Live from the Kill House

The BallKnowers have reconvened to discuss last weekend's NFL draft and other offseason news and notes from around the league. We start with some initial draft thoughts, a look at coaching hires, some guesses at the first coach to be fired in the 2024 season and a review of free agency thus far.

The back half of the pod is a more thorough breakdown of the draft - our favorite and least favorite picks, and a look at who each of our favorite teams drafted.

The No Laying Up collective chops it up with a wide variety of guests from all corners of the golf world, and more importantly, guests from the golf-adjacent world.

Neil, Randy and KVV are back with another Perfect Club edition of the Trap Draw as we look back at the landmark sports documentary "Hoop Dreams". The film - released 30 years ago - profiles Arthur Agee and William Gates and their journey through Chicago high school basketball.

After some self-examination of our own relationships with basketball, we look at the undertaking of the filmmakers and how the project evolved from a planned 30-minute PBS special to the final cut of nearly three hours, why the film resonates three decades after its release, how the culture around high school and college basketball has changed, our favorite scenes from the film and our reflections on the film's impact on the sports documentary genre.

The NFL Owners Series returns to the TrapDraw for this week's episode. It's our sixth installment as we profile two owners whose teams finished the season at completely opposite ends of the regular season standings.

First up, David Tepper of the Carolina Panthers. We look at Tepper's legendary financial career, his time as a minority owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and his tumultuous six years as owner in Charlotte. We also take a look back at the history of the franchise and its original owner, Jerry Richardson.

Then it's up the east coast to Baltimore and Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti. A self-made billionaire, like Tepper, Bisciotti has deep ties in the Baltimore area and, unlike Tepper, has enjoyed a mostly successful tenure as owner.
