#DaRundown Sports Podcast Ep. 16

Wudup doe! #DaRundown Sports is back after a lil spring break but now its back to work. There has been plenty going down since last we met. Couple weeks back I hooked up with Gee Steelio from Route4Sports.com on his show The Gee Steelio Sports Hour. This completes what the big homey Rich Eisen calls the “Home and home”.

We continue our discussion of the fight between the Hawks and Knicks for the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. I can’t lie as much as it would just be nice to say the Hawks are in the playoffs, give the star powered Knicks. Carmelo putting up 42 in a loss. JR Smith with a highlight dunk or two. Leave it to Gee, nothing related to the Knicks should succeed. Honestly, Atlanta how about a small chance at Jabari Parker? or Julius Randal?  I mean even people inside of the Hawks organization don’t really care if they make it. So why should you? Entertainment value is a must for me when watching sports. I’m hoping the Indiana Pacers win enough to get that #1 spot and see the Knicks get in to see them. Think about it. What if the Pacers drop one at home and one in MSG? They already imploding and you could have a meltdown on Broadway for all to see. By the way never a bad time to buss out some Reggie Miller and Spike Lee footage.

Those are what I call “dreamlines” story lines that are dream scenarios to talk about. Which brings me to another one that Gee and I discussed. It involves Johnny Manziel getting drafted by the Cleveland Brown. The Browns refresh the franchise by changing their nickname, logo and everything else. Manziel gets out there with Josh Gordan and starts slinging it. Greg Cossell of NFL Films stated that his discipline from the pockets was very low. Summing up his point he counted high number plays that show Johnny Manziel’ s first option at receiver was open and he tuck the ball and ran. Is that able to be coached? Who knows but for right now all I can do is hope that “Money Manziel” goes to an interesting team. I’m all about entertainment value
