By Jason McIntyre
Hailey Baldwin, popular with NBA players and on IG … police caught the 28-year old who shot and killed an 18-year old in a road rage incident … “How Bad Is the Crisis in Illinois? It Has $14.6 Billion in Unpaid Bills” … I can’t believe the New Yorker wrote about Spencer Pratt, who for some reason is a snapchat “star” … “Florida man sits on gun, shoots self in groin” … if Justin Bieber keeps getting tattoos, he’s going to be unrecognizable … “Man facing death penalty wears Tony Romo jersey at Las Vegas courthouse” … Chris Christie is the absolute worst …
My first NBA free agency show on the 1st day of the madness, listen to it all, what a show. Colin Cowherd called in, Chris Broussard talked about the Paul George madness, and Anthony Slater talked about the Warriors situation with Andre Iguodala.[Full 3-Hour Show; Best of 35-Minute Podcast]
