    "The Last Dance" Episodes 5 and 6, NBA News, Cowboys 2020 Schedule

    Still no sports yet, but the show goes on! JP and Hector talk about episodes 5 and 6 of "The Last Dance," including Isiah Thomas' snub from the Dream Team. Was it all on Jordan or was it a team decision? Also, Jordan's faults start to show in the form of his gambling and his refusal to endorse politician Harvey Gantt against well-known racist Jesse Helms. Is he in the right to stay out of the political realm, or is he trying to shape history to avoid looking like a bad person? Afterward, we talk about recent NBA news of practice reopening and the idea of Kevin Durant returning to the Nets if the season resumes. Also, does the shutdown help the Warriors odds of getting Giannis Antetokounmpo? We finish with discussing the Cowboys' 2020 schedule which released during the recording. If we get to see a full NFL season, we think the Cowboys have a good chance of bouncing back. Thanks again for listening! Subscribe, share, and send us questions.

    NFL Draft Review, "The Last Dance" Episodes 3 and 4

    JP and Hector are back discussing the biggest sporting event since the pandemic, the NFL Draft. The Cowboys had what is widely considered a highly successful draft, and we take a look at the roster as it stands. What other needs do the team have to address? Also, what's going on with Dak's contract status? Other teams that have major questions to answer include the Eagles and their selection of Jalen Hurts, the Packers trading up for Jordan Love, and the Patriots seeming to be all in on Jarrett Stidham. Afterward, we discuss The Last Dance episodes 3 and 4 which highlight Dennis Rodman, Phil Jackson, and their rivalry with the Detroit Pistons. Now that we're all caught up on the main characters of the dynasty, what are we hoping to see from here on out? As always, thanks for listening! Subscribe, share, and send us questions.

    Review: The Last Dance episodes 1 and 2, NBA Season Updates, NFL Draft Preview

    JP and Hector are talking this week about the premiere of the Bulls dynasty documentary, "The Last Dance." Two episodes are up now, is there anything new that we haven't learned by now about the team's run? What are we looking forward to with the remaining episodes? We also talk about the mention in Yahoo Sports about how Disney World can be a possible quarantine site to resume the NBA season. Is this really feasible or batshit crazy? Also, hear Hector talk about how much he hates Joe Burrow and what he thinks the Bengals should do with the first pick of the NFL Draft coming this week. Should he or Tua Tagovailoa be the top QB prospect? Should the Cowboys take either if they are available at their pick? Thanks for listening! Subscribe, share, and send us questions.

    Latest NBA Updates, Review: HBO's The Scheme

    It's the second episode with no sports! JP and Hector discuss the latest in NBA news including competitive 2K and HORSE, and the league acknowledging the season may be canceled. Are there any teams breathing a sigh of relief that the season is over? Also, how would Shaq do in today's game? Then we close out discussing the HBO documentary "The Scheme." It's a detailed look into an FBI scandal from 2017 involving one man's desire to build a sports management business and bribing coaches in order to make it happen. But is the bribery that goes on in this case really worthy of an FBI investigation? We talk about that and the seemly cover-up of others doing the same on top of other violations but with more parties that have something to lose. Is this justice or business?

    Sports Life After Coronavirus

    What the hell do we talk about now? With the worldwide response to COVID-19 including the shutdown of sporting events, everything has literally come to a halt. How does that affect the future of an incomplete NBA season? What opportunities are missed because of the shutdown? How does this affect the future of the Spurs? We talk all that as well as what we've been up to in order to pass the time during this outbreak. Thanks for listening! Subscribe, share, and send us questions.

    LeBron's philanthropy, the Spurs might be done

    The Double Shot duo is back! In this episode, Hector and John take a deep dive into LeBron's performance giving back to his community, in light of the recent news that the I Promise School has provided full-ride scholarships to the inaugural class. What kind of hope is there to see more institutions like this across the country? Why did it have to be LeBron to show that this level of support in the education system can have tremendous benefits in the long run? Afterward, we discuss the Spurs' abysmal season thus far. We discuss whether it's time to tank, what to do with DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge, and if the young guys are good enough to bring the Spurs back into contention in the future.

    Cowboys hire McCarthy, state of NFL playoffs, Spurs finally doing good things

    Double Shot is back! After an extended hiatus over the course of the holiday season, JP and Hector are back to discuss the wave of news and events that have occurred. First up, the Cowboys have finally ended the Jason Garrett era and have hired ex-Packers coach Mike McCarthy. How much of an improvement is he over Garrett? And what other changes should we expect? We also go over the entertaining wild card weekend which included another questionable ending to the Saints season, a wild Texans comeback, the TItans potential ending the Patriots run, and Seattle coming through against the limping Eagles. What can we expect next week and what is there to ponder for all the eliminated teams? In the basketball world, the Spurs are slowly creeping into the playoff picture after a totally abysmal start to the year. What's changed in the team's performance? Also, Kevin Love is sounding off in Cleveland until he gets traded, and we catch up on the Knicks who have let go of head coach David Fizdale. Thanks for listening, everyone!
