Welcome to Episode 12 of the Breaks-down Podcast! As always, we've got a random assortment of topics for your listening and/or viewing pleasure. We start it off with a little bit of housekeeping and discuss the latest news in sports, including the Chiefsaholic saga and how a serial bank robber may be a part of Chiefs history forever.

We then get into Adam and Tom's One Big Thing for the week. Adam's OBT is the NBA's new in-season tournament and why he thinks people's opinions on it are wrong. As well as why it WILL impact players' legacies. Tom's OBT the future of baseball, and MLB's failure to market its players. Tom offers some fixes and weighs the pros and cons. Side Note: It's ridiculous that the Home Run Derby was on a Monday and the All-Star Game was on a Tuesday. Someone in the scheduling department needs a new job. 

And now, for a dose of nostalgia - we've got a draft of the coolest sports video games covers. We'll be waxing nostalgic on the classic covers and our personal experiences with these games growing up. From Backyard Baseball, NBA 2K9, and Madden 97, to the challenge of Fight Night Round 4, it's sure to bring back memories.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
