How are you feeling? What questions come to your mind? Where does your mind go? Are you seeking safety? Would this have been an adrenaline rush as you raced to send the resignation response? What an "enhanced standard" regarding loyalty and trustworthiness was? What are these new "enhanced standards?" Are they beyond what my Constitutional oath requires? If I don't resign, how bright will the target on my back glow? My leadership has supported all my work, but would termination direction come from higher up the chain of command? What would you recommend if we talked over coffee? What questions would you ask? How would you use listening? How would you use silence? How is this scenario playing out in your mind and body? What is coming to the surface for you? How might that influence what you are about to say to me? What are the chances of my name popping on a list and getting fired? How about the chances of being part of an official Reduction in Force and early retirement? Would the administration make a better offer? What do I know about the pending job market?

What is the correct length of the pregnant pause before making an important announcement? What processes would you use in my circumstance, and what would be different? What questions are at the top of your list to get to a decision? Who would be the members of your pantheon you would counsel with to gain clarity?

6 years ago13:43

13:43

A quick recap on the history of the rivalry between NBA point guards Damien Lillard and Russell Westbrook that began way back in 2016. Since then the trash talk has been off the rails and culminated into one of the greatest rivalries in the modern NBA, and the playoff series between the Trail Blazers and Thunder took that rivalry to a whole new level. Gage breaks down every antic Russ and Dame had in the series, and how Lillard got the ultimate last laugh by sinking one of the greatest buzzer beaters in NBA playoff history.…

22:11

The Final Four is finally hear, but it wasn't exactly the smoothest road to get here. Sports media has been drooling over Zion Williamson the moment he announced his commitment to Duke basketball last year. Since then, you couldn't escape the name Zion even if you tried. Sports media was talking about him at every waking moment and salivating over his talent. But now that Duke isn't in the Final Four, what do they do? Simple, lower their recognition and respect to the team that beat them: Michigan State. From digging up old controversies to flat out ignoring the team, sports media let MSU know that Duke was their favorite, and still talking about how great Zion is in the process. Has this gone too far?…

In the midst of March Madness, several prominent NFL players and one particular UFC fighter announce their retirements. Gage breaks down the careers of these athletes and their impact on the sport to give them a proper send off.

Spoiler Alert: the athletes are Rob Gronkowski, Jordy Nelson, TJ Lang and Connor McGregor. Guess which retirements people are skeptical about...…

6 years ago30:09

This week tackles how New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft might have celebrated his team's Super Bowl victory a little too much, since he was just charged with solicitation of a prostitute in Juniper, Florida. Additionally, Gage talks about the Manny Machado contract with the San Diego Padres that is now the second biggest player contract in professional sports history (and how Machado could be the saving grace for a city that continues to lose it's sporting footprint).

55:52

This episode is all over the place, beginning with UFC suspending Conor McGregor for 6 months and Khabib Nurmagomedov for 9 months after their fight that ended in epic proportions. And according to Sergei, 9 months doesn't seem bad in the grand scale of things. Next, betting odds for the Super Bowl are discussed which inevitably leads to the best commercials and memes the Super Bowl had to offer in previous years. Finally, I breakdown the blockbuster trade between the New York Knicks and the Dallas Mavericks that, because of the way it went down, doesn't seem like it was just because of the Kristaps Porzingis meeting...

A lot of hostilities seem to be going on the world of sports these days. From a Division III basketball player punching his opponent in the face in the middle of a game, to Kevin Durant and Draymond Green arguing over a final possesion, or Pittsburgh Steelers players rummaging through LeVeon Bell's locker now that he's kicked to the curb, it seems to be a gloomy day indeed.
