Professor Mike Lewis kicks off this week's podcast with a discussion on XFL's minor league football comeback as well as its first hurdle - a Megan Rapinoe-endorsed lifestyle brand with similar branding.

Then, the NBA Playoffs take center stage as Mike and I discuss the benefits of the Play-In format for the league and its fans. Mike also explains why 2022 Playoffs betting odds fail to reflect regular season standings as we begin what will be an ongoing discussion on the NBA Playoffs.
