Summary: One of the more difficult episodes that have appeared on the show as we begin with a look at the tragic events that began Patriots Day in Boston which serve as an appropriate reminder about what can be wonderful about sport in general and what connects people to the games and competitions, the people who shape these contests, which in a way helps define some of the bizarre choices that were made over the weekend in football. This is where the discussion begins into the events during the FA Cup, first with the terrible events as Millwall supporters turned the scene into a farce at Wembley and then over to the matter of Sergio Aguero and how football authorities continue to remain tone deaf on the matter of video evidence and why we need to take yet another look at the post-match video to hand down punishment all across the sport today. In fact, the inability of this sport to address the basic premise of player safety, hiding behind a cheap veneer of assumed progress and easy-come-easy-go cliches about the sport itself, are failing not only the players and fans as consumers, but is also weakening the hand of our match officials and governing bodies who are, essentially, asleep at the switch when it comes to practical and common sense legislation. We also examine the relegation battle with our favorite to join Reading and QPR for relegation, how Paolo Di Canio picked off a Newcastle that was ripe for the taking off a short week in the Europa League and how Newcastle supporters themselves had a worse week than their football club given some of the off-the-pitch lunacy that endured well after the Derby itself came to an end.
