Shelly Sells Clippers, But Will Donald Sterling Fight? Could Steve Ballmer Take Team To Seattle?

May 31, 2014 by Leave a Comment

On this episode of The Unhappy Hour, host Brian Engelman discusses:

– Josh Gordon was recently arrested for a speeding violation, which is not a big deal, but his passenger was arrested for possession of weed. Not good news.

– The SEC wants to have some more leverage on the benefits they can provide their players, or they are threatening to leave Division 1 so that they could start a Division 4 & make their own rules.

– Brian still doesn’t feel as though sports teams should be owned by a person or two. The Green Bay Packers are owned by their shareholders who are the residents of Green Bay. Why should a person be able to ruin sports for the fans? Art Modell stole the Browns from their fans in Cleveland, & now some people are wondering if the Clippers could end up in Seattle.

– Will the Clippers sail run smoothly, or will Donald Sterling follow through with his 1 billion dollar lawsuit against the NBA?

May 20, 2014 by Leave a Comment

“The Unhappy Hour” host Brian Engelman once again welcomes Zak Baris to talk about the Cleveland Cavaliers who just won the NBA draft lottery for the second time in 2 years, & the third time in 4 years.

Will this be enough to get the Cavs back into the playoffs?
Will the Cavs make a trade with the Timberwolves to acquire Kevin Love?
Will the Cavs pick Joel Embiid, Jabari Parker, or Andrew Wiggins?
Will the new pick encourage Kyrie Irving to sign an extension this Summer?
Will all of this help lure coach Cal to run the Cavs?

Also,….Can you remember why all Cavs fans should be thankful to Clippers owner Donald Sterling?

Plus,….as people begin to wonder if the NBA lottery is rigged, it would be a good time to wonder if Michael Jordan was quietly banned from the NBA in 1993 because of a reckless gambling addiction?

& Much More.

NBA Scout Zak Baris On March Madness & If The NBA Should Have A Salary Cap.

March 30, 2014 by Leave a Comment

“The Unhappy Hour” host Brian Engelman once again welcomes Zak Baris to talk about:

– March Madness, who has been the biggest upset so far?
– Who will make it to the Final Four?
– Will the Cavs make the playoffs, & what will they end up doing with the duo of Dion Waiters & Kyrie Irving?

– Plus, after Miguel Cabrera signed a huge deal with the Tigers, LeBron James said ‘wow, I wish we (the NBA) didn’t have a salary cap. He’s the best player in baseball, and the best players in each sport should be rewarded. It’d be nice to sign a 10-year deal worth $300 million.”

– Is a salary cap in the NBA a good idea?
