REShow: Cris Collinsworth and Melvin Gordon. Hour 2 (09-01-20)

Metta World Peace and Rich discuss the recent rash of fan behavior and if we could see another Malice at the Palace incident between players and fans if it keeps up, his advice for NBA players who find themselves accosted by an angry fan, why he’s not worried about the Lakers chances to beat the Suns despite the latest Anthony Davis injury, and why he’s jumping into the boxing ring at the age of 41.    Rich reacts to Naomi Osaka’s withdrawal from the French Open following her $15,000 fine for boycotting the press citing mental health issues and if fans and media are right to criticize her decision, and if professional athletes are obligated to answer questions as part of being a public figure.   Rich and the guys wrap up the hour previewing the night to come in the NBA with Rich recanting his Tyler Herro-Giannis take as his worst ever.

Rich starts the hour with a tongue-in-cheek check in on Medina Spirit and whatever happened to the horse’s 2nd sample that was sent for re-testing after the Kentucky Derby.   Rich reacts to Zach Wilson’s first press conference with the Jets and his challenges of dealing with east coast drivers, which leads into a game-by-game breakdown of the Jets 2021 schedule.     Actor/comedian/host Howie Mandel and Rich discuss the words “moist” and “ointment” which somehow leads to the topic of Simon Cowell, how he got his acting start back in the 80’s on the iconic ‘St. Elsewhere’ drama, how his early career was influenced by Robin Williams, Richard Pryor, and David Letterman, getting to work alongside the likes of Denzel Washington, Kathy Bates and other young actors early in their careers, the new season of ‘America’s Got Talent’ and why he launched his new podcast.   Rich wraps up the hour with a new segment, ‘Confidence Level Friday’ focusing on how confident TJ Jefferson is that his Clippers will still be alive in the NBA Playoffs when the show returns after Memorial Day.  And make sure you check out Rich's other podcast: Just Getting Started with Rich Eisen.

Rich kicks off the hour weighing the merits of the Raiders taking run at landing Falcons WR Juilo Jones and pairing him with TE Darren Waller.    If you’re looking for some early fantasy football advice, Rich names the up-and-coming running back who’s poised to have a monster breakout year in 2021. Hint: his name rhymes with Ram Takers.   Rich reacts to the Giants tweet today that featured a picture of Daniel Jones next to an hourglass icon which could be interpreted to mean the 3rd-year QB is on the clock to prove himself once and for all.   12-year NBA veteran Rex Chapman and Rich discuss if the Suns can rise from the ashes of their -1-2 series hole against the Lakers, what it was like facing Michael Jordan’s Bulls in the playoffs, why he gets emotional just thinking about his new podcast ‘Charges,’ and why tennis star Naomi Osaki has every right to boycott the French Open media to protect her mental health.     Rich and Chris Brockman debate the Osaka issue and whether professional athletes are obligated to speak with the media as part of their deal as public figures.
