Summary

Rich discusses the NBA’s big tanking issue and discusses the drastic option of doing away with the draft and making all incoming rookies free agents from the get go. In ‘Overreaction Tuesday’ Rich weighs in on the possibility of Tyreek Hill rejoining Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, Tua Tagovailoa’s and Kyler Murray’s uncertain futures with the Miami Dolphins and Arizona Cardinals, if the Raiders should trade All-Pro DE Maxx Crosby, the NBA All-Star Game and Slam Dunk Contest, and more. ESPN’s Jeff Passan and Rich discuss the impact of MLBPA head Tony Clark’s resignation on a possible baseball work stoppage during the next CBA talks, if there’s a shelf life to the Dodgers’ current run of dominance, and how the new ABS balls & strikes challenge system could change the way we view games at home.
