This week on the @ez.smoke.gm.podcast we talk Bulls Basketball as their season winds down. Who can we expect back with the team next season? Who do we think is the front runner in the NBA MVP race? Is the triple double a watered down stat? We also talk some football. We discuss the ongoing soap opera in Green Bay between Aaron Rodgers and Packers management. We discuss Tim Tebow joining the Jacksonville Jaguars. And with HBCU’s accounting for zero picks in last week’s NFL Draft, can high profile coaches like Deion Sanders and Eddie George bring a spotlight to HBCU football.
