S2 E8 – Urban Meyer Fired (Although We Didn’t Know Yet), Steph Curry Breaks the 3-Point Record, and COVID Is Wildin
We start with the news that Urban Meyer has been fired as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, then show you the discussion that we had before we heard the news, especially with the new allegations from ex-Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo (3:39). Then we talk about the Warriors’ Steph Curry breaking the all-time record for 3-pointers made, what it means, and whether it will be broken or not (23:09). We talk a little bit about slighted NBA players/teams (33:25) before getting into how COVID-19 is running rampant through the NFL and NBA and what they should and/or can do about it (39:38). We finish by bringing back our “Throw a Flag” segment, including Mississippi State head football coach Mike Leach’s hypocritical comments about players skipping bowl games and ending with applauding the Denver Broncos for honoring their former star wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (51:05). R.I.P. DT, Bay Bay, #88.
The entire “Throw a Flag” segment and other highlights will be released on our YouTube channel Flags and Fouls Highlights.
