My first hot take was that Shawn Bradley didn’t deserve to be in Space Jam

(Looking back it’s not really hot, nor much of a take.)

I got older and went into sports radio, where I gave slightly better takes for “money”.

Then I grew up and went into advertising because it seemed fun.

But don’t worry, the takes are still scorching:

  • Ben Wallace should’ve won MVP in ‘04

  • Drew Brees is just Alex Smith with better PR

  • Mia Hamm is the most important American athlete of all time
    (yes, including Michael Jordan)

  • Any CFB team can win running the triple option

I could keep going, or we could just do this in person: brian.a.marcolini@gmail.com
