Blah

Love this pod & listen religiously, but does anyone feel like these topics are just so stupid & unnecessary? Made up nba awards? Why not just talk about the games, the teams & players trending up or down, playoff potential, gambling content… please no more fake trades or comparing golfers to nba teams. Don’t over complicate things bill
