Kevin opened with an exciting Facebook friend request and Thom opened with SMILE chalked out on a nearby sidewalk. They talked about the current states of play for the NBA and MLB. They also discussed the McGwire-Sosa 30 For 30 and Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy’s “OAN” tee-shirt.
Kevin opened with Mayor Bowser’s comments on the Redskins’ name on The Team 980 this morning. Ben Standig/The Athletic then joined the show for a good 45-min or so for a Skins’ football discussion as well.
Kevin had a problem with Thom thinking Andy would make a better Redskin HOF presenter than him. That’s where they started. They talked about the greatest NBA shooters of all time, Ron Rivera’s organizational leadership, and the latest Dwayne Haskins’ tweet as well.
Kevin had Jason LaConfora/CBS Sports on the show today. Among the topics: 1) Kevin as DC guy and Jason as a Baltimore guy talked about the dynamic between sports fans in both cities during the years with no baseball in DC and no football in Baltimore. 2) Jason shared some memories of covering the Redskins for the Washington Post. 3) Jason weighed in on Ron Rivera, Dwayne Haskins, the Anthem, Kaepernick, and more.
Kevin had to deal with a depressed Thom today. From a new world of journalistic rules, to Incel, to Death By Dignity. Thom was on the couch with Dr. Sheehan for much of the show. Some sports too including the new DC Sports Hall of Fame inductees and how the NFL will handle the anthem in 2020.
Kevin with more on Drew Brees to start before he got to the NBA’s re-start plan. What’s the NBA’s plan for handling Covid 19? They really don’t have one. Kevin explained. Then, Doug Kammerer/NBC 4’s Meteorologist was a guest on the show. Doug talked about lightning strike truths and myths. Kevin of course talked snow storm favorites with Doug as well.
