Who's on yours? There are many many reasons to hate these teams. What's yours? Let's embrace the hate. ...Let's Talk Ball!!!

Can't we all just get along? Short answer, no! lol. Sports won't allow for it but in the case of King James, why do so many basketball fans and talking heads love to hate LeBron? Is it envy or is it genuine disgust? We all know why some fans couldn't STAND Kobe. Mostly because he torched our teams over and over again over the span of his 20 year HOF career. Is the reasoning the same for LeBron? Let's find out. ....Let's Talk Ball!!!

Allow Big B to add his two cents into this debate. For many, this argument is over who is the greatest basketball player ever to lace up. For THIS discussion, it's solely about who was/is better between the two. MJ vs LBJ. The cold blooded killer vs the walking triple double. His Airness vs The King. Buckle up and ...Let's Talk Ball!!!

What area of life can you think of that does not have it's share of scandalous moments? Personally, I cannot. Sports are no different. The motivation may be money, ego, pleasure, greed, or simple ignorance. Nonetheless, when exposed, and without exception they are ALL eventually exposed, they are dramatic and jaw-dropping. Take a ride with Big B through a few of these trappings. Let's Talk Ball!!!

Sex and sports. Two things that I'm sure most of our listeners enjoy, but rarely do these topics live within the same conversations. More and more, though, we are hearing stories involving the gay community in sports. Does it matter what ones’ sexual preference is? If so, should it? Why is it more accepted in some sports more than others? Join us as we dig for these answers and more...Let’s Talk Ball!!!

You’d be hard-pressed to find a more polarizing topic than whether collegiate athletes should be paid. While it’s nowhere close to being a new discussion, it seems to be popping up more and more as universities continue to generate more and more money. If this were to happen, what should the pay scale look like? How do we make it fair? Is it fair? This and more on this episode of…..Let’s Talk Ball!!!

Colin Kaepernick. Malcolm Jenkins. Eric Reid. Jay-Z.  Players. Fans. Owners. Presidents. NFL. Military. America. Kneeling. The most cajun cajuns couldn't have made a spicier gumbo. For this recipe has divided families, torn apart life-long friendships, severed communities, raised blood pressures and tensions in sync. Who's at fault and who/what really matters? Can any clarity be salvaged after the core vision has been heavily filtered through narratives, expectations, name-calling, agendas, perspectives, dilution, hate, faux love-of, ego, and pride. Truth is, we are further away from that core than when San Francisco's #7 took a knee. This discussion is happening around the country, people leaning out of their front windows, where yelling is the only way to communicate. Rather than at a table, listening. Talking. So.....let's do that. LET'S TALK BALL!!!

In the world of competitive sports, usually, superior are the faster, the stronger, and the healthier. The lengths that some of these top tier athletes take to gain an edge border on insanity. The immediate risks (fines, suspension, banishment) are substantial but so are the long term risks. Risks that many an athlete are willing to take without question. What goes into the decision making process? Is there any hesitation or doubt? Do the fans care? All this and more on this week's episode of....Let's Talk Ball!!!

Professional athletes have been honing their skills long before they become professionals. Sometimes it is inexplicable that these players' ability to produce at their particular sport goes down the drain. Busts have a devastating impact on franchises and fanbases alike. How does this happen? Why does this happen. Big B has the dish. Let's Talk Ball!!!

We're not telling you anything that you don't already know by telling you that there is a TON of cash being thrown around in professional sports. But who is getting the lion's share and is that lion deserving. Is the income of a franchise pushed along by the athletes...or the owner's and their staff pulling the strings behind the curtains? Are you pro-player or pro-team....or even pro-owner?! All this and more in this week's episode of....Let's Talk Ball!!!
