Finally a post Super Bowl edition. We follow up on our predictions from Episode 37—we were wrong. All wrong. But look at Payton Manning sidestepping HGH rumors from the Al Jazeera report published in December. Meanwhile Cam Newton wrote a pretty big public relations check being boisterous and cocky. Can he cash it? Will we allow him a chance to make good on his talent and brashness? And while Cam Newton was under the radar for his post game behavior, it was the Denver Broncos defense that pushed Cam off his mark on the field and off the mic during the post game press conference.

We also hit on the first regular season matchup between the Golden State Warriors and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Warriors just make it look easy. How?

What’s good Sacramento! Should the Kings boot George Karl or trade Boogie Cousins? Derek Fisher where are you? Busy chasing booty and not enough time thinking about triangle?

I’m dedicating this episode to Maurice White who passed away last week at the age of 74. Maurice White is of course the founder of the super group Earth, Wind & Fire. They perfected top-tier musicianship coupled with chart domination selling over 80 million records. And of course the African influence was on point and evident in their instrumentation, polyrhythms, wardrobe and albums covers. If you’re aware of the music around you chances are you can identify a key moment in your life, a celebration, a family affair or Netflix and chill (the reasons why we’re here) and Earth, Wind & Fire was part of the soundtrack.
