If the WNBA folds, they will be just fine.

What is the movie you're reviewing this week?

Only if anyone's watched it, the Alex A. Rod documentary.

I assume you did, Dan.

During COVID, there was nothing else going on.

You'd watch The Last Dance, but not Alex Vieirard, when there's way more Miami in Alex Vieirard than in The Last Dance.

Was it good?

I found it enjoyable.

I enjoyed the fact that I could speak to him about it both before and after I watched it and understand what the game is.

And the game has been...

The game has been a very calculated, planned, not surprising, a desire to rehabilitate an image, and everything has happened exactly in step.

This is a person, A-Rod, who was loathed

within baseball circles, just despised.

And think about where he's come.

He is now the face of on-air talent on a network, on Fox, on the biggest MLB partner.

He is now an owner of a team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, something that he's wanted to be an owner since the beginning of his post-playing career.

Well, yeah, they hate each other so much.

It's unreal.

And when they pretend to like each other on Fox, it always makes me laugh.

Like, does anyone believe that they're being jocular?
