MLB Should Force The Boston Red Sox To Sell The Team!!!! (DTS Podcast – #92)

February 13, 2020 ~ Dave Ettinger ~ Leave a comment

Everyone is busy focusing in on the Astros’ cheating scandal, while they SHOULD be busy YELLING at the Red Sox.

John Henry, owner of the Red Sox, is a literal billionaire.

Yet, he was too cheap to sign Mookie Betts to a new contract and pay the luxury tax.

Instead….he traded the top-5 player for pennies on the dollar.

This SHOULDN’T be allowed!!!!

“The XFL Sucks!!!!” (DTS Podcast – #90)

February 10, 2020 ~ Dave Ettinger ~ Leave a comment

You know those marriages people are placing bets on how long they will last??

Yeah….That’s the XFL.

Crappy play. Gimmicky. Flavor of the month. Well-funded (for now).

THE ONLY WAY THE XFL BECOMES SUSTAINABLE IS THE NFL ADOPTING IT AS IT’S MINOR LEAGUE FOOTBALL SYSTEM.

So stop pretending it’s awesome, and open your unintelligent eyeballs.

Have an awesome Monday ya fools.

Andy Reid, FINALLY, Got His….CHEESEBURGER!!!! (DTS Podcast – #89)

February 3, 2020 ~ Dave Ettinger ~ Leave a comment

The Kansas City Chiefs are your Super Bowl LIV Champions!!

Patrick Mahomes is the best football player in the world (Damien Williams should have been the MVP).

Andy Reid is really, really FAT!

The commercials were good.

The Halftime Show was, as my kids called it, “Caliente”.

That is all.

“How Do We Honor KOBE????” (DTS Podcast – #88)

January 28, 2020 ~ Dave Ettinger ~ Leave a comment

The Kobe Bryant conversation, from the NBA’s perspective, has turned to finding the most appropriate way to honor him.

This is a complex question, with seemingly endless possibilities.

My advice is WAIT, THINK this over, and do something in the short-term and long-term.

“RIP KOBE” (DTS Podcast – #87)

January 27, 2020 ~ Dave Ettinger ~ 1 Comment

Father. Husband. NBA Legend. #24. #8.

RIP Kobe. RIP Gianna. RIP to the other 7 passengers on the helicopter.

Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers Legend, passed away in a tragic helicopter crash Sunday morning in California. The outpouring of support and emotion from the NBA community, the Los Angeles community, and the global community has been astonishing.

While Kobe’s life was cut short on earth, his legacy will live on forever.

RIP TheBlackMamba.
