Earnestly Speaking LIVE: 5/8/15

Hosted by Earnest 'EJ' Christian and Gee Steelio Guest Co-Host: Rosalyn Ross HOUR #1 *The crew opens the show talking about how EJ and Gee met in person for the first time in New York last week. EJ believes Gee is even more insane in person than he is on air. The guys also react to the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight from last weekend. *THE HOT FIVE: Ed Reed, Bill Simmons, Marcus Mariota, Kevin Love, Madden â??16 Cover *We love our weekly segment with Lang Greene aka. 'The Jersey Hershey' of Basketball Insiders. We discusses his thoughts on the NBA playoffs, and predicts whether Kevin Love will leave Cleveland this summer. *The crew goes into more discussion on Bill Simmons and ESPN parting ways and all agree that Simmons will be best off starting fresh and start his own company. They all agree he outgrew ESPN a long time ago. The guys also create a new segment off the cuff called "Reading Antwan Staley's Tweets" in tribute to show contributor, friend and journalist Antwan Staley. HOUR #2 *We decided to wrap up all the ridiculous draft talk of the year by bringing in our old friend Justin Higdon of DraftBreakdown.com to give his thoughts on the highlights. EJ tries to change direction in the interview by asking NBA related questions to Justin to which he adjusted quite nicely. *EJ, Gee and Rosalyn give their take on the conclusion of the Wells Report and whether Tom Brady should be suspended for his role in it. EJ and Gee agree that the Tom Brady piling on is ludicrous while Rosalyn says this issue should be taken much more serious. *Jason Clinkscales of The Sport Fan Journal and jasonclinkscales.com joined the show for the first time in over 2 years to give a take on the situation in Baltimore, why heâ??s rooting for Alex Rodriguez, and reacts to Bill Simmons and ESPN parting ways. Plus the crew go into the weekend with their shoutouts.
