Live from Southern California, this is the Jim Rome show.

Let's start with the engagement farm.

It's been a minute since we have checked in on the engagement farm.

You know that lush 40-acre ranch where podcast co-hosts and wine-sipping buddies become NBA head coaches.

And a dude on that same team randomly has his kid on that team.

And that dude is also the GM.

It's the engagement farm.

Anything is possible.

Well, anything except a Larry O.

Not that I'm going to say it's impossible. It just doesn't seem very likely,

does it? Not at all. Just like it does not seem very likely at all that Farmer JJ is in fact

the second coming of Pat Riley like they made him out to be when they, er, the GM hired him.

Now, I say all of this based on the recent history of this team.

Three guys.

And it's also based on only the first eight games of the year.

But you know what else is based on?

It's also based on the fact that street clothes is already in his street clothes.

After this street close Davis.

And it's based on the fact that the farmer is already storming out of postgame pressers.
