Will Nick Nurse be able to get some needed wins while the reigning NBA MVP is rehabbing his knee? (approx. 4:40)We then brought back our “Up or Down” this week and discussed: The Eagles new quarterbacks coach, and the rumors of Cody Bollinger and Jordan Montgomery possibly heading to the Phillies. (approx. 16:20)We then dove into our segment, “Slide Into Their DMs.” If we had the opportunity to DM anyone in the world of Philly sports - players, coaches, owners, anyone - about anything, and we were guaranteed we'd get a response from that individual, who would we DM, and what would that DM be? (approx. 28:00)Do the Phillies have a pitching prospect worth keeping our eyes on in the farm system from the Australian Baseball League? Australian LHP Lachlan Wells took the ABL by storm as their MVP, and now he's with the Phillies organization. (approx. 36:25)What we threw down on the Table this week was an in-depth discussion and interview with Mark Schofield from SB Nation about the ins and outs of the NFL offseason. When do NFL front offices start looking at the offseason, and how does the process begin? How do organizations generate that balance between the resources and money they have on hand, and the needs for the team that need to be addressed?

Our guest today is Patrick O'Sullivan, the world's first 'Chief Bitcoin Officer', for the Australian Baseball League club, The Perth Heat. In late 2021, Patrick convinced the organization to shift to a full 'bitcoin standard', and since then, they've been experimenting with all the ways in which they can leverage the benefits of bitcoin, to bring a higher-quality and more rewarding experience to players and spectators alike. Recently, grounded in a firm belief in the merits and possibilities of the bitcoin-enabled 'value-for-value' philosophy, the team has launched what their calling 'sats4stats', where live or online spectators can send bitcoin payments directly to players, for whatever reason, in real-time! Patrick and the whole crew at the Perth Heat not only believe that their club will reap substantial rewards by being first in pursuing this strategy, but also that their pioneering work will inspire others to do the same, and in time, completely revolutionize the world of spectator sports.
