Summary

Rich reacts to the NBA fining Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks for tanking their last game of the regular season when they had a chance to make the Play-in Tournament and ponder how the NBA Playoffs would be dramatically different if teams winning their division actually counted for something. Rich and the guys wade back into the ‘next 007’ debate and come up with some possible drills if there were a James Bond Combine’ a la the NFL Scouting Combine and react to the slow-moving Aaron Rodgers trade between the Jets and Packers.
