A Plea to LeBron James--Cut the Crap with China

Jake Donnelly presents a plea to LeBron James in light of his on-and-off court issues; cut the crap with China and stop accepting Chinese blood money. But don't do it for the Uighurs, don't do it for your followers, or even do it out of the goodness of your heart. Do it to accomplish the one thing you've always desired; to be better than Michael Jordan. The ball is in your court, and you're one-on-one against China. Do you dunk on China or let them dunk on you?

Jewish Conservatives Episode No. 36--Freedom? Not Without a Fight

The saddest part about Americans' unwillingness to fight for freedom is how easy our fight is right now. Nobody is asking every civilian to pick up an M1, M4, or M16. All anybody needs is a simple two-word response, "no!" Say "no" and fight for freedom. If you don't do it now, you won't be able to do it later. Sorry for the lack of video, but too many people over this week so I lost my studio space (the downside of Florida). Please read the full article here: https://www.jakedonnelly.com/freedom-not-without-a-fight-ever/ Also, remember to support Jewish Conservatives (https://jewishconservatives.locals.com/), and see the full post here:

Bagoon's Barrage Episode No. 29 (Comeback Wins Percentage) 7/21/17

Jake Donnelly (AKA "Bagoon") takes a shift away from what was going to be a rant about extra inning baseball, and instead hits the topic of the day (Intro-1:30). Jake buries the lede a bit while discussing Mike Sando's GOAT Index, which he loves because he outsourced it so the resulting list makes pretty good sense (1:30-3:40), even though Jake would change some things (3:40-4:50). Jake takes a break to call Tony Dungy an asshat and one of the saltiest coaches of all time when discussing Brady/Belichick (4:50-6:26) before delving into the article (6:26-8:50) and what has him so angry; Comeback Wins and how the stat doesn't tell you what happened in the first three quarters (8:50-13:00). Jake then gets heavy into the math and decides to figure out how to improve the stat by incorporating total wins and comeback wins (13:01-17:55) before showing why that version of the statistic doesn't quite work out because of the Aaron Rodgers outlier (17:56-20:25). Is there an answer though? Yes there is: Comeback Wins Percentage , which shows how Aaron Rodgers is one of the greatest front runners of all time (20:26-24:00) and Peyton Manning is really good in the comeback department (24:01-25:14), but Tom Brady is the GOAT in this stat too (25:15-28:35). Jake was about to sign off when he checked his phone and saw the Kyrie Irving trade desire and ranted about that for about five minutes before eventually, finally signing off (28:36-End).

Bagoon's Barrage Episode No. 28 (Drew Pomeranz & Gordon Hayward Rant) - 7/4/17

Jake Donnelly (AKA "Bagoon) dishes on the subjects he will touch on in the July 4th, 2017 episode of Bagoon's Barrage: the Boston Red Sox are playing great, Dustin Pedroia is on fire, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum were terrific in the first summer league game (Start-1:30) before diving into the Topic of the Day (1:30-3:00) , "the Drew Pomeranz/Anderson Espinoza Trade." Jake discusses the background of the trade and goes back in time to last year and why he pulled the trigger on the trade (3:00-6:02). He discusses the aftermath and the duplicitous medical staff of the San Diego Padres (6:03-9:12) and how after the 2016 trade it looked like the Red Sox clearly were the losers in that trade (9:12-9:56). Jake goes on to explain though how half a year later the Red Sox clearly look like the winners of the trade because Pomeranz has returned to his All-Star form (9:57-14:35), which is outstanding because it wasn't the only top prospect Dombrowski traded away in the offseason (14:36-16:40). Not only is Pomeranz back to his early 2016 form, but things aren't looking good for Espinoza (16:41-19:16) and if the Padres are pulling their best Frank Drebin (19:17-20:53). Jake says that people are right to rag on Dombrowski for bad moves like Travis Shaw/Pablo Sandoval (20:54-22:15), but that they should definitely give him credit when things work out (22:16-22:48). He finally hits on how well the Red Sox are playing (and wishes Canada a belated Happy Canada Day) and in particular Dustin Pedroia while giving a recap of the most recent game (22:49-28:18). He also relays how well the Boston Celtics young guns played in their first Summer League game of the season (28:19-32:42) before wrapping things up with the Gordon Hayward fiasco (32:43-End).
