*We had a slight problem with the audio this episode. We will make sure its fixed next time*

It has been an absolutely insane week in sports, and I called in a real deal, no lie professional broadcaster in to help navigate the everything that went down. Sam Franco from 960 the Ref is back to help the NBA not screw up a potential money maker, make weirdly prescient predictions about the outcome of the Pats game (ugh) and dip into some listener mail regarding perhaps the greatest "When Football Quit You" story I've ever heard. We also take the time to get serious, as we discuss the inexcusable inaction of every level of authority with the tragedy coming out of the US Olympic Gymnastics team and the lack of coverage of the same.

Topics:

• CFB Playoff: National Title Game and hope for tomorrow.
• Our newfound sports atheism, not a bad way to live!
• CFB: Nepotism now.
• USOC: Larry Nasser trial. He keeps trying my dedication to be anti-death penalty.
• USOC: Can't fix a broken system without tearing it down.
• USOC: We have to talk about it because no one else will.
• NBA: Oceans' 14.
• NBA: All fights matter.
• NBA: Pick the teams live Adam Silver.
• NFL: LOL Saints.
• NFL: Remember when the Eagles were excited about a young, up and coming QB?
• RIP Tyler Hilinski.
• National Suicide Prevention Hotline: 1-800-273-8255.
