Defector’s own Patrick Redford joins Drew and Roth to talk about two equally failing sports products: PowerSlap and the NBA. We’re kidding, but PowerSlap needs to change to UFC while the NBA needs to talk to their refs about their sleepless nights. And as always, we’re highlighting a Guy of the Week and diving into Funbag! Articles We Talked Abouthttps://defector.com/dana-whites-power-slap-is-an-abominationhttps://defector.com/theres-no-sense-in-the-lakers-crying-over-the-unavoidablehttps://defector.com/why-are-so-many-nba-players-putting-up-40-this-year Sponsors- Shaker and Spoon - Get $20 off your first box at shakerandspoon.com/distraction- Betterhelp - Get 10% off your first month at betterhelp.com/distraction Credits- Hosts: Drew Magary & David Roth- Producer: Eric Silver- Editor: Brandon Grugle- Production Services & Ads: Multitude- Subscribe to Defector! About The ShowFrom Defector Media: Former Deadspin writers Drew Magary and David Roth should really stick to sports. Sure, their new indie sports podcast will break down the week in sports: the Mets grounding into quadruple plays, NBA players getting testy on the court and horny on Instagram, Bill Belichick cutting 80% of his roster just to keep himself interested, horrifying takes from sports talk radio that need to be broken down, etc. But these two men and their guests will have their fair share of off-the-field issues they’ll also have to address: stupid Funbag questions, bad tweets from bad people, pointless food arguments, and even less. Every week is a VERY long week these days. We could all use a little Distraction. Head to defector.com for more info.
