Thursday - NBA Trade Deadline Day (3pm Eastern)

local hour: Heat talk.  The Heat are wooing Mike Ryan with fan events to convince him to re-up his (shared) season tickets.  Quincy Jones is dishin' dirt on people who are taking dirt naps.  Phoner: David Samson raced across the world, and he doesn't like Miami's mayor.  

Hour 1: What If?: NBA Trade Talk, while Dan wants to talk about the broken friendship of Charlie Sheen and Lenny Dykstra. Gronk wants to be an action star.  Audio: Dan's limited acting on "Ballers."

Hour 2: Phoner: Bob Kravitz, Indianapolis sports columnist, talks Colts coaches.  The Bulls traded Jameer Nelson to the Pistons for "Showtime" Willie Reed. Stu is concerned for Adam Schefter's health and Dan is concerned for Adam Schefter's personal life.  Audio: Nick Foles called the Philly Special play where he caught the touchdown pass in SB 52.   Woj Bomb: the Pistons and the Pelicans are considering a trade.  Stu says Kevin Durant joined the Warriors because of Silicon Valley.  Billy makes a glitter gun out of a hair dryer, a paper cup, and  tape. 

Hour 3: Phoner: Adam Schefter talks trades.  Guillermo fires the glitter gun because the Cavs traded Channing Frye and Isaiah Thomas and the Cav's 2018 1st Round pick to the Lakers for Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr.  The Heat traded Okaro White to the Hawks for Luke Babbitt.  Brian Windhorst reports that Cavs CEO Dan Gilbert will not allow their Nets' 2018 1st Round draft pick.  Guillermo gives Mike Ryan a glitter shower because the Pistons traded Bryce Johnson and a 2nd Round pick to Memphis for James Ennis.  Phoner: Chris Simms' QB #29: Josh McCown.  With this Cavs roster, why would LeBron stay in Cleveland?  Audio: an Australian parliament member wants Ben Simmons to be an All-Star and not Slovenia's Goran Dragich.  98% of the audience thinks  Isaiah Thomas trying to celebrate with LeBron looks like an 8 year old trying to celebrate with LeBron.  New Laker Isaiah Thomas just lost his video tribute from the Celtics [and Paul Pierce couldn't be happier].


[Predicted: Guillermo goes nuts because Jeter says he has a plan to fix the Marlins. Is Jeter lying?   Cavs win. Is LeBron toying with us?  What could the NBA do to prevent more injuries?  Signing Day is a travesty. "Mom wearing Tide and Vols gear storms off after WR commits to Florida."]

Wednesdays with Pablo Torres

local hour: Pablo is late, so Mike Ryan calls him. Pablo yammers and promises to arrive within 40 minutes. Stu: "Bill Polian.  Please."  Tilde talk.  Heat talk.  Stu's wife Abby is called, and asked if Stu notices when she changes her appearance and wears new clothes.  

Hour 1: Roger Goodell is disrespected like no other commissioner.  George Lopez isn't funny.  Phil Jackson is powerless against Carmelo Anthony.  

Hour 2: Retirement talk around Tom Brady.  Audio: at the Patriot's Super Bowl victory parade, Gronk chugs beer -- for the fans.  Netflix paid $90 million for a movie about a cop Will Smith and orcs.   Guillermo's Sound of the Day: at the parade, Bill Belichick tries to start the worst chant in history: "NO DAYS OFF."

Hour 3: Michael Jordan bullies other team CEOs.  Even rich people deserve emotional sympathy.  Audio: George Lopez throws out a heckler and is unfunny.

Monday after Super Bowl 50

local hour: In his Post-SB interview, Aqib Talib said to his wife, "You're looking gorgeous, baby. We're gonna get it in tonight."  Stu doesn't watch Heat games.  Dan doesn't care how players treat the media.  Cam Newton didn't dive for the ball because he's trained to not injure himself.  Dan doesn't like excessive sportsmanship, and says coaches should cut any kid who tells the ref, "it went off me."

Hour 1: Cam Newton has always been a bad sport.  Von Miller didn't thrust after sacking.  Peyton Manning was once fined $200 for taunting and called it money well spent.  Dan gets on his soap box and charges Rob Lowe with the moral crimes of Robert Downey Jr.   Peyton Manning kissed his sycophant Papa John on the field after the Super Bowl -- without hugging him.  Papa wanted more, according to Stu. Wade Phillips Looks Like. 

Hour 2: Stugotz's Weekend Observations: Put the Super Bowl on Saturday.  Peyton Manning Wins Despite His Performance, but history will only remember 2 rings.  Audio: Kenneth Garay makes good on his promise to The Show to use Conor McGregor's phrase "break out the red panties" during the Super Bowl broadcast on ESPN Deportes.  Papi wanted Brock Subwiter to replace Peyton.   Eli Manning wasn't in a celebratory mood last night in the champ's skybox.  Stu, Mike Ryan, Chris Cote, and Roy Bellamy send out texts to their Significant Others: "We're gonna get it in tonight."

Hour 3: Cross "Imperfect Measuring System" and "The Randomness of One-Game Samples" off your Bing-O card.   The Significant Others respond to the texts.   Derek Fisher is no longer coach of the Knicks, a job Steve Kerr had wanted.  Cam doesn't hide his feelings.  "It's annoying the way the media gets outraged about how you treat us, as if we're that important. Nobody complains about how the media is treated more than the media."  More saloon characters.
