HausCast 27: Kevin Blackistone Talks NBA Finals

The FanHouse Podcast: Because bloggers are much sexier on the phone.

The NBA Finals start tonight and FanHouse columnist Kevin Blackistone is in Los Angeles for Game 1. Before heading to the Staples Center he talked to Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson about what the Magic will need to do to have a chance in the series (apparently, "more J.J. Redick" isn't the correct answer).

Kobe Bryant is the main story, but Kevin also discusses what this could mean for Stan Van Gundy's legacy (while also making the astute observation: "Do we really know that Stan and Jeff are brothers?").

The conversation then turned to the news that Rodney Harrison will join NBC's Football Night in America and Kevin points out that a player suspended for using HGH would never get a studio gig in baseball. We also touch on drug-testing in NASCAR, before Will wonders if Tom Glavine got a raw deal in Atlanta.

WHAT IS
BACK PORCH?

The easy answer:
Back Porch exists because FanHouse doesn't have a basement for its bloggers. The bigger picture? BP covers sports news that's funny, off-beat and controversial. In short, it's the other side of sports, covered with an edge. Enjoy.
