The Squad is together once again….well mostly. Join as they break down the latest in sports, and talk about getting TreyDay out of a suitcase?!
The guys discussed the eligibility criteria for the NBA Rookie of the Year award. The hosts discuss whether players who miss their first season due to injury should still qualify for the award. They debate the importance of experience, coaching, and getting paid as factors that differentiate rookies from collegiate athletes. The conversation also touches on the comparison between NBA rookies and college freshmen, and explores the idea of setting a minimum number of games played as a requirement for rookie status.
The next conversation revolves around potential landing spots for NFL free agents. The hosts discuss players like Derek Henry, Tony Pollard, Aaron Rodgers, Tee Higgins, Saquon Barkley, and Stefon Gilmore. They explore the fit of these players with various teams and the impact they could have on those teams' success.
The hosts also discuss the idea of erecting statues for athletes who have not yet been honored. The conversation then transitions to proposing statues for underrated athletes such as Bill Walton, Donovan McNabb, Brian Leetch, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Allen Iverson, Ricky Rubio, Johnny Flynn, and Jack Nicklaus.
The conversation also explores the idea of allowing higher-seeded teams in the NCAA tournament to play home games in the first round. The hosts discuss the benefits of home games, such as giving schools a chance to play on their own court and creating a better college basketball experience. They also express their dislike for neutral site games and the impact on the college environment. The conversation highlights the excitement and experience for fans, the potential for increased stakes and long-term benefits, and the perspective of purists who prefer to keep the tournament as it is.
Mike is super excited for Alex Wennberg to join his New York Rangers, and has high hopes for his contribution.
Grandpa J has had it with people thinking they could jump in and do what pro athletes, especially with hypothetical money on the line.
The USF Bulls have been one of the best teams in the country and Jon wants everyone to recognize not only their success, but the success of the American Conference.
TreyDay is heralding the return of the Big Man in the NBA and is excited to see where they all go from here.
Stump the Squad is here again! Will Grandpa J get back to his winning ways? Can TreyDay extend? Or will Mike or Jon get on the board? Find out who moves one step closer to the crown!
