164: Niners' Deebo Dilemma, Rams' winning culture, NBA playoffs early recap, Rockies & Mets successes early

In this week's podcast: John discusses why star wide receiver Deebo Samuel publicly asking for a trade is a lose-lose situation for the San Francisco 49ers, why Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp showing up for L.A. Rams' voluntary team workouts says everything about the culture general manager Les Snead and head coach Sean McVay have put together since arriving in L.A. and what it means for the Rams as they look to repeat as Super Bowl champions, and why the Giants shouldn't panic about the idea of drafting Kayvon Thibodeaux with one of their two first round picks. Plus, John says that although the Philadephia 76ers have a commanding 3-0 series lead vs. the Toronto Raptors, a needed development for the teams' championship hopes hasn't come to frution yet as they appear headed for a matchup with the Miami Heat in the 2nd round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Then, he discusses the injuries to Kris Middleton, Devin Booker, and Luka Doncic and how they've impacted the first round so far. Finally, John discusses why the Rockies have surprised everybody so far and the Mets' feel in comparison from previous years, and the legacy of Miguel Cabrera as he closes on his 3,000th hit.
