I'm sure Lincoln Kennedy was just looking at his watch wondering, when's K-Rod going to get here?

I want to talk about something that happened this weekend.

I don't know why it is I would be surprised that competitive people, competition-aholics as they age would go to every length and measure, including possible cheating.

in order to get advantages i don't know if you saw that paul george made nine threes the game paul george has been pretty bad for them over the course of this season uh they need maxi and mb to do just about everything and paul george hasn't given them very much but he did have one game where he had nine threes and then they immediately tested him for it and then he got

in a league that is really, really soft on drug suspensions.

Nobody in the NBA used to get drug suspensions back when marijuana was banned and everyone knew that everyone in the league was smoking marijuana.

Kevin Durant smokes so much that he might as well smoke while he's playing.

Just run up and down the court smoking while he plays because he's not bashful about that in any way.

But nobody gets gonged in that sport because their drug testing system is so useless.

But this weekend, Dylan Brooks was making fun of Paul George about this.

He's like, talk about that on your podcast.

I don't think anybody believes any excuses.

I don't believe there is any way.

that a league, especially this league, because it suspends people so infrequently, suspends anybody and the explanation, no matter what it is.

I don't believe there is a single explanation, even if it's an honest, honest mistake.

that anyone will believe.

I think that this explanation that I'm taking mental health medicine and I didn't know what I was putting in my body is as not believable as if he said, I got suspended for 25 games because I drank shampoo, I drank bleach out of one of my mom's shampoo bottles.

But it's a great move by Paul George, because I haven't heard that one used before to garner sympathy.

Is there a way for anyone who gets suspended 25 games by that league for it to be an honest mistake?

And you would believe that it's an honest mistake.
