Gary and Chris dive into Chance the Rapper’s performance at the Grammys, the NFL warning Texas not to pass an HB2-like bill, we play High Fives & Hand Grenades with several topics, discuss the Big 12 having only 18 NFL combine invites (compared to 66 for the SEC), and a new study showing legalized gambling would increase TV ratings for the NFL.

Today’s topics for High Fives & Handgrenades were:

1. Tyrod Taylor will not restructure his deal to remain with the Bills. He’s keeping the money.
2. Could the Bills go into next season with Cardale Jones as their starter?
3. Metallica Summer Tour with Avenged Sevenfold & Volbeat hitting baseball stadiums
4. Kevin Durant being booed by OKC fans
5. Buddy Hield hit Boogie Cousins in the jewels running around a screen Sunday night and was ejected
6. Singer Joy Villa wore a “Make America Great Again” dress on the red carpet at the Grammys… and her cd sales jumped over 18M% up to #1 on the iTunes charts and Amazon
7. Grammys – Adele won Album and Record of the year over Beyonce
8. Jim Harbaugh hired a recruit’s dad as an assistant (Michael Johnson) – but he was Harbaugh’s former position coach when he was QB with the Chargers

 

Gary Segars

Gary began his first website in 1998 as a sophomore in high school, writing reviews of cds and live shows in the Memphis area. He became editor of his college newspaper, then moved towards a career in music.He started the infamous MemphisTider.com blog during the 2006 football season, and was lucky enough to get into blogging just before the coaching search that landed Nick Saban at Alabama. The month and a half long coaching search netted his site, which was known for tracking airplanes, over 1 million hits in less than 90 days. The website introduced Gary to tons of new friends, including Nico and Todd, who had just started the site RollBamaRoll.com.After diving into more than just Alabama news, Gary started up his first installment of WinningCuresEverything.com in 2012. After keeping the site quiet for a while, it was started back up in April 2016. Gary then joined forces with high school friend Chris Giannini and began a podcast during the 2016 football season that runs at least 2 times a week, focusing on college football, NFL football, and sports wagering, and diving into other sports and pop-culture topics.E-mail: gary@winningcureseverything.com Twitter: @GaryWCE
