  • Basketball Is Ruined... NBA "Fixes" Tanking + March Madness Expansion
    Apr 30 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    We’re diving into some MASSIVE changes across sports — and we’ve got plenty to say about them.

    The NBA is rolling out a new anti-tanking system with its controversial “3-2-1 lottery,” and we break down why it might completely flip the league on its head (and possibly make contenders even stronger). Then we shift to college hoops, where the NCAA is expanding March Madness to 76 teams — is this great for fans, or just another money grab watering down the tournament?

    We also revisit a viral debate from last week about tight ends in the NFL, plus hit a fast-paced no-huddle segment covering everything from Jalen Hurts history to Scottie Scheffler’s dominance, Deshaun Watson’s future, and more.

    • NBA anti-tanking lottery changes explained
    • Why this could HELP teams like OKC dominate even more
    • March Madness expansion to 76 teams — good or bad?
    • Tight end debate reaction from fans
    • No Huddle: NFL, NBA, Golf & College Football rapid-fire takes
