Only group of people more likely than Hollywood celebs and Politicians to be crass egomaniacal betas: retired professional athletes and power players in those circles.

Heh, yup, I don't even bet, but I do like that segment. Outside of that, he seems ~fine.

Ramona shelbourn can lay off the stimulants on this latest Lowe pod my god... dominating every single topic and not allowing the smarter basketball minds in the room to actually flesh out what is interesting... holy hell.

Don’t invite her again... she doesn’t even allow for rebuttal to her terrible takes because she’s going 1000 miles per minute and Lowe and Pelton aren’t about to cut her off or call her out.

This pvn guy is getting smarter every day. First getting on team Clamp, and now taking down the worthless svp and maybe Priscilla too. pvn owning it.

But oh yeah pbn and me we're definitely on team Clomp and don't bring svp and Priscilla around no more, they're not invited to the party it's intelligent conversation only, no riff raff.

Not familiar with this Lisa character. Is she forcibly and unavoidably bad?

Hasn’t he technically not? I remember his name came up years ago about this type of stuff. It’s like he got it out early.

seems like every organization will ignore such situations unless someone really presses the issue once again

related: didn't the Boston Globe or someone just run a piece about all the ESPN sexual misconduct stuff? they have a lot of stuff that has been out there for long time now

Gonna miss the hell out of the Sports Pope.

Laugh all you want, but I've been a listener/watcher/streamer for 30 years. I'm a mongo and proud. It was just part of my work day to have him on. Got me through a Masters and Ph.D. Got me through dealing with the insanity of academia. Gonna have to find something else.
