What up Rod, Karen, and J Arenas? Man the discourse on KAT is going exactly like Rod said it would. I’m 43 and since I can remember there’s always been players that have been labeled “soft”. But not like this.
This shit is visceral and I can’t quite put my finger on it. Bosh is the last player that I remember being attacked like Kat is. He’s a big I get it, and his style of play isn’t as grimy as we’d like from that position. But that’s not purely the reason for the backlash he’s receiving.
Cliff Robinson, Sam Perkins had a very similar game to KAT and I don’t recall them ever receiving the hate he’s getting. Maybe all of this is due to the lack of professionalism in sports coverage nowadays. Shit wasn’t like this when we grew up.
Idk man I just think that shit is wack; from the homophobic misgendering remarks to the hyper focusing on how “soft” this cat is. Anyway great show, you guys take care.

Sorry for the length of the email.
Hi Rod, Karen, and Jill Simmons – Thanks for your thoughtful comment to my comment re: Pablo’s coverage of Belichick. I do understand, and it’s all just weird and unfortunate the current media makes it that an award-winning journalist is now most known for this. I think he did a good explanation on Bill Simmons’s show. Lastly, what I’d really like Pablo to Find Out is where the hell Max Kellerman is. Get on it.
Lastly, I heard an interesting thought on the Face of the League debate. What if, with this new apron and given the two teams in the finals – what if the superstar heavy teams are done for now. What if the Face of the League is a Team? Anyway, they don’t have a shot in hell, but go Indy!
Tony Riali – the good guy Mike Ryan (and when he was just stat boy at PTI we worked out at the same golds gym when I was in law school in DC – I should have become friends with him)
Shout out to Rod, Karen, & Jilo Janders!
While we hear a lot from Shadeur Sanders, his older brother Shilo, who the Bucs picked up as an undrafted free agent looks to be quite the steal! Not only do I think he will be a better player, but he is also working towards unit cohesion by preparing a spreadsheet with everyone’s snacks on it. I mean spreadsheets and snacks, while he may not be on the same tier of player as our MVP future hall of famer Tristan Wirfs, as a Bucs fan, this Sanders is one of the few football players that I would actually want to hangout with…
