Really enjoyed this episode. Especially the uniform talk at the end. Also, Ethan you can definitely write about the officiating in the Thunder Lakers game even though you didn’t watch it. Bill Simmons podded about it despite clearly not watching it …..
Ethan having a music analyst as a guest when he admittedly doesn’t really listen to music is not ideal, but fine. This, however, might be the thing that causes me to unsubscribe. I need bucks twitter to stay on bucks twitter.
The worst uniform calamity was the Denver Broncos moving from their classic "Orange Crush" look to the monochrome navy abominations, and then immediately winning back to back Super Bowls so they were stuck with them.
I’ve been 1000% behind the WNBA teams should just be the lady version of the NBA teams take, but this (excellent) convo brings up a challenge: what would the Chicago team be? A bull is definitionally male, so you can’t be a Lady Bull. A lady bull is a cow or heifer. Call me kooky, but I don’t see the Chicago Heifers being accepted, let alone pushing merch and such. Just a snag; still love the take. Someone much brighter than me will surely solve it
Very good point by you... Milwaukee used to have a women's 🏀 team called "The Does" I believe. A worse man than me would imply that the demo who plays women's basketball might make "Bulls" a huge success
My point is I want them wearing the same unis as the men
Great podcast, always liked Teutonia and that one other subscriber gentleman who always joined random offense episodes, get him on next he’s fantastic. Only negative on this entire episode was the mentioning of that horrible Matty, he is truly one insipid Marxist jester.
Common now. Coca-Cola made red the colour of Christmas and Barbie trademarked a shade of pink. These sports leagues are after the short term merch money grab.
How about an article on how the Indiana Fever vs Atlanta Dream rivalry has the potential to blossom into the WNBA's version of Lakers vs Celtics? Parallels are uncanny. Clark and Reese squared off in an era defining NCAA final much like Magic and Bird. And now they're each playing on stacked teams with title aspirations. It's got me so amped up that I signed up for WNBA League Pass today.
Reese is not long for the W without major changes I'm not sure can be changed. She ain't the biggest and the baddest any longer and it is obvious that was her best skill, along w superior teammates.
Great listen! I am here for the sports uniform frustration talk that you guys touched on towards the end!
A strong take I have is that the paint in the key should never match the uniform color for either team. It drives me insane how often this happens.
Color on color was a nice little once in a blue moon thing and now there are no rules at all. Home, away…doesn't matter
You should be able to switch on the app and without looking at the score bug IMMEDIATELY know who's playing
Great idea and episode!
Am I the only center-right guy that really enjoys the Matt Kleinman podcasts?
probably and i think you have to explain why you like those podcasts at this point

'21 Bucks the same thing
I do remember Nate Silver's comment at the time: "Why are the Bucks wearing purple? Everyone knows deer are green".

Totally agree about the unis, too!
Could probably go with something like "herd" or "stampede" or do like Texas and choose a species.

like the change of pace, welcome new ideas, wrong subscriber. unique or independent thinkers tend to have a higher hit rate imo
Good point

No
…not sure if joking
