7-6-2019 Passed Ball Show- John opens up the program by suggesting a trade the New York Mets make for a relief pitcher immediately to send the right message to the players on the team. Super Teams in the NBA are expected and not a surprise when they are formed by the choice of the players teaming up. When is the expectation of winning going to come with it? Are the teaming players going to be held accountable when they do not deliver the expected championship? John then grieves over the passing of Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs and wonders aloud whether there is a curse over the franchise that has had more in season active player deaths than any other in professional sports. Legendary Grambling State College coach Eddie Robinson gets nowhere near the amount of respect he deserves for all he did. For those that do not put him at the level of Bear Bryant and Joe Paterno, he did not have the same opportunities to coach a Division I school because he was a black coach in the south. He did more than anybody else could do with all the opportunities he had. Best of luck to the USA women in the World Cup Finals. It is silly though (in all of world soccer) that championship tournament games are decided by shoot outs, an embarrassment to decide a game with a gimmick! John hypes up the documentary about Ron Artest and summarizes the HBO special. Finally, a cheating 70 year old who won a marathon is dead, could it have been a mob hit?
