3AS7: Styles Make Fights

In Episode 7 of Third in Short, Nic Nice and DJ Plum (Jason Plummer) go back and forth on the underwhelming NBA Finals matchup, challenging both the entertainment value and the media hype surrounding Tyrese Haliburton. The duo debates Aaron Rodgers’ controversial move to Pittsburgh and what it really means for the Steelers. They then take a sharp turn into NCAA reform and the billions being opened up to college athletes through NIL deals and retroactive payments. The episode closes with a raw but respectful dialogue on Simone Biles, Riley Gaines, and the increasingly polarized topic of transgender athletes in women’s sports. From Coco Gauff’s Grand Slam win to ESPN’s Doris Burke controversy, nothing’s off-limits. Laced with sharp banter, cultural context, and real disagreement, this episode proves that sports talk can be both entertaining and thought-provoking.
