Zim part 1: Major League, Denis Leary, Final Four, portal combat, JT Rock

On this very day in 1989, the best and funniest sports movie of all time — according to both of Tuesday's Happy Hour hosts — was released in theaters.   Major League took box office viewers on a rollicking ride a few days after Michigan won its first — and until Monday night, only — national championship in basketball.   Times have changed in 37 years and yet they haven't.  What do we mean by that? Well, push play and find out on the latest "Nobody's Listening Anyway" with the Happy Hour host and Sioux Falls Live sports editor Matt Zimmer from the Gateway Lounge, brochacho.   The two fortysomething hosts were just the right age to witness the R-rated fun of the fictional story about a ragtag, sad-sack group of Cleveland Indians — led by dour and dry-witted tire salesman and minor league skipper Lou Brown — who decided to "win the whole (freaking) thing."   A stroll down that memory lane was a more palatable way to start this episode than digging right into the Wolverines' first hardwood title in 37 years and what it means for the sport.   But once the host and Zim dug in, they pondered the question:   Is it really all bad? Is it really that bad?   Michigan didn't win the national championship with a Fab Five this year (Side note: we forget the actual Fab Five never won it, either). They came a couple of years after the '89 champs led by Glen Rice).    More like the Free Agent Five — a starting group made entirely of transfers that was clearly the best team all season.   You could see that as a sign of everything right or wrong (or anything in between) about how times have changed in NCAA hoops, and the hosts wander through all of that, including President Trump's executive order attempting to put guard rails on the transfer portal. Good idea? Well...   This, of course, leads to how the portal affects our local mid-major teams and local former prep studs like JT Rock, the 7-foot-1 Sioux Falls Lincoln prodigy who will be moving on to his third school in three years. This follows a sophomore season as a role player at New Mexico (6.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 12.8 minutes a game) that followed a barely-saw-the-floor freshman campaign for former SDSU coach T.J. Otzelberger at Iowa State.
