Everybody’s talking about how Bill Belichick showed up to this morning’s press conference. In case you haven’t seen it, here:

Why are we surprised/fake outraged over this? Anybody who’s been paying attention (and I can’t believe that, as of 7 pm EST, I haven’t seen this joke) knows that Bill likes wrestling cougars.

1. Money.

3,006,794. “Our players want to play as long as we, the owners, can keep them healthy.” (NOTE: Not applicable in the U.S.)

3,006,795. Money.

3,893,267. “For the country’s morale.”

2. Pasta

3. Potato

4. Steak

5. Cobb

6. Caesar

8. The kind of chicken salad with grapes, walnuts, and some other bullshit.

If there’s one person who can make me start drinking during the show, it’s Ian Casselberry from Awful Announcing. Ian and I kavetch about baseball. Are we more optimistic than we were the last time we talked baseball? Oh, heavens no. Why do you think I’m going to start drinking heavier during the show?

I also become the first sports talk personality in the country to bring up a subject that no one has brought up yet. Listen to find out what it is.

Ian also has his own podcast called The Podcass, available wherever fine podcasts are distributed. Maybe one day, it’ll be on Himalaya, whatever the hell that is.

This country is reeling. It’s reeling from the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers and from the constant, nonsensical gas-lighting by President Trump. I’m in pain. My guest, Cal “Gameface” Lee, is also in pain.

It’s time for a lot of people, including myself, to shut up and listen. That will be how this whole mess gets fixed.
