Summary
Rob and Kelvin explain how the Basketball Gods robbed us of Kyrie Irving’s chance at redemption and tell us how Kyrie's season-ending knee injury actually makes the Luka Doncic trade look even worse. Plus, longtime NFL insider Josina Anderson swings by to discuss her report on at least one NFL franchise being turned off by Shedeur Sanders’ braggadocio and why some front offices have such a hard time relating to ‘the culture’.
