I didn't listen to Episode 6. Was the opening tongue-in-cheek?

Those Warriors 53 and 54 could be great picks if Luka, Duval, AD, etc don't resign.

Only 1 team in the league is 17-1 over the last 18 And it's none of the "contenders" you mentioned  |

As someone who grew up in SC and interacted with him several times, Radio is a dickhead.

James Robert "Radio" Kennedy, an 18-year-old man with mental disabilities, pushes a shopping cart along the streets daily. He is attracted to a high school football team and often passes by their practices. One day, a football flies outside the field and lands near Radio. Radio takes the ball, deaf to the demands to return it by a student athlete on the other side of the fence. Sometime later, the team members tie up Radio and lock him inside the gear shed. The team's coach, Harold Jones, hears the team members throw balls at the shed and goes to comfort Radio. He punishes the team for their actions. Upon meeting Radio on the streets another day, Coach Jones asks Radio to visit and help at training. Coach Jones returns Radio to his home, where he meets Radio's mother. It is revealed that Radio has a brother named Walter, who does not live with them, and that their father died a few years prior.
Coach Jones begins spending more and more time with Radio, which concerns the fathers of many of the team members. One of the fathers in particular, Frank Clay, suggests that the coach should stop associating with Radio as he could be a distraction to his own son's success on the team. Coach Jones resists, and he later reveals to his daughter that this resistance was partially due to a childhood incident in which Jones did not do anything to help a mentally disabled boy who was locked under a house.
While distributing Christmas presents to nearly everyone in the town, Radio is questioned by a police officer as to where he got the presents. The officer, seeing that Radio is unable to communicate properly and unaware of his mentally disabled state, places him under arrest on charges of possession of stolen property and takes him down to the police station. In fact, the presents had been given to Radio by the townspeople. After the officer roughly locks up Radio in a jail cell, he looks for his information. The other officers, taking pity on Radio after seeing him cry, take him into the staff-room to watch a basketball game together. Coach Jones soon arrives, releasing Radio. The offending officer is punished by having to spend the day with Radio to deliver the rest of the presents.
Radio eventually takes classes in the high school, and it is apparent that he never completed a formal education. After struggling, Radio eventually learns to read. Though well-liked by most of the students at school, Radio is still ridiculed by Frank's son Johnny and his friends. On one occasion, Johnny tricks Radio into entering the girls locker room. This triggers an incident with the School Board that puts Radio's ability to attend the high school at risk. However, Radio refuses to tell Coach Jones who told him to do it, leading Jones to say, "You're a better man than me, Radio." Coach Jones eventually figures out that it was Johnny who told Radio to go into the girls locker room, and punishes Johnny for his actions by ordering him to sit out from the basketball team for an indefinite time. After Coach Jones tells Johnny that Radio never uttered a word about who caused the incident, Johnny begins to respect Radio and doubt his father's impressions. Radio's mother dies of a heart attack bringing severe agony to Radio.
After the football team's season ends, Frank places the blame for the team's inability to win on Radio being a distraction, and demands for Jones to end his association with him. In a meeting with the townspeople, Jones talks about how Radio has really been a blessing for the community, showing how people should treat one another. He then shocks everyone by announcing that he's going to resign as head coach so he can spend more time with his family. This causes many of the townspeople to turn on Frank, while Jones leaves with his family.
The film ends with Radio receiving a high school diploma at the graduation ceremonies, and the principal announcing that he will receive one every year to make him feel like part of the school. Johnny also gives Radio a letterman jacket. It then shows clips of the real life Radio on the football field with the real life Harold Jones.

Good pod guys. Enjoyed listening to it on my way home. I would say the Pelicans would be in the 4 contenders in the West. The only downside is our seed. I haven't fielded a healthy team the entire year and when they play together my team is a beast. Maybe I steal 1 or 2 from ank, but if I was the 7th seed we'd probably be seeing an upset. MKG does miss the first 2 games though :/ Also, if you're concerned about killing autistic people in Fuck-Marry-Kill Radio isn't the only guy in that list you gotta worry about. |

Confession: this is the first time I've listened. However, I am the one who has missed out. Phenomenal job guys.
Thanks Heebs for backing me up. "Only in Dreams" is amazing and has it all.
Look forward to listening more in the future.

Glad to have someone else jump on board! |

According to the summary, looks like he was deaf and maybe there was some other stuff going on too. TBH, I think you've got just another couple of years until you're the elite team if Mapp and Weaver progress as expected. That's assuming you resign Lebron, of course. |

The part that the movie doesn't show you is when he becomes a diva after he's a "movie star" and he's an unbearable prick to everyone around him.

 So help me god, for every time FectaDEEZ makes any sort of mention on the integrity of the league, I will tank with the intention of going 0-82 then sell my lotto pick to the highest bidder that isn't Fecta or Tim. @timpig you're guilty by association!
