Today will be NBA heavy and race heavy. Will probably get a series preview, and then Goff will break down what Lebron is feeling now that he has had his house spray painted in a hate crime. Possibly some crying as well.

CH, can we get a Bernstein opening monologue? Something about how, now, with the recent events at LeBron's mansion in LA, this Finals series is going to act as a great commentary on society in the United States? Maybe referencing great plays, maybe a Neil Labute reference? Trying to think how Dan would mythologize a set of basketball games that haven't been played yet.

graffiti talk started in transition. Bernstein said the same thing happened in his neighborhood when he moved in and someone spray painted a symbol. The ego on this guy...

How likely is it that either Dan was the first Jewish person or that Jewish people are a rarity in his upper-class, Northshore neighborhood?

LeBron's comments yesterday were absolutely pathetic. He compared himself to Emmitt Till, because someone supposedly spray-painted a fence on his $20 million Brentwood mansion with a naughty word. Emmitt Till's mother had an open casket so people could see the effects of racial violence. He just had the help spray paint over a fence.

This future billionaire complaining about his treatment... it's like hearing Wall Street bankers compare themselves to Holocaust victims.

One of the best episodes in the series.

Did Dan ever see a wooden school desk that was more than 10 years old when he was growing up?

The thing I see people carefully neglecting to mention is that the "house" (and it's always called a "house", not the more-apt "mansion") was empty at the time, because it is LeBron's vacation mansion. The guy has a getaway mansion, and he's concern trolling to white people about how hard his life is.

And let's not forget the times this kind of stuff turns out to be a troll-job instead of racial hatred.

I was hoping to hear a story about how when a gentile family moved to Deerfield, someone who was in no way Dan Bernstein spray-painted their house with "I just don't know if, given the sheer surfeit of suburbs and the institutionalized luxury of buying real estate without restrictions, this is a decision to which you necessarily had to commit, though while you are not unwelcome it also wouldn't be inaccurate to clarify th -- to b. cont. when you build addition"

there's been a lot of Schwarber talk so far...they're both really trying to parse this whole thing.

If "Babe Ruth" fails, then the execs that Dan has burnished (in some ways rightly so) take a massive hit in their perceived ability to recognize and identify talent...they're all in on him. You can hear Dan's head trying to make a narrative to excuse them ultimately.

This finals better be good (at least all the FS1 guys are "on message" hyping it as QUITE POSSIBLY THE GREATEST FINALS OF ALL TIME) --- cuz holy shit this warriors/cavs 3: 3D thing has been a fait accompli since Durant signed with the warriors so I mean... have at it!

Feinstein had a CBS Sports Minute today, ripping how awful it is for a person to think he's superior because he's white. How do they know the person who did it was white? Does the story disappear if surveillance shows a minority doing it as a joke? Or if someone Hispanic or Asian did it out of hate? It's terrible that someone did it, but Just something I was pondering.

Jim Rome's CBS Sports Radio minute was on tiger woods, and he said "SEX RUINED HIS MARRIAGE...."

yeah well, call me [whatever] but I still think tiger was/is gay and the whole "insatiable nymphomaniac" thing was put out there to shut up people like me [once and for all? =]

Agreed but I don't want to hear Bernstein and Goff getting giddy about whatever he said about Lebron James' "astonishing grace."

Is it just me or is Bernstein's condescending veiled racism worse than just owning your hate and spraying the N word on Lebrons vacation home?

I mean both are terrible, but I just hate how Bernstein could have been cast in Get Out and just played himself.

I cannot wait to hear about the time Dan's son, on spec, wrote and sent off a thoughtful op-ed piece for the LA Times pleading with the perpetrator of this heinous, troubling act to come forward, and telling LeBron he need not show mercy when this person comes to light.

I'm sure you will let us know how it went. You've really been at the edge of your seat filing this section with show threads the past few weeks.

Dan just started to talk about Quintana's xFIP, and it became clear he has no understanding of what xFIP is without Joe Sheehan to write it for him.
