Episode Notes
We kick off hour one in disbelief after Matt shows up wearing jeans, which somehow leads to a debate over just how backhanded of a compliment it is to be someone's "hear me out." We then shift to college sports, discussing the NCAA's proposed "5-for-5" rule as it looks to bring some much-needed structure to the current chaos in college athletics. We also talk about Dustin Poirier's arrest and why Brendan Sorsby could actually learn something from the way that situation has been handled. We wrap up the hour with a look at the NBA Draft and the New Orleans Pelicans' latest draft pick.
