Passed Ball Show #624 (5/14/2022)

Passed Ball Show

5-14-2022 Passed Ball Show. John spends a significant time on this show comparing the way the Philadelphia 76ers and Memphis Grizzlies lost the sixth (6th) game of their respective conference semifinals series. John wonders why they are being perceived by the National media differently even though they both lost the same way. Both teams went through the motions in the fourth quarter when their opponent took the lead and a case could be made that both teams gave up over the last five minutes of the deciding games. Yet, Philadelphia is looked at as a failure and Memphis is looked at as the future of the NBA. John knocks some holes into this real narrative. John then applauds the New Orleans Saints signing of Jarvis Landry and talks about the potential Wide Receiver core of Landry, Chris Olave, and Michael Thomas and how that may raise the game of Jameis Winston. However, this could also expose the former Florida State star is they cannot develop the appropriate chemistry. John goes off on the fact that the NFL schedule reveal is a waste of time and questions why it is such a big deal even though mostly everyone knows which teams are playing whom. Finally, a little more love and respect for Robinson Cano as John hopes for his success during his future with the San Diego Padres.
