12-13-2018 Passed Ball Show- John opens his first show since returning from the Baseball Winter Meetings in Las Vegas, Nevada by talking about... how Pittsburgh Steelers HC Mike Tomlin has every right to talk about his players that are "there" as opposed to answer any redundant question about Le'Veon Bell. Bell is Benedict Arnold, similar to Ice Cube in NWA. Though neither Bell nor Ice Cube intended to dessert their group/ team, both left their peers with no choice but to feel so. Similar to NWA, the Steelers are moving on, exactly what is expected to happen when a player chooses not to play for their team. The Steelers have replaced Bell, the same way NWA replaced Cube. (Has the point been made yet?) John then talks about the increase in the amount of teams that plan on being competitive, a number much higher than last off season. For those Mets fans who think the team should "just sign a catcher," would you feel the same if that was the only move they could make due to payroll restrictions? Are you okay with just Diaz and Familia? An outfield of Nimmo, Conforto, and Lagares? Even though the UCLA student knew she was not eligible for to win a car for her layup, foul shot, three pointer, and half court shot, John talks about several reasons this situation should have been avoided.
