About this episode

On this episode of Wrighster or Wrong, George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden discuss recent comments by NBA players Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ricky Rubio about potentially giving up NBA millions to spend more time with their kids. Have Societal priorities changed, or is the money so good that there's no incentive to stay in the sport? George and Ralph give their goofiest sports takes and rule changes that they actually believe would make sports better. Next up, the guys preview this weekend's slate of NFL playoff games and give their picks. And finally, a video of torn up packaging from a trainyard leads to George and Ralph having a conversation about the rise of retail theft and mail fraud in America, and why permissive attitudes toward stealing are hurting society in the long run.
