The 8th Seed (Episode 6)

DOWNLOAD US! WE'RE AWESOME!

A few months ago, us NBA bloggers did a podcast to talk about Blogs With Balls. I mentioned that it wasn't going to be a one-shot deal. We were then known as the Flagrant 5.

Well, the roster expanded. The sausage... fest grew and we are now up to EIGHT DUDES. Our name was then changed to the 8th Seed.

I actually hosted this month's episode. Adam Best and Zach Harper couldn't make the show (but Zach and I talked last Thursday about the same stuff, anyway). But the show must go on. Here's what we talked about...

BREAK IT DOWN
A. NBA News. We talk about New Orleans firing Byron Scott, the Golden State/Charlotte trade, Allen Iverson, and Brandon Jennings. The Brandon Jennings topic turned into a rant about young high schoolers bypassing college and going to Europe to play ball.
B. Free-For-All. We talk about the Atlanta Hawks' potential of becoming an Eastern power, LeBron James changing numbers, best dunk of the year so far, and Nate Robinson, uh, having fun.
C. 8th Seed Go-Round. We talk to each of the guys about how their teams are doing.
D. We try to piece together Jeff Garcia's Friday night (wanna help decipher?). It really degenerates in the last 10-15 minutes of this podcast.
E. Of course, there's an outtake in this podcast! You're at TNLP, kid!

By the way, Jeff, thanks for the intro idea.

TEASERS
JOHN: "It's like somebody with an 85 IQ trying to sound smart... NO! You gotta know what you're saying, dude!"

JARED: "I'm probably one of the few... only... Allen Iverson fans in this phone call..."

GLENN: "(Stephen Jackson)'s more of a cancer than anything. Personally, I would love to have Allen Iverson more than Stephen Jackson."

JEFF: "Gone! Gone! That was my catch-phrase from that night. GONE!"

MIKE: "Obviously, you didn't pay him enough, Jeff."
JOHN: "We can start reading his drunk tweets from that night."
JARED: "I was gonna try... but I think he was writing them in Cantonese."

Here's the 8-man rotation and the sites represented!
Glenn Moore (Dugout Sports Show)
Adam Best (FanSided)
Jeff Garcia and Michael De Leon (Project Spurs)
Jared Wade (Both Teams Played Hard and Eight Points, Nine Seconds)
John Karalis (Red's Army)
Zach Harper (Cowbell Kingdom and TalkHoops)

Listen to us. You'll love it.

On a side note, there is NO Chronicles of Crotty podcast this week. We'll be back next Friday, December 4th!
