    I think because they are true two way players. Cant say that for football and only pertains to some in baseball. I have seen top 10 lists for baseball but they are positional top 10s. Same as football.

    Agree with this, I found Clark was tolerable when he was paired with Mays but once Mays left I did not enjoy him.

    Mays and Tice are great together and I enjoy Lindsey Jones. They always have great topics and bring on some good guests.

    Kevin Clark sucks. I can’t stand listening to him try and make himself laugh.

    Remember his tweet mocking the teams who didn't sign Cam Newton the year he stunk it up with New England?

    He's just as bad as Peter Schrager at dropping names every 5 seconds, he has that smug "I used to be fat but I'm not anymore" energy

    I was listening to their NFL draft podcast and 1 of the Danny’s (Heifetz or Kelly, not sure) was going over prop bets for the draft. 1 was 1st round picks from the SEC. He was listing names of players in the SEC that will probably be 1st round picks and named a player “from Florida St”. I get there’s been a lot of realignment lately but how do you not know that Florida St is definitely not in the SEC?

    "This Celtics team has a chance to be the best defensive team to win a title since the 08 Celtics!"

    Didn't the Lakers have the #1 defense in the league when they won literally just 2 years ago? Or the Raptors that won the year before

    Also defending KD's cowardly move to Golden State by saying "Where else could he have signed?? He had no choice! The Lakers and Knicks were dumpster fires!" So the same dumpster fire that LeBron singlehandedly put out by winning a title? If you're a generational player and supposed 'ToP TeN GuY AlL TimE!" you can elevate any franchise just by being there.

    Did Lebron go to the Lakers at the same time KD could have? Or maybe it was completely different.

    It was different. KD showed up in 2017 and the Lakers were bad. Lebron used his influence to get AD in 19-20 which worked out great since they won but KD going there in 2017 isn’t the same.
