About this episode
The episode discusses the legacy of Ted Turner and current developments in the NBA playoffs and MLB standings.
Today’s word of the day is ‘superstation’ as in Ted Turner as in TBS as CNN as TNT as in Cartoon Network as in the Atlanta Braves. Turner was a media titan. He won a World Series in 1995 in his final year of owning the Braves. He was philanthropic. He was a great man. (7:40) The Knicks got in done again. Up 2-0 on the 76ers and two wins away from an Eastern Conference Final. The Sixers played without Joel Embiid. Never healthy. The Spurs came back in Game 2 and just dominated the Timberwolves. Just another level of beatdown. (17:12) Is Luka going to come back for the playoffs? He has a very bad hamstring tear. He went to Spain for PRP injections. This was an 8 week injury. It’s only been 5 weeks. (30:00) Review: I Love LA. (32:30) We are in the baseball twilight zone right now. The NL Central is on top of the baseball world. The American League looks like the upside down. Only the Yankees and Rays are above .500! (41:30) Let’s take a look at the ERA leaders this season. It is quite the list. (46:00) Framber Valdez was suspended. AJ Hinch was suspended. (47:53) NPPOD. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
