The pro boycott, changing contracts & bad blood
09/15/23 • 84 min
1 Listener
Zane and Thomas wade through the Tour Wars fallout on a new episode of PicklePod. MLP Atlanta is a go, but there is still plenty of bad blood among owners, players, and staff. Speaking of bad blood, the McGuffin vs. Loong feud rages from the court to podcasts and to Twitter. There is speculation on holdouts, renegotiations, and how this new organization can function moving forward.
Zane and Thomas cover Zane’s injury and recap their head-to-head results from last week.

Lawyers(?) advised these players to sit out
Zane and Thomas caught wind of three players who won’t be in the mix for MLP Atlanta. Some of them might sit at home in bubble wrap until the ball drops on New Year's to protect their new contracts. The guys preview the highly anticipated event and share their predictions for who will hoist the cup.
Thomas recaps the first-ever Bounce Nashville Tournament sponsored by the Tenessee Titans and issues a correction towards USA Pickleball.
