Summary: <p>We were all ready for some football on Sunday, but some geniuses over at the Canton Hall of Fame had the ingenious idea to blowtorch some paint and turn the field into a concrete-y mess. Players and officials noted painted spots on the field were incredibly hard, to the point where it would be dangerous to play. Troy Vincent came out and took all the blame, but then proceeded to also blame the rest of the crew that had helped out in the error. </p> <p>The NFL should have to compensate the fans that traveled all the way to Canton just for this game. It was two out of town teams (Indianapolis and Green Bay), so these were not short distances to travel. Money was spent that would not have been spent had this game never been scheduled and the folks that were trying to pay to have a good time should not be punished because the NFL screwed up. The cost doesn’t even factor in how much money advertisers lost because the game didn’t happen. Sad day for football fans.</p> <p>Terelle Pryor took no issue with Vikings lineman Alex Boone saying that at 18 Pryor was difficult to work with due to his arrogance. Pryor, a quarterback at the time says that he has matured and did not seem to take issue with the shade Alex Boone was throwing his way. Sooooo much beef.</p> <p>Lebron James will be staying in Cleveland for at least 3 more years (and hopefully three more championships) after sigining a $100-million deal. </p> <p>The NBA released their 2016-2017 schedule and people were losing their minds with excitement, including Geoff. The Atlanta Hawks even went so far as to <a href="http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/17277756/the-atlanta-hawks-release-emoji-version-their-schedule-twitter">post the total schedule as emojis</a>. Overkill if you ask me, but hey, who am I to judge. </p> <p>USA Men’s Basketball is rolling through the Olympics and looks to easily take another gold medal even though they “had trouble” with Australia, winning 98-88. </p> <p><a href="http://thatonesportsshow.com/podcast/55-1-a-rod-done-prince-retires-ichiro-hits-a-lot-of-balls/">#55.1 – A-Rod Done, Prince Retires, Ichiro Hits a Lot of Balls</a><br> <a href="http://thatonesportsshow.com/podcast/55-2-hall-of-shame-game-some-beef-and-basketball/">#55.2 – Hall of Shame Game, Some Beef, and Basketball</a><br> <a href="http://thatonesportsshow.com/podcast/55-3-the-history-of-the-eephus-pitch/">#55.3 – The History of the Eephus Pitch</a><br> <a href="http://thatonesportsshow.com/podcast/55-4-green-water-finger-wags-and-an-olympic-recap/">#55.4 – Green Water, Finger Wags and an Olympic Recap</a></p>
