The ROADMAP: 3:12 - Bob Baffert / Medina Spirit — Legendary Horse Racing trainer Bob Baffert goes from winning the Kentucky Derby for a record 7th time, to getting banned from the Kentucky Derby following Medina Spirit’s post-race test results. His latest infraction, his 5th in the last year, takes him from the GOAT conversation to the Lance Armstrong conversation. We discuss the PR strategy behind his recent media tour, legal remedies to fight a race ban, and the road to contesting the Kentucky Derby results. 15:46 - MLB has approved the Oakland Athletics request to explore relocation options. This comes after the Warriors and Raiders have already left the city so the Athletics are the last pro team left. The franchise is in a public fight with the city of Oakland involving some interesting litigation regarding the plans for a new stadium. We discuss the relevant MLB rules concerning teams moving to a new location and other teams’ so-called "territories" that are off-limits for relocation. 28:05 - Deshaun Watson — Been a little too quiet on this front. Is it the calm before the storm (criminal case imminent) or are Buzbee & Hardin on the verge of orchestrating a global settlement to close out all cases? The NFL Network’s Rich Eisen is reporting that he heard a settlement was in the works. Our legal instincts are saying these reports are wrong know how hard it is to settle 20+ cases in a sensitive matter like this. We debate and pinpoint exactly where this case is in the litigation phase. 39:51 - What to Watch for — Hulu Documentary Trifecta (Nickelodeon[!!!], WeWork, & Who Let The Dogs Out) and NBA TopShot’s Makeover *** Have a question or something you want us to cover next episode?
