Nov. 1, 2018: The Petty Wars & Durkin's Departure

Beyond Reason with Gage Dansby

While most of the NBA has been celebrating Halloween the old fashioned way (dressed in costumes for the walk to the locker room, horror movie reference while they play, etc.) Jimmy Butler is trying to create a real life horror flick with the Minnesota Timberwolves, by intentionally placing himself on the injured reserve. Meanwhile, The University of Maryland's athletic department had a sudden change of heart and decided to fire head football coach DJ Durkin just 24 hours after they told everyone he was going to stay. You can thank one group for that: the players. Finally, I close out with some tech culture and marvel in the idea that a certain entertainment product made over $725 million in it's first 3 days on the shelves. While this might seem impressive, there is a tragedy in all of this: no one pays attention to the ones who made it.
