Welcome to Episode #114! This is part two of our excellent conversation with journalist David Quiñones.

David opines on what he feels are under-appreciated guests on the BS Pod; he likes Bill with Sean Fennessey and Mallory Rubin. We then discuss how it's odd people don't mention The Ringer and Barstool in the same breath when they have overlapping audiences. We weigh the pros and cons of Russillo staying at The Ringer or leaving for Barstool - David argues that Russillo needs The Ringer more than The Ringer needs him, and identifies the drawbacks of Russillo moving to Barstool.

We do a little MJ vs. LeBron debate before assessing who was patient zero for the current NBA rings culture - it wasn't LeBron or MJ, it was Wilt Chamberlain. And, Jordan was also a victim of rings culture until he won. We hit on how rings culture is very unfair to NBA players that are fun to watch and are highly skilled but "can never be the best guy on a winning team" according to Bill.

David highlights his biggest gripe with Bill - his constant demand for the NBA to play less games - despite the league being more successful than ever.

We finish up talking the incredible proliferation in gambling since David joined the sports media game in the mid-2000s . How much is gambling impacting ratings? How has gambling lexicon changed from being looked down upon to being accepted and now pushed. Is it sustainable? And what is Bill's role?

Hope you enjoyed the two-part, nearly 3 hours of conversation with David - rate the show 5-stars and mention this episode, and we’ll read it next show.
