This week Simon is in the PENALTY BOX, so we replace him with Mike's nephew Eero, who considers the ethics of football, the politics of OJ Simpson's return to civilian life, and what's for dinner. Then, THE LAST BROS STANDING get into TOP PLAYS OF THE WEEK, claim squatter's rights in SIMON'S RESEARCH CORNER, and parse the Chandlers. Plus: despite the recommendations of our fans and doctors, we spend ten minutes googling the names of professional athletes who attended the University of Florida, announce some astounding news about a forthcoming secret guest (Rick Fox), Mikal clarifies some clinical terminology, Mike's mom emails a correction and regret, we revisit our favorite Justin Bieber tweet, and we offer the FINAL WORDS on why Hillary Clinton lost and sending Kraftwerk songs in text threads. And then, in the last, hallucinatory five minutes, Mikal premiers chapter one of his Rajon Rondo/DeMarcus "Boogie" Cousins fan fiction.
