Summary

We opened with a conversation on J Batt bolting MSU after one year as athletic director, following the news that President Kevin Guskiewicz would leave, and who's to blame and what now? Then The Athletic's James Edwards joined us for conversation on covering the Knicks' NBA championship run and the Pistons' future (29:00). Plus, intern Nolan chimes in (55:00), and Norm/The Rube's U.S. Open best bets. (1:17:00).
