Episode 8 - Talkin' Baseball with Kyle Smith

In this episode I start off by giving an NBA playoffs recap and discuss my disappointment in the Houston Rockets. I then give my take on all the complaints and drama around referees these days, and how enough is enough. The last two segments on this pod go back in time and take a look a two things: 1) All time historic clock management fails and 2) The most historic "Game 7s" from each of the major sports.  Here are the Youtube links to the four clock management fails that I discuss. You've GOT to watch! Drama at its finest.     1) JR Smith’s blunder in 2016     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP7KywgzofA 2) ATL Falcons give Tom Brady another Super Bowl        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=016LXFHpFCk 3) Chris Webber's Big Mistake      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QPB9NBUG2g 4)  Vanderbilt MBB player Michael Fisher Davis Blows it      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF3VLEV76Zo More content to come!
