MIGHTY RIP

I know exactly what your thinking, there is no way in the world that James Harden is going to win an NBA title this year with LeBron and Kawhi hanging out in the West. While its probably more likely that Nicolas Cage will revive his character as Johnny Blaze, and ride Ghost Rider 3 all the way to an academy award, I do think there are some legit reasons why Harden and the Rockets could walk away with a title this year. I'll give you 5 reasons the Rockets could walk away with the championship. Plus, FedEx applies pressure to the Washington Redskins to change their name, and I explore the brilliance of the Cam Newton deal that Bill Belichick pulled off. https://mighty.rip

Drew Brees makes ridiculous comments and then is schooled by other athletes and walks back his tone-deaf comments. The NBA announces a return to glory with 22 teams living and playing hoops in a bubble city in Disney World. Plus some thoughts on how to solve some of the social injustice issues.

Recap of the totally entertaining "The Match 2." Tom Brady delivers the golf shot of the year after Charles Barkley and the rest of the internet pile on him for playing poorly. TOPIC 2: Michael Jordan says one thing about Isaiah Thomas being on the 92 USA Team, but the audio says another thing. TOPIC 3: Mark Cuban wants all 30 teams to compete in the NBA playoffs which is ridiculous. Seriously, teams like the Warriors, T-Wolves, Cavs, Pistons, Hawks, Hornets, Wizards, Bulls, and Knicks have no business being in the playoffs this year.

Shaquille O’Neal is so wrong about scraping the NBA season. In an interview with the USA Today Shaq said the following: "I think we should scrap the season. Everybody go home, get healthy, come back next year. Just scrap the season. Just scrap it," O'Neal told the USA Today

"To try and come back now and do a rush playoffs as a player? Any team that wins this year, there's an asterisk. They're not going to get the respect.

"What if a team that's not really in the mix of things all of a sudden wins with a new playoff format? Nobody is going to respect that. So, scrap it. Worry about the safety of the fans and the people. Come back next year."

Plus, Tua signs a huge deal and already has the #1 selling NFL Jersey.

Watching Peyton Manning destroy Tom Brady during the Capital One "The Match" video stream this week, it became clear to me that Manning should absolutely jump in and save The Monday Night Football booth. Clearly ESPN aka The Mothership should sign Manning. Let's face-it, Manning has a lot of Dandy Don Meredith in him. Plus, I cover the bizarre Todd Gurley story about The Los Angeles Rams not paying him what he is owed!

So Andy Dalton signed a small contract with the Dallas Cowboys and that should have been great news for Cowboys fans! However, fans and members of the media have turned the signing into an episode of the 1980's soap opera "Dallas." Plus, should the NBA finish its season with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck in an Orlando bubble city?

The news of Gronk heading to Tampa should have shocked nobody. Maybe the worst kept secret in the NFL was Rob Gronkowski would only come out retirement to play on a team with Tom Brady.

As for Tampa Tom, he was able to get his safety net out of retirement by only giving up a 4th round pick to the Patriots. Look, Tampa Bay is a great place to retire and eating dinner at lunchtime is always better when you have a buddy with you.

So good old Roger Goodell is going to conduct the NFL Draft from his basement in an undisclosed location someplace in New York. Now I’m sure Goodell’s basement is actually not a typical basement. I imagine Goodell has one of those prototypical man cave bars that is fully loaded with a ton of whiskey, bourbon and how hard to pronounce wine. The bar probably also includes a see-through mini-refrigerator which is fully loaded with Bud Light Seltzer that Goodell never drinks.

The very idea that Jerry Krause and Jerry Reinsdorf felt like they needed to rebuild the Chicago Bulls in the late '90s is crazy. It would be equivalent to Robert Kraft saying that he had enough of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick after 3 Super Bowl Championships.

Krause and Reinsdorf clearly are the undisputed villains of the first two episodes of 'The Last Dance." The fact that refused to redo Scottie Pippen's contract when he was one of the 10 players in the NBA says everything you need to know about the Jerry's.

As for Michael Jordan, it was awesome to be reminded of his legendary work ethic in practice and during games.

Plus I recap 'the last week in sports' which includes John Daily's cure for the coronavirus, Mel Kiper just released his 115 mock draft, the OBJ rumor that was just a rumor, the PGA Tour is coming back, Tua is a significantly better NFL prospect than Joe Burrow and Jose Canseco continues to take shots at Alex Rodriguez.

It is hard to believe, but it has been more than two decades since Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, and a ragtag cast of characters won their 6th and final championship. The documentary will primarily feature footage that an NBA Entertainment crew complied as they followed the Bulls around for the entire 1997-98 season. Beyond the footage, the documentary will feature a ton of present-day interviews which I’m sure will be highly entertaining. Look I can’t wait to see Dennis Rodman’s hair color, clothes, and yes I’m looking forward to trying to decode what he says.

After weeks of trying to figure out how to make PGA Tour events viable during the coronavirus pandemic, The PGA Tour announced its plans to return in June.

The plan currently calls for play to resume with the first 4 events closed to the general public. Basically, players will no longer have a reason to yell ‘four’ because no one will be lining the edges of the fairway.

Michael Jordan is officially set to fly into your life for the first time since his final…final retirement back in 2003. So get your flat screens, smartphones, mobile devices, and Dennis Rodman speech decoder ready for the premiere of ‘The Last Dance’ which will air on April 19th at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN.
