Touchdowns and Tangents

We fucked up and lost count of the episode number again. This might be 127 or 125. Kenny an Pete will slander each other next week with the correct number. Future Hive Assemble.

Bennett on Kap
"If [white quarterbacks] were to take a knee with Kaepernick, that conversation would totally change," Bennett said during a Thursday discussion hosted by The Atlantic (h/t Tom Schad of USA Today).

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2838955-martellus-bennett-if-white-qb-took-a-knee-conversation-would-totally-change

"If Tom Brady took a knee, white America would be like, 'Oh my God! What is this that Tom Brady's talking about?' They would start doing research and would join in the conversation. ... It would pique their interest. But since it's a black guy taking a knee, it's like, 'Alright, these guys, here he goes again. It's another one of these guys out there doing this.'"

Is Gurley a bell cow? Rap says no
"The days of Todd Gurley just being the straight-up, every-down bell cow are probably over, just based on his knee, his age, the position, the amount of carries he's had. It's probably not going to be like that, which by the way is maybe why the Rams drafted a running back in the third round, someone they really like a lot. This is a team that is clearly ready to spread the ball around."

Hardknocks

Back from a week off doing who knows what with who knows who, Kenny, Pete and intern Cerv got back in the studio to discuss their memorial day weekend, NFL free agency, the state of NFL collective bargaining, the player's union, in memoriam and college football news. Kenny also reflects on his journey and finally graduating from CSUN.

This episode was done a week before Kenny Graduated from California State University, Northridge. Sorry for the delay. Won't happen again. Kenny and Pete took a week off for the first time in two years after this episode. Xavier Howard got paid, Telvin Smith is sitting out next season and the Seattle Seahawks released Kam Chancellor and Doug Baldwin. Catch up on the latest news now. Josh Rosen v.s. the Arizona Cardinals continued. Kenny also was on deadline to finish the last essay of his college career.

Wendy's pre-show talk, the Seattle Seahawks, Kyler Murray gets more football than baseball money, and the latest free agent signings. Telvin Smith walks away from football for a year and Cleveland Brown one year legend Derek Anderson retired. Kenny also makes Pete revisit the definition of a taco, a French fry and if a hot dog is a sandwich.

What's worse: ketchup on a taco or mustard of fries? We recapped the NFL Draft, the Josh Rosen trade, Tyreek Hill, what a role model's role is, the Packers giving away Clay Mathews number away and much more.

Live from Joxer Daly's bar in Culver City Kenny & Pete cover the first round of the NFL Draft, Patrick Mahomes on Madden Cover, NFL Draft trivia, Marshawn Lynch retiring, what this podcast is like, who won the first round, is Kenny all in with the Raiders and much more on what was a wonderful night celebrating Pete's birthday and Kenny graduating from California State University, Northridge aka CSUN. What's your impact?

Russell Wilson hands Future hive/FreeBandz movement another loss with his record-breaking deal. Pete doesn't realize "Old Town Road" is a bop & for the culture. Put respect on the name of Lil Nas X & Billy Ray Cyrus. Pete talks about his Coachella aka Influencer Olympics. Kenny, Pete & Cerv argue about whether egg on a sandwich is charged as veggie or meat. Our live remote is April 25th at 8 p.m. at Joxer Daly's which is close to Washington & Sepulveda. The address is 11168 Washington blvd, Culver City, Calif 90232.

Kenny and intern Cerv speak on the funeral of Nipsey Hussle, the effect on the city, Nick Bosa's posturing, athletic entitlement, who got paid, who got paid, Antonio Brown v.s. Juju Smith-Schester and so much more.

On a somber start to the podcast, Kenny, Pete and intern Cervon speak on the murder of Los Angeles legend Nipsey Hussle, his legacy, impact and the outcome of everything surrounding the coward who killed him and hood culture. Kenny goes on to elaborate the culture of "not snitching" and what the definition of snitching means in the streets. Friend of the show, Oakland native, CSUN alum and journalist Sean Thomas calls in to talk some baseball, the state of Athletics baseball, stadium issues, violence amongst baseball fan bases, Wrestlemania and why Nation's is the best burger chain and restaurant in California. The Aaron Rodgers bleacher report article is discussed and some Touchdown or Turnovers are played. RIP to Nipsey Hussle aka the Great aka Neighborhood Nip, father, brother, son and heart of Los Angeles.

Peep our entire rundown this week. Our intern Cervon stepped to the mic to kick some game on the Special Olympics fiasco, the good and bad side of retirement and hood food hierarchies.
