Before we start, I wanted to introduce you to a new sponsor, Credible.com, which is an online

marketplace for student loan refinancing. Back when I had student loans, I definitely could have

used this using their simple platform. It takes less than two minutes to find out if you're

overpaying on your student loans. You can think of it as an aggregator for student lenders to see

if you can find a better rate. And the average user who refinances through Credible.com saves almost

$19,000 over the life of their loan. All you have to do is visit Credible.com slash cap space,

answer a few questions and right away you'll get real rates, not ranges of rates, for multiple

render lenders. Checking your rates will not affect your credit score. So you really have nothing to

lose. For a limited time, my listeners get a $200 welcome bonus when refinancing through Credible.com

slash cap space. That's Credible.com slash cap space. Let them know that you came from us.

certainly some weak points and it was a reminder that great offense can beat good defense a lot

of the time. But I was impressed overall with the way that Portland handled this. Their support

players did well. And they were able to keep this competitive despite not having games to the usual
