Summary

An NBA TV Mega-Preview, Good News About The Washington Post, and Your Favorite NFL Clichés Hello, media consumers! Bryan and David are back to discuss the worst response issued by the White House to a reporter's question, some good news about The Washington Post, and issues at Indiana University’s student newspaper (00:35). The two then dig into their NBA mega-preview! They talk about the return of ‘NBA on NBC Sports,’ including Mike Tirico's return to calling NBA games and the network's new broadcast format, "On the Bench," (20:00). They also get into why it’s exciting that Dirk Nowitzki is making his debut as an analyst with Amazon and that Ian Eagle finally became a no. 1 play-by-play announcer (25:34). To wrap the preview, Bryan and David wonder how ‘Inside the NBA’ will translate to ESPN and whether the network can finally develop a no. 1 announce team (31:44). They then dig into the Overworked Twitter Joke of the Week before diving into some favorite NFL clichés (35:45). The two close with David's guess for this week’s Strained-Pun Headline.
