About this episode

The gang breaks down the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti during a Minneapolis protest against ICE, as federal officials quietly change their public posture amid growing backlash. With video evidence contradicting early claims and questions mounting about the agents’ actions, they ask what the most important unanswered piece of the story really is. Then they turn to the so called “substation theory,” as Super Bowl bound teams avoid the 49ers’ training facility over concerns that a nearby electrical substation may be linked to unusually high injury rates. Is there anything to the theory, or is this just another case of pattern seeking in sports?
