SMSE_2-13-2021

Oakland Basketball - Slow improvement/Jalen Moore/.500 for conference Sports Social Issues - 1.) Jared Porter and epidemic of men in baseball (and probably more sports) treatment of women (we can discuss if this is even a topic worth discussing outside of what MLB and the other leagues SHOULD be doing 2.) Hiring or lack there of Black Head Coaches and Front Office in NFL. Hank Aaron passes away - Legend (still seems like an understatement) Side note - Vin Scully's call of Hank's famous HR as poignant today and as it was that night Red WIngs getting started - Much much faster in last game vs opening night/Bobby Ryan (Yzerman move)/Goal Tending Pistons - Boy do Blake and Derrick look old out there/Killian Hayes injury not good at all on a few levels NFL - Lions - GM and HC - Championship games
