Summary
San Antonio Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama was ejected for a vicious elbow in their loss to the Timberwolves and Dan thinks Wemby needs somebody to throw those elbows for him. And DP wonders if we have seen the last of tanking in the NBA after the NBA Draft Lottery took place last weekend. DP is celebrating his 70th birthday and the Danettes scramble to present appropriate gifts. The NFL schedule was released and although the opening game is a Super Bowl rematch between the Seahawks and Patriots, all that anybody is interested in is talking about Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini. And Rich Eisen joins Dan to talk about memories of SportsCenter and the new documentary he’s working on about the show’s history and alumni, helps to celebrate Dan’s birthday, and talks about how he was escorted out of the Mothership.
