Hey, Rod and J Steele! I hope you guys had a good week. Wooooooo, LEBRON IS SHAKING THE TABLE! He just asked Mr. BBB, “WHO YOU FINNA TRY? I BET IT AIN’T ME, OOH BITCH IT AIN’T ME. CAPS! CAPS! CAPS!” I knew Mr. BBB went too far when he basically called LeBron an absentee dad. I guess he hasn’t been paying attention since last June. LeBron HAS TIME for people who talk recklessly about him, so he definitely will make time for people who bring his kids up. That shit was so unnecessary. He didn’t need to attack LeBron’s parenting to make the point that he doesn’t have to shut the fuck up. But, now, it would be very wise for him to do exactly that. SHUT. THE. FUCK.UP. He’s doing way too much right now. He basically has me low key agreeing with Charles, and that’s unforgivable. Ugh… Anyway, I really enjoyed last week’s show. It’s one of my favorite episodes ever and Rod’s very detailed explanation to ol boy about how he ain’t worth shit to the university is something all “they don’t deserve to be paid” college fans need to hear. Everyone else tip toes around their fragile little feelings, but it is what it is.
Did you see Cam has to have surgery? I know they were trying to “avoid” it, but this should have been done literally months ago. He has access to the best doctors, but he’s out here on some wait and hope it just heals on its on like a regular ass uninsured nigga. He must have Obamacare so his deductible is high. lol Love you, Barry. However, the fact that he’s just now getting surgery makes me think he hasn’t really lost touch with his blackness after all. Putting off medical help is peak black man shit! LOL Just kidding…Sorta. Anyway, have a great weekend, guys! Later.
Hey Rod and J-Grayson Allen
Last week when you were looking at that clip of Stephen A. Smith on First Take, Justin was curious who the fine woman on the show was; she’s the new host (taking over from Cari champion) her name is Molly Qerim, 31 y/o, she’s half Albanian and of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean descent. She’s dating Jalen Rose and I believe they are engaged.
Also, Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe are the co-hosts of “The Undisputed†on FS1, which is basically the exact same show as First Take.
I had Villanova vs North Carolina in the NCAA championship game so I guess I still have a shot to win. On the TBGWT bracket pool I did a total random pick and let the computer fill my bracket out.
Sage Steele apparently tweeted that the BSO site lies about her (“Typical @BSO. Lie/attack when they disagree. Not a good look!â€) and Rob Littal didn’t take kindly to her accusation. He went in on Sage and pulled receipts, talking about her negative comments over the years putting down black people while basically praising white people. I don’t know if you saw his response but it’s an “ether†moment. I remember when she was a guest on Cari Champions podcast several years ago and she was talking about not being accepted by her fellow black ESPN co-workers, looking back now she may have always had issues with black people. The self-hate is apparent, if she could take a magic pill and turn herself 100% white she would probably do it in a heartbeat.
Have a great week and keep up the good work. Peace.
Hey Rod and Coach J
Only caught the last five minutes after Badlands, but I got time to laugh at Duke losing again. Y’all were the favorites in Vegas, and now you’re only the third best team from the Carolinas? Grayson Allen couldn’t help you get a leg up on the competition? How does it feel? The sad part I can’t even ride too hard for South Carolina because they have the damn Confederate flag flying from the top of the arena. Some shit never changes.
And speaking of the plantation if Banga listens to the show, I’m gonna assume they’re cool so I won’t go too hard. They might be young, I remember being broke in college,getting by on Ramen noodles, but I need to add economic context to paying players. When Butler and George Mason went to the final four in 2011 they did a study and figured out they got between $450 million and $675 million worth of exposure for each school. Even if you only give a quarter of that to the players, that’s enough to pay each player $10 million. And folks are banging on them because they get free gatorade and sneakers? Bruh…
And that doesn’t count the Billion dollar a year deal the NCAA has with CBS for just the tournament, or the multi billions each conference gets on tv deals, OR the fact that schools that go to the tournament get more applications which leads to higher enrollment fees, alumni donations, and a lower acceptance rate which lets them seem more prestigious. Half the people you went to college with were only there because of the sports teams, players are working full-time hours and generate ALLL the money. Everybody else gets to eat, shouldn’t just stop the Black kids from getting theirs.
Alright y’all appreciate it as always. Liked the show more than Kyrie did Get Out.
R.I.P. Sage Steele
Just listened to this episode, great show as always. That guys letter about Ben Simmons was pretty bad though, it lacked facts and knowledge of how college sports actually works. Yall should of just had that old song with mase singing playing in the background “ladies theres some jealous guys”. Reading between the lines it just seems like the guy was jealous of everything the athletes get because he cant dribble a ball and get the perks.
