Summary

The dictionary defines tanking as deliberately losing or failing to finish. Jason delves into Mark Cuban actually saying that the NBA should embrace tanking. Cuban implied that teams should be more focused on the game-day experience and ticket prices than on tanking. Dre Baldwin, Steve Kim, and Jay Skapinac join the show, offering their takes on Cuban’s comments, the notion that Michael Jordan could become the face of NASCAR, and the cancellation of Cam Newton’s BET show, “106 and Sports,” after only eight episodes. This cancellation followed Newton's remarks about not having any attractive women in his life to avoid sexual relations with them. Danny Kanell makes his weekly appearance, opining on Kyler Murray, Travis Hunter, and Tyreek Hill. Jason closes the show by checking in on the journey of Pastor Brooks as well as the pastor’s remembrance of Jesse Jackson. ​​Today's Sponsors: CB Distillery Everything CB Distillery makes is premium quality — no artificial fillers, no junk.
