Barry and Blandy turned on their mics for a late summer pod to talk a little Knicks. Wait, this is the summary for an episode that's more than an hour long? Unfortunately, yes. Barry decided to mail it in. I'm the editing guy and he's the summary guy. So instead of a thoughtful summary you get me blaming Barry for not being a team player. Maybe next time he won't be a dick.
