There’s a lot to appreciate here.

it sucks that tnt spent a zillion keeping the inside crew together for another hundred years hen they’ve been plainly bad for like a decade but that beast inertia hard to stop it

should be an interesting year for the ol drayman

yeah sorry but we're choosing violence

jj is so humorless and grandiose, type of guy who gets fired up talking about networking opportunities

i remember thinking JJ was great as the color guy when ESPN put him on games last year. but him and tommy alter as like serious pundits i need a barf bag

he could be good if hed just lighten up a bit and stop being captain save a player all the time, he understands the game hes good at talking on tv, hes just a giant bore

i know he says stuff like that because it’s good for business but even by that standard it’s an insane statement

thats his worst take ive heard

espn’s new score box is wonderful

wheres this?

like, on TV

i am still marveling at that barkley bus graphic. kd burner, russ on the outside, kawhi a blank slate. shit is rich. kudos to the uncredited(?) artiste

pylon chris paul

like, on TV

good story

“We were in the locker room for 9 hours after the game. Oklahoma didn't want us to go anywhere... Shoutout Chris Paul, he gave us 15 bottles of wine. We got drunk, not gonna lie."

Lol whoever this guy is he’s on the money. I can’t stand EJ

TBH @Jumpshot8 I thought it was in bad taste so I took it down.

I should've said Eddie Johnson is awful.

I hate being that blunt, but it's very bad. https://t.co/yJNcxTX9PS

who sponsors this podcast

https://i.imgur.com/ZzhBmEo.png

I still listen to the pod but the ad reads are so annoying because they blend it into the conversation. And my Xmas dream is to get rid of Tommy.

normally i would be expecting the ad money to dry up, but i don't think the sportsbook money is drying up anytime soon

i cannot handle the name "the old man and the three" i am sorry but

It’s truly the worst pod name

he should embrace the fatalism its the inspiration be like i shot all these threes and for what just to have a podcast, shit like that

lmao salute

prob why hes yelling about only every four years he let himself go lol

hahaha that rules, zach's adoption of croatia via marriage is very sweet

had to do some digging to figure out what the hell this meant but:

GOING FOR TWO
Kevin Arnovitz
An openly gay NFL quarterback finds his meticulously-planned life upended on and off the field when he
falls for a charming high school teacher during the most important season of his career

sorry, the blacklist is a list of scripts that some consortium of ppl have judged to be the best unproduced scripts in hollywood. ngl that premise sounds kinda terrible lol but good for kevin

*nfl quarterback falling in love* i gotta go throw the ball now call you monday

i guess if you're gonna quit your cushy and presumably well paying job covering the NBA for espn you might as well do it for a cheesy rom com script that might make you like $10 million or something

who's making $10M on a rom com spec

oh i didn’t mean spec, i mean more like making a hit film that gets you residuals or whatever (idk how hollywood works)

here are today’s streaming options for yesterday’s LA/BOS game 🤔

keep in mind i pay for this service

recommend skipping that one tbh

can understand not wanting to be around jalens mid life crisis fashion

It’s time. After 23 years with ESPN, we have mutually decided to move on. I’ve learned everything I know there, met my best friends there, met my wife there, and leave with zero regrets. I can’t wait to share what’s next.
