’s DNA, does he get a pass for his foibles vs. Orlando in the ‘95 Eastern Conference Semifinals?, Scottie Pippen’s choice to sit out the final play of Game 3 in the 94 ECS and much more on this compelling documentary.
(34:34) The NFL schedule for 2020 is out. I’ll highlight the Thursday, Sunday and Monday night dockets, as well as the Thanksgiving and Christmas Day games. Also, is Frank Gore a future Hall of Famer?
(45:57) The MMA took a hit with the coronavirus over the weekend. Is this a sign of things to come for the rest of the leagues trying to get back into the sports scene?
(48:54) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.
