Ep. 19 [2/8/22] - Hall of Shame

On this uniquely-titled episode of Triple Play, Dietz, Cruz and Scott discuss the 2022 Baseball Hall of Fame vote and how the Baseball Writers' Association of America manages to make the yearly vote more about them than the players being voted on. Staying on a serious note, the crew discuss Brian Flores' accusations against multiple parties to the NFL, as well as the NFL itself, and how the accusations reflect the broader scope of diversity in hiring beyond the NFL. And then, just in time for a change of pace, there's a Rusty sighting! Russ joins the gang after an excused half-show absence to join in on a conversation about the historic NASCAR Clash at the Coliseum in everyone's favorite segment, A Left Turn with Cruz. In this particular Left Turn, Cruz can barely contain his excitement as someone else on the show actually watched a race! Finally, the boys determine that it is impossible for them to once again go 0-3 on their Super Bowl predictions this year, mostly because there are four people making predictions this time around. Happy Super Bowl weekend, y'all!
