Death By Dinosaur

Team USA got smacked around at the UCI BMX World Championships in Belgium; have Americans gotten too soft? The Houston Rockets launch "Iso-City" on the NBA, and Running Back Melvin Gordon holds out of Los Angeles Chargers training camp. In MLB news, the Cincinnati Reds beat up the Pittsburgh Pirates--literally.

The road to the NBA Championship will go straight through Los Angeles. Zion Williamson could have been Emperor of China, but signed the wrong big-time shoe deal. Adrian Peterson spent $100 million on birthday parties and baby-mamas, and on the BMX racing front I analyze how pro-ams have contributed to the demise of the US pro class.

Boxing legend Floyd "Money" Mayweather gets his ankles broken in a game of basketball, the city of New York struggles to stay relevant in the NBA, and I question why global shoe icon Vans seems to have turned its back on the BMX race industry.

Only in America can a person get a free ride to college, earn lots of money kicking a soccer ball, enjoy an entire month publicly celebrating her sexuality, and STILL claim to be a victim. In other news, Texans are mourning the death of fast-food-sellout Whataburger, and a long-standing BMX track in Louisiana takes its ball and goes home.

The first domino has fallen... a global distribution giant shakes up the BMX industry! Game of Thrones disappoints all of Earth (and probably the universe), a Golden Girls obsession lands an ex-NFL superstar in hot water, and apparently there are some weirdos in this world that eat cinnamon rolls with chili.

I talk about the ongoing NBA Playoffs, and fallout from the recent NBA Draft Lottery. Maybe we could apply some of the same policies to BMX teams that make other leagues and competitions so wildly entertaining? Roster limits, annual drafts, and even teams divided by region seem to make good sense...

Pick-up basketball sure has changed--and getting old sucks! I provide a truly-biased review of the NBA playoffs, as well as a painful summary of my keto experience. On the BMX front, perhaps it's time to change the marketing scheme to something besides "no one sits the bench in BMX."

On this episode I talk about my addiction to Game of Thrones, as well as the useless $35 million Mueller Report paperweight. In true keto-guy fashion, I'll also tell you about my recent transition to a meat-and-cheese-heavy diet. Finally, I talk about the evolution of helmets in the BMX industry!

Tiger Woods makes grown men cry during his redemption at the Masters. After a close call in Oregon, the BMX community continues its time-honored tradition of "lift the rug and sweep." And, finally, I debunk (7) dipshit arguments currently floating around on the interwebs. Spoiler Alert: BMX Dads are not in fact Gremlins!
