Really good, insightful conversation with someone who spent a lot of time around the Sixers organization.

CS 45: Low High

We discuss the greatness of Shayne Gostisbehere, why we wouldn't be opposed to trading Claude Giroux, and the anti-Villanova bias in the local media. We do a deep dive on ESPN, cord-cutting, and why it's a tough problem to solve right now.
