NBA DRAFT: When It's Close at 1/1, You Just Don't Want to Hold The "Rubber Chicken"

Czabe unlocks SCOTT LINN and STEVE SOLOMON from behind the paywall this week for a brisk Thursday jaunt through the pod. The lads talk about Solly's failed political campaign, the astonishing details about the woman who stole the stupid Knicks trash can, and why the WNBA remains the most un-serious of leagues. Also, Becky Hammon isn't wrong, she's just going to pretend that she isn't.

Czabe reconnects with two old radio friends, JOSH ALBRECHT and MATT MUELLER, to discuss the Greek Freak era finally coming to an end in the Brew City, with the NBA blockbuster trade that everybody saw coming from a mile away. Whose fault was it anyway? Can you believe many fans are now playing the "he's dead to me" card? Would Buck fans have liked to take their chances with Jalen Brown instead?

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN to talk about a big week for the NBA. The woeful Wizards, having won just 50 games in 3 years, are sitting at 1/1 in the draft. Dybansta or Peterson? Oftentimes, the worst of the two ends up totally sucking. Giselle posts an IG to her new beau on Father's Day. Dusty May gets out before the posse gets to Ann Arbor. Linda Cohn hangs 'em up. Durant needs to just stop talking. Save your cash, athletes.

Czabe runs a crisp solo pod today... discussing how f'ing good ol' Team USA looks right now in the World Cup, group winners and ready to rest their loins before knockout play. What if we are *good* at soccer now? More news and notes from World Cup, plus the amount of people capeing up for a German tourist they don't know, have never seen, and will never meet, is simply astounding. Plus a tribute to the summer solstice and the greatest (new) video version of Spinal Tap's "Stonehenge" I found on the interwebs.

Czabe re-caps the Knicks hammer close of the Spurs in Game 5 to claim the title. It's one of the most impressive runs an NBA team has ever made in the playoffs, full of domination, determination, and a few small miracles in between. Are the Knicks "likable?"

Czabe talks about "gettin' paid" and the humble obligations that *should* come with it. Unfortunately, as the money has gotten stupider in sports, so too have the people being showered with outrageous contracts. Czabe also reflects on what most bothered him about Wemby NOT having his obviously flagrant foul upgraded by the league on Tuesday. Then, friend of the show GIL ALEXANDER of VSiN joins to talk about the absurdity of the Brendan Sorsby ruling in court that allows him to play. How is the city of Vegas enjoying the Golden Knights ride? Will the town ever come to love the Athletics? Plus, when it comes to betting on the World Cup, pay close attention to the new rules on getting out of the group stage!
