Rashee Not Worthy of KC, NPR's $113m Not Enough, Trump Ballroom is Fortress, Bill Self Opens Up, NBA Needs Higher Hoop, FIFA Fanfest Smells Fishy

About this episode

The episode discusses various topics including Rashee Rice's issues, NPR's financial situation, Trump's security measures, and Bill Self's comments, along with a strange FIFA ticket promotion and a crime story.

Ok, there is one thing we can all agree on. Rashee Rice is not worthy of playing for the Kansas City Chiefs. The terrible teammate, terrible friend and terrible partner is a continuing crap show that isn't good enough to stay. Reports, as he's in jail for 30 days, indicate he broke his probation by getting high. Other reports try to tamp it down and say this should have been served a year ago. Then another report that he's hurt and out for two months. Stop. Just stop. On to less controversial things like NPR having two listeners, yes two, that gave them gifts totaling $113 million and they still want to lay off employees. The Trump ballroom is suddenly a military installation and security facility for the White House. Yes please. Bill Self opens up with the Athletic and his non retirement sounds even more confusing. The new, biggest star in the NBA should be the last straw that leads to raising the hoop a foot and making the court bigger. I got an email from a strange source encouraging me to get FIFA Fan Fest tickets. This doesn't pass the smell test. And in our Final Final an overnight clerk at and Exxon station tries to steal money without hurting his employer and gets arrested.
