Come take a seat here on the bench for episode 77 as I get things going with a couple takeaways early on from the NBA season, including some players and teams that I've been  impressed with this year. Later on, I get into a new segment I like to call "Buy it or Deny it" where I discuss a belief, claim or idea from the sports world and mention whether I deny or buy the claim I pose. To close out the show I am joined by a really great guest, current sports columnist for the kids post of the Washington Post and author of numerous children's sports books, Fred Bowen. Fred had a wonderful story to share, as he discussed his time as a lawyer before his writing career, what it's been like writing for children and much more!
