Summary

Chris Paul of the Phoenix Suns is playing some inspired basketball and it's great to see the veteran shine during the playoffs. How the Suns are destroying the Nuggets. You know it's bad for Denver when the head coach says the team quit! Donovan Mitchell only seems to be talked about when the Jazz go on a playoff run. Why it's trick or treat with the Clippers. The Bucks can't hang with the Nets even with out Harden. When will Milwaukee get Giannis a true number 2? How will MLB regulate foreign substances on the baseball? Is it cheating or just pushing the edge? And a potentially devastating scandal is looming at the University of Michigan. What did former football coach, Bo Schembechler, know about inappropriate touching between a team doctor and players? If this turns out to be true... does he get the Joe Paterno treatment?

0:56.6	I said, okay, same old, same old, here we go again. And what we have seen so far from him,
