0:00.0	And away we go, episode 338 of the Algoldy podcast, it is Friday, June 17, 2022, and we
0:28.7	have a new NBA champion, the Golden State Warriors. They are NBA champions for a fourth time in eight
0:38.9	seasons a 103-90 win at the Boston Celtics on Thursday night to win the NBA Finals four games to
0:46.8	two, but forget about Steph Curry and Clay Thompson and Dremont Green and Jordan Poole, I want to talk
0:55.1	about the former Wizards on the Warriors. Yes, I said former Wizards on the Warriors. This podcast
1:04.0	after all is a Washington DC sports podcast. Are you aware of the not one, not two, but three former
1:13.3	Wizards on the Warriors? Those players are Otto Porter Jr. Gary Payton the second and Chris
1:20.7	Chiosa. Are you aware that this now is six consecutive seasons in which the NBA champion has had
1:30.0	at least one former Wizards player? That is something else, isn't it? Six consecutive seasons.

2:26.8	which will take place in the United States, Mexico and Canada, not among the host cities.
2:33.2	Washington DC. Now, the belief was never that DC literally would be a host city. The belief
2:40.4	was never that the immediate DC area would be a host city, because even FIFA is aware of how much
2:46.9	of a horror show FedEx field is. The hope was that DC slash Baltimore would be a host city, but DC
2:55.3	slash Baltimore got dist. M&T Bank Stadium was looked at as a very possible host stadium,
3:03.9	but M&T Bank Stadium did not get the call. Look, I'm not some massive soccer fan,
3:10.0	but I do respect soccer and I'm well aware of how well soccer does in the Washington DC area.
