    A quick recap on the history of the rivalry between NBA point guards Damien Lillard and Russell Westbrook that began way back in 2016. Since then the trash talk has been off the rails and culminated into one of the greatest rivalries in the modern NBA, and the playoff series between the Trail Blazers and Thunder took that rivalry to a whole new level. Gage breaks down every antic Russ and Dame had in the series, and how Lillard got the ultimate last laugh by sinking one of the greatest buzzer beaters in NBA playoff history.

    April 5, 2019: Too Much Zion

    The Final Four is finally hear, but it wasn't exactly the smoothest road to get here. Sports media has been drooling over Zion Williamson the moment he announced his commitment to Duke basketball last year. Since then, you couldn't escape the name Zion even if you tried. Sports media was talking about him at every waking moment and salivating over his talent. But now that Duke isn't in the Final Four, what do they do? Simple, lower their recognition and respect to the team that beat them: Michigan State. From digging up old controversies to flat out ignoring the team, sports media let MSU know that Duke was their favorite, and still talking about how great Zion is in the process. Has this gone too far?

    In the midst of March Madness, several prominent NFL players and one particular UFC fighter announce their retirements.

Guess which retirements people are skeptical about...

    Feb. 22, 2019: "Kraft"ing a Warrant
