Discussion on Meyers Leonard & his comments that got him dismissed from the Miami Heat indefinitely. Meyers had no idea what he was saying but it doesn't excuse him for saying it. Meyers has to educate himself going forward. He drop the ball on this one.
Meghan McPeak, PxP Broadcaster
Looking forward to being a part of an all female broadcast crew on March 24th when the Raptors take on the Nuggets. Calling the Mystics during their championship run, calling Della Donne's 54/90 run and calling this Raptors game as a native Canadian are definitely top three achievements of her career. Hasn't called a game since September, so Meghan is chomping at the bit to get behind the mic. Kept sharp by calling games at home watching TV. Canadian basketball is what you see from guys like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Andrew Wiggins and Jamal Murray. When she was growing up Rick Fox, Stacy Dales and Steve Nash were some of the players Canadians looked up to. Feels Ontario produces the best basketball players in the country. Explains how TSN came about putting the broadcast team together. She is very grateful for the opportunity. Pays homage to the women who came before her, whether its PxP, analyst or sideline reporting. Her mindset is to go after it and do the best she can to prove her supporters are correct.
Rod Woodson, Hall of Famer, Super Bowl Champion Defensive Back
Rod is raising money for his Hope Through Football Foundation. Rod wanted to give back to the sports that has given him so much. Hope Through Football teaches kids (boys & girls) how to do things the right way in life, through football. One of the things the foundation does is teach kids and parents about mental health. There is so much misinformation out there. Sports teaches so much about life. Rod explains the breakout session he has with his kids. Football has to be taught the right way at the grassroots level. Loves to see kids succeed. He shares the story of a kid who came in shy, lacking confidence a little bit and is now a successful college grad flourishing in his community. Rod talks about growing up in a bi-racial family in Indiana during the 60s which wasn't easy. The protests last year gave Rod joy because it was all races, genders etc coming together to fight racism.
