Giannis Antetokounmpo's quest for GOATness is underway... and we're all lucky to be witnessing one of the greatest players of our generation. How can you not love Giannis? He stayed in Milwaukee, he worked on his free throws, and he dropped 50 in game 6 after hyperextending his knee. Lastly, part 4 of my quest to see an Ohtani home run in person. And do all Asians root for Ohtani? Should I start a Filipinos for Ohtani fan group?

I apologize in advance if I said something wrong/offensive in this episode, particularly about the Georgia shootings.

I've been doing this podcast for a month and I'm still learning.

The #1 defense matched up with the #1 offense in the league, and the results were baffling. In the end, my Rams came up short, leaving many questions behind. Is Jared Goff a liar? Is Brandon Staley a fraud? Why aren't we the #1 seed??? Just another season as a Rams fan... sigh.

James Harden went to the Nets to form a super team with his friends Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Is the league screwed? Is this one of the best teams ever? Am I trippin???

It's playoff time for the Rams. The football gods have blessed us with a rematch against the Seahawks, who stole the NFC West title from our hands! This wasn't just a battle to see who will advance to the next round in a meaningless tournament... it was a battle for pride and RESPECT!! Will John Wolford be the hero to lead the Rams to victory in Seattle? Or will it be the thumbless Jared Goff? Will DK Metcalf escape from Jalen Ramsey's clamp island? Is Jamal Adams a LIAR?! Who is the REAL best defense in the NFL?
