Introduction

First, It's Fake Questions, Real Answers (3:00) on why Deebo Samuel deleting the Niners from his social gets an eyeroll, how Adam Silver can fix the problem of the NBA's load management culture, if announcers are really moving the needle, why LeBron should start looking for younger teammates unlike the geriatric Lakers, and if he agrees with the New York Times new restrictive social media policy for journalists.

Then longtime Boston Globe sportswriter Bob Ryan and Colin discuss how the culture of healthy NBA scratches differs from the 80's NBA he covered (16:00), his biggest issues with the new HBO 80's Lakers series Winning Time (23:00), when he knew a rookie Larry Bird was a franchise changing player (27:00), if the 80's Celtics are more beloved in Boston than the Patriots dynasty (30:00), the Tampa Bay Tom Brady transformation, (33:00), how Belichick's arrogance has led to the Pats falling off (36:00), how the decline of baseball is noticeable even in Boston (43:00), how the Post-Brady Boston sports landscape has changed (45:00), and if Belichick needs to make the 'Patriot Way' less rigid to get better players (50:00).
